Rebekah Hart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MSc(a), MFT
As a psychotherapist, couple and family therapist, ecotherapist and drama therapist, I work with couples adults and groups at diverse stages of life. My work is systemic in that I see individuals as impacted by, and interconnected within, larger networks of relationships and social systems. The values underlying my practice are rooted in a long-term dedication to social justice, my belief in creativity as a healing force, and my love and respect for the natural world. Seeking help takes courage, and no one approach works for everyone. I work collaboratively, and tailor my approach to each unique person.
My work as a therapist is informed by attachment theory, a respect for the natural intelligence of emotions and the body, and an understanding of trauma and human development. My background includes advanced training in Family Systems, EFT Couple Therapy, Ecotherapy, Hakomi, and Drama Therapy. I specialize in working with climate distress and eco-anxiety.
I believe that, given the right support, each individual has the wisdom and resources within them to move towards positive change and wholeness. I welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, ages and cultural backgrounds, as well as couples and families in traditional and non-traditional configurations.

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.

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.

Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
Do you feel stuck and disconnected? I support individuals and couples in addressing their well-being and feel more connected. With empathy, compassion, and deep understanding, I hope to create a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. As we are all social animals who need to be seen and heard in our relationships; we can only feel complete when we have authentic connections.
I practice from a client-centered approach embedded with transpersonal and somatic therapy techniques to support you in feeling more connected to your mind and body. My focus is on individual and family relationships, intergenerational and racial trauma, limiting self beliefs, feminist perspectives, and mental health and substance use disorders.
I know that coming to therapy can be terrifying. I honor you in taking this brave step for yourself. I am dedicated to being truthful with you and work with you at your pace with care, compassion, and gentleness. I invite you to reach out and schedule a FREE introductory consultation session. Together, we can unlock your true potential.

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.
