Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Registered Psychotherapist, RMHC, CCC, MSc, CCTP
Something feels off, and you can't quite name it. Maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet down, questions about your identity or sexuality, tension in your relationship, or a sense that your body and your sense of self have drifted apart. Whatever it is, you don't have to untangle it alone.
I'm Charlie, a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish) specializing in anxiety, sexuality, intimacy, identity, and relationship challenges. I work with individuals and couples across Florida and Canada, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I bring a sex-positive, affirming, and genuinely non-judgmental approach to every session.
My work draws from CBT, EFT, Narrative Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, and I tailor everything to what you're actually dealing with, not a generic protocol. Whether you're navigating something you've never said out loud or just feel stuck and ready to move, this is a space where that's possible.

Simone Merkl Marriage Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
My mission is to inspire a deeper appreciation, emotional connection, intimacy, and attraction in your relationship.
Many couples still love each other deeply but find themselves feeling disconnected, misunderstood, stuck in conflict, or unsure how to find their way back to each other. Over time, unresolved hurts, stress, resentment, and emotional distance can slowly replace the closeness and desire that once brought you together.
The good news: relationships can heal.
As a Relationship Attraction Specialist and couples counsellor, I help partners rebuild emotional safety, strengthen attachment, restore intimacy, and rediscover the connection and attraction they desire. I believe attraction is not only about chemistry — it is deeply connected to feeling emotionally safe, valued, understood, respected, and chosen by your partner.
I specialize in relationship challenges and help couples understand the deeper patterns underneath conflict, including attachment styles, emotional triggers, communication differences, relationship polarity, and the wounds from the past that may be affecting the present.
My approach integrates leading evidence-based couples therapy methods, including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. These approaches provide couples with practical tools, deeper insight, and skills to create meaningful and lasting change.
It is incredibly rewarding to witness couples heal old wounds, improve their attachment, and begin treating each other as collaborators instead of adversaries. Together, we work toward creating a relationship where both partners feel seen, heard, validated, desired, and deeply connected.
How Can Relationship Counselling Help?
• Rediscover love, empathy, appreciation, and emotional connection in your relationship
• Feel seen, heard, and validated instead of feeling blamed, criticized, or abandoned
• Create emotional safety and learn how to become a team instead of opponents
• Understand how attachment patterns and past experiences influence your current relationship
• Learn how relationship polarity, intimacy, and emotional connection influence attraction in long-term relationships
• Rebuild trust after emotional or physical betrayal
• Move beyond anger, defensiveness, and control by connecting with deeper emotions and needs
• Develop healthy boundaries and make choices that create more peace and stability
• Learn communication and conflict-resolution skills that strengthen every relationship in your life
One of the most important parts of a healthy relationship is understanding your partner’s inner world — including what happens when they become emotionally flooded.
As the Gottman Institute teaches, couples create stronger bonds when they learn to understand, respond to, and care for each other’s emotional experiences.
Your relationship does not have to stay stuck in the same patterns.
Together, we can transform your relationship:
From conflict to connection.
From distance to desire.
From struggle to strength.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Feeling alone? I would love to support you with therapy personalized to you and your unique needs. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling disconnected, insecure, anxious, angry, sad and exhausted - at ourselves, the world, our family and friends. We don't know what to do about it and it can make us feel utterly alone. Together we can find a path forward so you can move more easily and authentically through life. I work with people experiencing struggles like self-doubt, loneliness, anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, emotional dysregulation and difficulties in relationships or new stages of life.
My style is direct and genuinely non-judgemental. You will hear me say “that makes sense because…” a lot. My goal is to create a space where you can understand what is going on in your life. Because when we understand and accept where we are, we can begin to see a different path for our future - and begin to like ourselves and our lives life more.

Freedom of Expression Counselling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW, T.S., RPT, CPT
Everyone one has their own life experiences that have been undergone in their own way. I recognize uniqueness in everyone's life and that they have a deep need witnessed and honored in those experiences. My practice is about creating space for every individual's unique feelings, circumstances, and experiences without judgement or interpretation. We collaborate to find the deepest meanings within those experiences and we use that to find direction as how we would like to close a chapter or grow next. Healing from experiences is through finding meaning in them and integrating them into ourselves thereby enabling us to live deeper and more enriching lives.

Rebekkah Stainton
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC
You’re smart, driven, and holding it together on the outside… yet the moment things get quiet, your body keeps whispering that something isn’t right. Maybe it’s stress, maybe it’s “just how you are,” or maybe it’s old experiences you’ve spent years outrunning. Even with all your insight and grit, you still feel stuck in patterns you can’t outthink.
Online therapy with me is a calm, structured space where you don’t have to perform, overfunction, or pretend you’re fine. We slow down just enough for you to actually hear yourself without feeling overwhelmed by it. My work focuses on high-functioning women carrying the subtle impact of sexual trauma, especially the way it shows up in stress, overachievement, boundaries, and relationships. Through mind–body–emotion integration and direct, grounded conversations, I help you understand your nervous system, shift out of survival mode, and build a way of living that feels steady, sustainable, and genuinely yours.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large East Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
