Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As your counsellor, I will explore your experiences through a neurodivergent-affirming lens and do not believe you need “fixing” in any way. Rather, I believe you have unique gifts to bring to the world. I help clients unpack what it's like to be neurodivergent in a neuro-normative society and develop the confidence and skills needed to navigate future challenges successfully. I am passionate about empowering clients to step into the truth of who they are unapologetically and with self acceptance. I support clients struggling with emotional regulation, overstimulation, relationships, self worth, and processing experiences of going undiagnosed and/or being misdiagnosed during your formative years. I offer in-person, virtual or walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you—head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation.

Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous municipalities — home to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, and housing the headquarters of Electronic Arts Canada alongside major Telus offices and other technology employers — creating a therapy demand shaped by tech-sector burnout, academic stress, and a highly multicultural population that includes large Chinese, South Korean, Iranian, and South Asian communities. SFU and BCIT generate significant student mental health demand and clinical training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. Burnaby Hospital and nearby Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community that serves residents increasingly priced out of Vancouver proper. Many Burnaby residents access the broader Metro Vancouver therapy ecosystem, and the relative proximity to Vancouver means specialist care is generally accessible.
