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.

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.

GrewpTogether.ca
Pre-Licensed Professional, BPHE, MRE, MACP
I've launched "GREWP". It builds community, connection, and is for anyone 35 years and up. Coming together with the intention of gain more self-trust, confidence, and a new path forward instead of feeling "always on", burned out, or consumed with thoughts. We tackle it all in a group therapy format - offered both online and in-person to those local to Vancouver. I'm proud of how Grewp allows for affordable, consistent support while also being modern, helpful, relevant to busy lifestyles and budgets while at the same time building community.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Whatever happened to you, something covered the authentic you. Let's find it.
You've been managing. Keeping it together. Showing up for everyone who needs you, handling what needs to be handled, and quietly wondering why it still feels like something is missing or wrong.
Maybe you've survived something hard. Maybe you can't quite name what's weighing on you, but you feel it. Maybe life looks fine from the outside, and that almost makes it harder to explain.
I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to need support and not receive it. I also know what it feels like to finally find it, and how much that changes everything. My own experience with trauma, addiction, and recovery shapes how I show up: with genuine warmth, without judgment, and with a deep belief that people can move forward no matter how stuck they feel right now.
I work with an integrative, person-centered approach and view anxiety, depression, and addiction by looking at underlying trauma. I want to find the root with you and heal the problem, not just manage symptoms.
Of course, how struggles show up is different for everyone, I don't believe there can be one-size-fits-all solutions. I listen to your story, understand you through how you survived, and work with you on the patterns that keep showing up. I want to truly listen and help you ask, and answer, "What do you really want now?"
If you've been waiting for a sign to reach out, this is it. I'd love to hear from you.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
Do you often feel like it's up to you to keep the peace in relationships or get things done? You may be conscientious, dependable, and committed to doing things “the right way,” while privately experiencing stress, exhaustion, self-criticism, or disconnection.
If you identify with Type C traits, you may prioritize others, avoid conflict, keep difficult emotions to yourself, and feel pressure to continually accomplish more. While these qualities can reflect strength and integrity, they may also contribute to burnout, chronic stress or pain, disrupted sleep, relationship difficulties, and feeling dissatisfied despite your achievements.
I support high-functioning adults who want to maintain their values and sense of purpose while developing greater balance, self-compassion, and emotional well-being. Our collaborative, trauma-informed work may focus on boundaries, communication, stress management, self-criticism, sleep, chronic pain, emotional expression, or relationships.
Together, we’ll develop practical strategies tailored to your goals so you can protect your energy, strengthen connections, and create lasting change—without losing who you are. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to explore whether we’re a good fit.

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.

Nexus Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, Candace Marshall MA, CCC
Being in the nexus of something means you are right in the middle of it hence, easy to feel overwhelmed by the multitude of things coming at you. At Nexus, I will work with you within the context of a nonjudgmental, collaborative and healing therapeutic relationship to parse out and clearly see the interwoven links and connections that contribute to how you experience, perceive and interpret life's challenges, difficulties and obstacles. Understanding these connections allows for the separation of what is important to you and focus on your goal(s) to improve your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
While I work with clients from all walks of life with varied life issues & psychological disorders, my clinical work is largely focused on working with clients affected by Dissociative Disorders and PTSD. Since graduating in 2013, I have accumulated over 10,000 clinical hours with this population & work using range of approaches depending on client needs.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist
My approach to counselling is holistic, honouring the whole person: mind, body, heart, and spirit, rather than focusing only on symptoms.
Having lived in Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Canada, I understand personally what it can mean to navigate different cultures, identities, and ways of belonging. I have had the privilege of working with people from European, North American, Asian, African, and multicultural backgrounds, across different ages and stages of life. I welcome the unique culture, story, and perspective each person brings into the room.
