Simone Merkl Marriage Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
My mission is to inspire a deeper appreciation, connection, and intimacy in your relationship. It is rewarding to witness couples improve their attachment by healing old wounds with one another, even after a few sessions. It is gratifying when partners start to treat their spouse like a collaborator instead of their adversary. I establish a safe and empathetic counselling environment and believe in being authentic by using a light-hearted atmosphere throughout my approach. I can guide your journey by navigating peaceful resolutions in your relationship.
Please feel free to view my website. I appreciate hearing from you, and I offer a free 20-minute consultation.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counsellor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 39 years
FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

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.

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, Telus, and other major technology companies — 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 Royal Columbian Hospital 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.
