Stress
David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Stress can build slowly over time until it feels like you’re constantly tense, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unable to switch off properly. Work, relationships, family responsibilities, uncertainty, and the pressure to keep everything together can leave you feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted without even realizing how much you’ve been carrying.
I offer a calm and supportive space where you can slow things down, speak openly about what’s weighing on you, and better understand the pressures affecting your well-being. Together, we can work toward finding healthier ways to manage stress, create balance, and help you feel more grounded in your everyday life.

Stress
Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
Chronic stress isn’t always just about having too much to do—it often comes from emotional weight carried quietly over time. Many people get stuck in high-alert, people-pleasing, or perfectionistic patterns that once helped them feel safe in control or valued. Together, we explore what your stress is trying to protect and work toward relief that goes deeper than quick fixes.

Stress
Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
Stress can build when life feels overwhelming, leaving the body and mind in a constant state of tension. Many people push through their limits without noticing the emotional toll—irritability, worry, exhaustion, or a sense of being “on edge.” I offer a space to slow down, understand your stress responses, and develop healthier ways to cope through mindfulness techniques, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and somatic awareness exercises.

Stress
Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Stress is can be having too much to do, but it can also be connected to deeper patterns, underlying fears, constant pressure, difficult relationships, perfectionism, or feeling responsible for everything and everyone. Together, we can understand what is driving your stress and develop practical tools, habits, and ways of responding and adjusting so that you feel less overwhelmed and more grounded and intentional about your day-to-day life.

Stress
Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Some stress is situational and passes. But chronic stress, the kind that lives in your body and follows you home, is usually a signal that something deeper needs attention. I work with people to understand what's driving it and build something more sustainable than just coping harder, because pushing through has a limit, and most people who find me have already hit it.

GrewpTogether.ca
Pre-Licensed Professional, BPHE, MRE, MACP
Stress is both good and bad. Positive stress is what hones our focus and determination. Negative stress is something to be soothed, something to understand and meet with curiosity. There are tools, I can give you those; there are different mindsets and I can give you those too; but most of all there is a decision to meet the anxious sides of you with compassion until these neural pathways begin to trust that the story they tell about the world isn't the only one worth listening to.

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.
