Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Do you sometimes feel like your life isn’t worth living? And no matter what you do you still struggle to get back to your usual self? If so, do not worry or lose hope. We have all felt helpless at some point in our lives. If you feel like life would be easier if you were not here try to remind yourself that you are feeling this way only because you are currently lacking the tools you need to feel uplifted and hopeful again. Feelings are temporary, this time will pass. In order to help you get unstuck from this hopelessness, I would be happy to work with you and understand your needs better. Collaboratively we can devise a plan that will help you regain hope for a new and improved future. Feel free to contact me to discuss further. It is never too late for change and growth.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
If part of you is thinking about giving up, there’s another part of you that still hopes for something more.
Suicidal thoughts can feel heavy, isolating, and overwhelming—but they are often protective parts trying to escape deep pain. You are not alone in this. In our work together, we create a safe space to gently explore these thoughts without judgment. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you connect with the parts of you that feel hopeless, as well as the parts that are still holding on. When we approach these inner voices with compassion and curiosity, healing becomes possible. You are not broken. There is help, and there is a path forward—even if it feels far away right now.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCC
Therapy looks very different depending on whether someone is facing a personal crisis or grieving a loss. Suicide-focused counselling offers immediate, structured support to keep an individual safe during their darkest moments. Suicide loss counselling provides a gentle, trauma-informed space for survivors processing the devastating death of a loved one. I utilize both trauma-informed and compassionate-therapeutic approaches for this work.

Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
When working with someone experiencing suicidal ideation, thoughts, or intention, mental health professionals follow specific protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual. Here are some common steps they might take:
1. Establishing a Safe Environment: The mental health professional ensures that the person is in a safe physical environment, free from any immediate harm or access to means of self-harm. If necessary, they may collaborate with emergency services to ensure the individual's safety.
2. Active Listening and Emotional Support: The mental health professional provides a non-judgmental and empathetic space for the person to express their feelings and thoughts. Active listening and emotional support are crucial in helping the individual feel heard, understood, and validated.
3. Assessing the Risk: The mental health professional conducts a thorough assessment to determine the severity of the person's suicidal thoughts, intentions, and risk factors. This assessment may involve exploring the frequency, intensity, and duration of the thoughts, as well as any previous suicide attempts, access to means, and the presence of supportive relationships.
4. Developing a Safety Plan: Collaboratively, the mental health professional and the individual create a safety plan that outlines specific strategies and resources to help manage the crisis. This plan may include identifying trusted individuals to reach out to, developing coping skills and distraction techniques, and establishing steps to remove immediate access to self-harm methods.
5. Referring to Emergency Services: If the risk is immediate or imminent, mental health professionals are mandated to involve emergency services to ensure the individual's safety. This may involve contacting crisis hotlines, local mental health crisis teams, or even admitting the person to a psychiatric facility, depending on the severity of the situation.
6. Treatment and Therapy: Mental health professionals provide ongoing therapy and treatment tailored to the individual's needs. They may utilize evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the underlying issues contributing to suicidal ideation and promote mental well-being.
7. Collaborative Care: Mental health professionals often work collaboratively with other healthcare providers, such as psychiatrists or primary care physicians, to ensure comprehensive care. This may involve medication management, consultation, or coordination of care to address any underlying mental health conditions contributing to the person's distress.
8. Follow-up and Support: Mental health professionals prioritize ongoing support and follow-up after the immediate crisis has passed. They monitor the person's progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and provide continued emotional support to prevent relapses and ensure the individual's well-being.

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.
