Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Hope gives people a reason to continue fighting and believing that their current circumstances will improve, despite the unpredictable nature of human existence. However, to feel hopeful can be tricky when you’ve experienced depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief and loss, and emotional pain. How do you go through those hard times? I have been privileged to support thousands of people of all backgrounds and ages to find their hope back despite life challenges.

My aim is to help folks get to the bottom of their concerns, and to support them in making meaningful changes in their lives. Sometimes we have the sense that something is not quite right, even if we cannot pinpoint what exactly it is. Other times we may want to get out of our heads and feel more present. Whatever your concern, I am here to support you in discerning what it is that’s in the way from allowing you to live the life you want to live. Together, you and I will work to identify and unpack your lived experiences and the values that inform where it is you want to go.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. As a Black and queer counsellor, I work to help those who are in need of a safe space to open up about difficult issues that they have faced in their life. I work from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens in order to create a safe environment for every client I work with. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA2S+ folks, BIPOC folks, and sex workers, and I welcome anyone outside of these communities to reach out as well.

During my 15 years as a medical doctor and 4 years as a counsellor I learned that challenges are part of the human experience and we all feel stuck at some point in our lives, but also that movement and growth are always possible. I strive to provide a safe and compassionate interpersonal space where you can remove obstacles and create the life that you want.

Hello, I'm Jenny, a compassionate counselor dedicated to providing support with warmth and professionalism.

You've felt the weight of expectations to conform to other’s standards of who you “should” be for as long as you can remember. It might feel extra draining as the pressure comes from multiple sources- perhaps from family, friends, religion, school, or society. You’re fed up with spinning in the same circles and experiencing the same internal conflict; parts of you are done with feeling unseen and misunderstood, while other parts of you have concerns about being a burden or have fears about being perceived. Together, let's create a space where you don't need anyone's approval or to be anything other than exactly who you are.

For over 30 years I have enjoyed working with individuals, couples and families. I believe in using methods that are grounded in theory and research. My goal is to help people help themselves. I view people as resourceful. My role is to facilitate them in accessing and expressing their thoughts and feelings. Self-awareness enables people to access their own resources, allowing them to live the life they want to live. I see myself as a resource for people who want confidential help to deal with personal issues and I strive hard to deliver effective productive service in a timely manner.

I help adults experiencing a significant loss within their careers, relationships or other personal circumstances and are looking for greater peace, stability, purpose, and fulfillment while navigating these challenging life transitions.

Your goal can be short term or ongoing support. You may be seeking tools to help work through a particularly challenging time or you may be curious about personal exploration. I'm trained in many different styles including CBT, Hypnotherapy, Somatic experiencing,EMDR. I believe in research backed treatments as well as exploring spiritual or philosophical meanings if that fits with my clients values and beliefs. Offering different approaches ensures clients find an approach that works for them.

Do you wonder if you’re the only one around who experiences the world with the intensity you do? Depending on how stressed you are, it may feel like you’re on alert or like you’re living in a soundproof glass box, cut off from others. You may have a hard time focusing on conversations with co-workers and family. You might have been told you’re "oversensitive" or have "no filter.". You may be feeling frustrated with yourself for not being able to get things together and just move forward, but the pandemic has made everything harder, and it feels like there are always too many moving parts. You want for a space to talk this through.

I work specifically with women (teens and adults). My one-on-one approach offers deep emotional support and a safe space to explore your challenges and hopes. Many of my clients are successful and vibrant externally (professionals, students, mothers) but they face some deeper internal challenges. Perhaps it is hard to understand why this issue persists despite your ability to manage so well in other areas of your life. I will support you to live the life you envisioned for yourself, free from unnecessary emotional difficulties.

You deserve to be happy at work! I am a career counsellor who helps confused, burned-out, disillusioned individuals find clarity and hope. I love supporting folks who may not fit into the traditional career boxes because let's face it, not everyone has dreams of being an executive or climbing the corporate ladder! Using a holistic, flexible and creative approach I help folks figure out what is important to them in a career, what strengths they bring to the table, what fits and what doesn't, and how to find happiness and success in any future role. Clients say that they feel grounded and more clear after our work together.

As a queer and trans therapist, my experience allows me to attend to many ways of being that are not always understood. I am ideally suited to those who walk along one or more of these paths, including queerness, transness, neurodivergence, ethical non-monogamy, kink- and power exchange-based relationships, and parenting in structures outside of the hetero nuclear family.

Whether you want more out of life, love, your relationship, or all of the above, it is possible!

Whatever your unique story, if you're looking for guidance through a challenging situation or you're ready to move with intention in a new direction, I'm here to help and to celebrate your progress throughout!

The body holds inner stories that are trying to be told, but when the mind doesn’t know how to process them, they show up as anxiety, depression, and/or behaviours that directly impact our connection to ourselves and others.

We can work together to explore strategies for challenges, difficult emotions and uncover what lights you up –allowing you to create conscious and lasting change.

Our sessions are designed to foster rapid results and instigate positive changes in neural architecture, ultimately facilitating deep and lasting personal growth and development.

I am a registered clinical counsellor who is fascinated by the human experience, and by how much transformative healing can happen within a safe and trusting connection.

I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, and depression. As a solution-focused therapist, I utilize evidence-based techniques to help you identify and overcome negative thought patterns. If you're struggling to find a sense of well-being in your life, you may feel chronically unwell, and disconnected from your core sense of self. You might find yourself relying on unfulfilling coping strategies, or caught in patterns that lead you back to the same point, again and again.
