Mental Health Counselling in Vancouver, BC
Mental Health Concerns We Address
Low Self-Esteem
Struggling with self-doubt or feeling unworthy? Our therapy sessions help you build confidence, develop self-compassion, and challenge negative self-talk so you can embrace your true worth.
Inner Critical Voice
Does your inner critic hold you back with self-judgment and doubt? Our therapy helps you recognize and reframe negative thought patterns, fostering self-compassion and a more empowering mindset.
Anxiety and Panic
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. We use mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and somatic approaches to help you reduce stress, calm racing thoughts, and restore inner peace.
Trauma & PTSD
Early-life trauma and PTSD can impact your emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. We provide a trauma-informed approach to help you process past experiences and reclaim your sense of self.
Relationship Counselling
Healthy relationships require trust, emotional safety, and communication skills. Whether you're struggling with conflict, attachment wounds, or intimacy challenges, we offer supportive therapy to strengthen your connections.
Therapy for Creative Blocks
Feeling stuck in your creative process? Whether you're an artist, writer, or entrepreneur, we provide insightful therapy to help you overcome fear, perfectionism, and resistance so you can reconnect with your creative flow.
Grief and Loss Counseling
Loss can feel isolating, but healing is possible. We offer gentle, supportive therapy to help you navigate grief, process emotions, and find meaning after a significant loss.
Life Transitions Support
Big changes—whether personal, professional, or relational—can bring uncertainty and stress. We offer guidance and emotional support to help you move through transitions with clarity and confidence.
Chronic Stress & Burnout
Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected? Our therapy sessions focus on stress management, nervous system regulation, and self-care strategies to help you recover and restore balance.
Substance Use & Addiction
Whether you're questioning your relationship with substances or seeking support in recovery, we offer non-judgmental, harm-reduction-informed therapy to help you regain control and well-being.
Anger Management
Struggling with anger or emotional outbursts? We help you understand your triggers, develop coping tools, and express emotions in healthier ways to improve relationships and self-awareness.
ADHD & Neurodiversity
Living with ADHD or neurodivergence brings both unique challenges and remarkable strengths. We offer compassionate, strengths-based therapy to help you navigate executive functioning challenges, improve emotional regulation, and foster self-acceptance while embracing your authentic neurodivergent self.
