Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
I approach counselling as a quiet, supportive partnership where clients feel safe to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. I believe meaningful change happens not through pressure or fixing, but through understanding, patience, and compassionate guidance.
With more than two decades of experience, I support individuals facing emotional overwhelm, trauma-related stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My work is rooted in trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care, with attention to both emotional experiences and how stress is carried in the body.
I aim to offer a calm and respectful space where clients feel valued, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity, stability, and self-trust.

Elysia Bronson (The Woods Counselling)
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Online Therapy, Chronic Pain, & Traumatologist
Chronic pain and trauma can leave you feeling isolated and like your life is shrinking around you. I understand. As a therapist who has also navigated chronic illness, I've walked a similar path.
I specialize in online therapy for chronic pain and trauma because I believe everyone deserves access to support, no matter their location or limitations.
Through online therapy, I offer a safe space to explore your experiences, develop coping skills, and build resilience. I work collaboratively with you to manage pain, increase energy levels, and reduce stress. My goal is to empower you to reclaim control and find joy, even amidst chronic pain and trauma.
It's normal to feel hesitant about opening up to a stranger. My website offers a glimpse into my story and my therapeutic approach.

Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, RCC-ACS (c), DCP(c), ADHD-CCSP
Hi! My name is Yuka (She/Her), and I am glad that you are here.
I’m a neurodivergent Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) candidate with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors, and a person of colour with lived experience navigating neurodivergence. I hold a Master of Counselling degree from Monash University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of British Columbia with a Major in Psychology and a Minor in Law and Society.

My personal journey, including undergoing brain surgery and navigating mental health challenges, has fueled my passion for clinical counselling and holistic well-being, encompassing both mind and body. Born in Japan, raised in Singapore, and now living in Canada, I bring a multicultural perspective that honours the intersection of culture, identity, and lived experience in every session.

Shay Galamiton
Counsellor/Therapist, RPC, MPCC
My mission is to empower individuals to reach their full potential by supporting their personal growth and well-being. Using evidence-based and strengths-based counselling approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve meaningful goals. I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can develop practical tools to manage stress, navigate emotional and behavioural concerns, and create positive, lasting changes that enhance their quality of life.
I am fortunate enough to say that I had lived and experienced two cultures. Living and learning two cultures and two different languages has been a journey for me, but a journey I wouldn’t trade for anything. I am culturally sensitive and acknowledges and respects the difference between different cultural backgrounds and expressions. I love celebrating and empowering everyone I meet, recognizing and valuing their individuality because I believe that embracing multiculturalism gives us a safe place to reflect and challenge ourselves to see the world from a different and unique standpoint.
Throughout our work together, I will take a collaborative and personalized approach, drawing on a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to your unique needs. This may include psychoeducation, practical tools, and connection to community resources, all designed to support and empower you on your healing journey.

Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
I want you to know me beyond my credentials. I grew up feeling invisible and inadequate, struggling with anxiety and low mood, and limiting beliefs that tainted my relationships. It took volunteering and self-reflection to recognize my own worth and seek help. It was a journey of healing for me too, as I confronted my insecurities and found connection and purpose and my dedication in serving others. Now, as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, I’m committed to guiding you with care and compassion. Therapy with me consists of transpersonal and somatic techniques focusing on your growth, emotional experiences and connecting your body and mind. Together we will explore your inner emotional experiences to help you repair the pain you have experienced and support you in feeling seen, heard and ultimately thrive, honouring your pace and vulnerabilities every step of the way.
I offer personalized sessions to address your unique needs, fostering insight and resilience. In a safe and supportive space, I provide active listening and empathy to build trust. Equipping you with tools for stress management, communication, and self-esteem, we navigate challenges together. Taking the first step toward therapy can be transformative; I invite you to schedule a FREE introductory consultation. Let’s unlock your potential and create positive change, empowering you to embrace the life you deserve.

Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Our wounds show up in our relationships — social, professional, intimate, and even with ourselves. Through our work together, I can help you address these wounds at their core so that your healing is deep and profound and leaves a lasting impact. Life will always throw curve balls at you, but you can be stronger and happier from the inside, out — not just on the surface. I've helped many struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, 1st or 2nd-generation immigrant experience, relationship conflict, communication challenges, rebuilding trust and connection, and the complexities of multicultural relationships and the different in-law dynamics and expectations. And if you're not sure what the issue is exactly, I can help you figure that out. I aim to make therapy as impactful as possible while keeping the experience as light as possible by blending warmth with a directness and practicality. We can work in English or Arabic - with an Egyptian flavor!

Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
As a highly sensitive therapist, I offer a warm, attuned presence and a deep capacity to notice the subtleties of a client’s emotional world. I tend to process information thoughtfully and reflectively, which allows for a patient, mindful approach that helps people feel genuinely seen, understood, and safe enough to explore vulnerable parts of their experience. Most of my therapeutic focus areas are intentionally chosen—they reflect experiences I understand personally and have spent years studying, integrating, and applying in meaningful ways. Because of this you can be assured that I am able to meet you where you are at, with sincerity and a dose of genuine humour, listening deeply, noticing subtle patterns and shifts, and encouraging steps forward in a gentle but challenging way.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Our life experiences—especially those marked by adversity, trauma, loss, or difficult relationships—shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. When painful experiences remain unresolved, they can contribute to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, persistent rumination, and deeply ingrained negative thinking patterns. Many people find themselves feeling disconnected from who they truly are, struggling to trust themselves, build healthy relationships, or find peace in the present.
My passion is helping individuals reconnect with themselves, heal from the impact of adverse life experiences, and cultivate a life guided by self-compassion, resilience, and authenticity. I understand that healing is not about "getting over" what has happened—it is about understanding how your experiences have shaped you, making sense of your emotional responses, and developing new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others.
I believe that much of our emotional suffering arises when we struggle to reconcile the gap between our lived reality and our expectations of ourselves, others, or life itself. Over time, this struggle can lead to self-criticism, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and a sense of disconnection. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, helping you move away from surviving and toward genuinely living.
Whether you are coping with the effects of childhood adversity, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or a persistent inner critic, I will walk alongside you with compassion, empathy, and respect. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen emotional resilience, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and replace cycles of rumination and self-doubt with greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence.
I believe every individual is the expert on their own life and already possesses the capacity for growth and healing. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to create a safe, collaborative, and trusting therapeutic relationship where your strengths, values, and inner wisdom can emerge. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, honouring your experiences while helping you build practical tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and emotional balance.
I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy is a space where you can bring your whole self—your fears, hopes, struggles, and strengths—and know that you will be met with compassion, validation, and genuine care. Healing is a journey, and you do not have to walk it alone.

Coquitlam is one of Metro Vancouver's Tri-Cities communities, a rapidly growing suburb that has attracted a large and diverse immigrant population—particularly from China, South Korea, and Iran—making it one of the most multicultural communities in the greater Vancouver area and creating significant demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapy. Fraser Health provides public mental health services, and access to Vancouver's much broader private therapy market—either in person or via telehealth—gives Coquitlam residents a wide range of options for culturally matched practitioners. The city's rapid growth and its character as a first landing point for many new Canadians means that acculturation stress, immigration transition, and intergenerational family dynamics are among the most common presenting concerns in local therapy practices. Common therapy concerns also include anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and the challenges of navigating Canadian institutions and community life in a new country.
