Life can sometimes bring unexpected challenges—whether you’re coping with anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma, sexual concerns, PTSD symptoms, or a significant life transition. You may be looking for a place to make sense of what you’re experiencing, feel more grounded, or simply have someone supportive to talk to.
I offer compassionate, individualized therapy for individuals and couples, using evidence-based approaches that may include talk therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, and somatic approaches. Together, we can explore what you’re experiencing, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful therapeutic goals that reflect your needs and priorities.
As a Registered Psychotherapist, EMDR International Association Certified Therapist and EMDR Consultant,, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Sex Therapist, and Canadian Certified Counsellor, with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, I bring specialized training and experience to my work. Therapy services are also available with my Registered Psychotherapist Associate, who provides individualized support tailored to each client’s needs.
Sessions are conveniently offered online by secure video, allowing you to access therapy from the privacy and comfort of your home or another private space.

Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC-P, RTC
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted? You are not alone. Hi, I’m Ida.

Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Choosing a Counsellor or Psychotherapist is a very personal process. It can be difficult to take that first step, even if it is not your first time in therapy. I am a Vancouver based Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Private Practice. I offer both in person and online sessions. I also offer 15 minute free telephone consults to help you decide if you feel the connection you need to enter into this very vulnerable and personal relationship.
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the BC College of Social Workers, and have my Master of Social Work (MSW) from UBC; a Bachelor of Arts (BA), in Psychology; and a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), both from McMaster University.
I have over 22 years of extensive clinical experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, families and groups. I work with all ages on any issues that are getting in the way of the client experiencing life to its fullest in the very personal way they want to live.

Haimove Amir
Registered Psychotherapist, psychotherapist
I believe therapy begins with being genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. My work is grounded in the belief that every child, teenager, adult, and family has unique strengths, experiences, and needs that deserve to be respected.
I am Amir Haimove, founder of Autism Center for Kids, with more than 20 years of experience working with children, families, autism, ADHD, developmental challenges, and emotional and social needs. My background in child development has shaped an approach that looks beyond a diagnosis or a particular behaviour and seeks to understand the person behind it.
I provide individualized, compassionate therapy and support for children, teens, and families, with a particular focus on autism, ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation, social challenges, and developmental concerns. My therapeutic work may incorporate approaches such as play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, art therapy, and other developmentally appropriate interventions depending on the individual's needs and goals.
For autistic children, I believe therapy should respect neurodiversity and support genuine communication, emotional development, confidence, relationships, and independence rather than simply focusing on making a child appear or behave differently. Play, connection, creativity, and relationships can provide powerful opportunities for children to express themselves and develop new skills.
I also work with parents and families because meaningful change often happens when caregivers feel supported and better understand their child's experiences. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment where families can explore concerns, develop practical strategies, and build stronger relationships.
Whether someone is seeking support for a child, teenager, or themselves, I want therapy to feel like a place where they can be understood without judgment and supported at their own pace. My goal is not to provide a one-size-fits-all solution, but to work collaboratively with each person and family to develop meaningful, individualized support.
My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and empowered, no matter their challenges. I specialize in working with clients facing anxiety, trauma, social-emotional difficulties, autism, ADHD, and family transitions. Through online and in-person therapy, I aim to create personalized and meaningful therapeutic relationships that foster long-term resilience and emotional well-being.
At Tikvah, we are proud to support a wide range of communities, including newcomers, refugees, and families from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. My work is not only a profession—it is a calling to help people find hope, strength, and transformation through therapy.
