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.

Rachelle Tersigni
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety, relational difficulties, attachment wounds, and/or the effects of complex or developmental trauma. I also work with couples and two-person family configurations.
My work is depth-oriented and relational, with an emphasis on nervous-system responses and compassionately making sense of protective strategies that have developed over time. Therapy with me is largely focused on what is happening in the room in the here and now. It is paced to support safety and integration rather than pressure, performance or doing.
I work with adults seeking deeper self-understanding, emotional regulation, and more sustainable ways of relating to themselves and others.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
You've been managing. Keeping it together. Showing up for everyone who needs you, handling what needs to be handled, and quietly wondering why it still feels like something is missing or wrong.
Maybe you've survived something hard. Maybe you can't quite name what's weighing on you, but you feel it. Maybe life looks fine from the outside, and that almost makes it harder to explain.
Whatever happened to you, something covered the authentic you. Let's find it.
I want to be someone you don't have to perform for. Somewhere you can set down whatever you've been carrying, fall apart if you need to, and know that nobody here will judge you for it. Just someone who genuinely listens, cares, and helps you start asking: what do I actually want now?
Whether we meet online or in person, the experience is the same. The same care, the same presence, the same work.

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.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. ____________ Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stretched thin. I provide a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy can help uncover the ways we have been coping and the patterns of behaviour that we continue to use.
I work with people who are struggling with trauma, including sexual assault, childhood abuse and family estrangement. I also work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship concerns, chronic illness/chronic pain, issues with self-worth and grief/loss. I also hold space for individuals who are going through all the life transitions that we go through from our late teens to 40s.
I believe healing happens through connection and safety. Together, we’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you—especially those formed early in life. By understanding their roots, you can begin to reconnect with your authentic self and your body’s wisdom. My approach is warm, collaborative and honest. I am genuinely interested in what is going on for my clients and will wade through the messiness that is life with you.
In our work together, I focus on the mind-body connection within a trauma-informed, client-centred space. We’ll process experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, supporting meaningful, lasting change. I pull from Adlerian Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR and somatic approaches to understand my client’s world.
If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to take the next step toward your growth and well-being, reach out to book a free consultation or initial session. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your healing journey.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
If you are exhausted by traditional therapies that treat your distress as an individual defect to be managed, I invite you into a different kind of therapeutic alliance. Based online in Vancouver and available across Canada, my practice focuses on deep nervous system awareness, somatic tracking, and creative exploration. I view your anxiety, numbness, or protective armor not as dysregulation to be aggressively corrected, but as highly intelligent survival responses to historical trauma and everyday systemic oppression. Our work together is unhurried, deeply relational, and focused on cultivating genuine self-compassion and embodied safety from the inside out.

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.
