Alzheimers Therapists in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Though I haven't yet worked with any Alzheimers clients, I have worked with some Parkinson's subjects as well as other neurological problems. Hypnosis has been shown to be effective in helping with Parkinson's tremors as well as other aspects of the condition including depression. I was asked if I could help someone suffering from a condition called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, which is related to ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease. It is a condition with no cure or treatment. When I first met the client, he had been deteriorating for 12 years and was expected to die soon. He was confined to a wheelchair and could no longer speak. He drooled constantly and though wearing a bib, already in the morning was soaked with saliva. He suffered from tremors and got locked in repetitive movements several times a day, had trouble sleeping and couldn't get motivated to do his physical therapy, the only thing his doctors could offer him. In our first session, we were able to eliminate the tremors and repetitive movements, get him to sleep more soundly, and motivate him to do his PT. After the second session he was able to speak for the first time in ears and he got out of his wheelchair and walked. After 5 sessions you couldn't even tel he was sick and now, 6 years later, he's till walking the dog, gardening, hiking his favorite trails.

Watching someone you love disappear into dementia is one of life's most painful journeys. I walked this path with my mother through every stage of Alzheimer's, and I understand the exhaustion, grief, and guilt that caregivers carry. Together, we'll create space for your complex emotions—the love and the resentment, the hope and the despair. You'll learn to regulate your nervous system amid the chaos, find compassion for yourself in impossible moments, and navigate each stage with greater clarity. This isn't about fixing what can't be fixed—it's about sustaining yourself while honoring both your loved one and your own well-being. ---

I provide compassionate support for individuals and families navigating Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline. This includes emotional support, coping strategies, and guidance through the changes that impact identity, relationships, and daily life. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space that prioritizes dignity, connection, and presence through every stage

Richmond, British Columbia is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities outside of Asia — with Chinese Canadians comprising a significant majority of the population and Mandarin and Cantonese widely spoken — creating a therapy community where demand for Chinese-language and culturally competent therapists far exceeds available supply. The city's proximity to Vancouver International Airport and its role as a gateway community for recent immigrants from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan shapes a therapy landscape particularly attuned to immigration stress, cross-cultural family dynamics, and the identity challenges of first-generation residents. Richmond Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that is increasingly building capacity in Chinese-language care. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains a significant barrier, and many therapists in Richmond invest considerable clinical energy in normalizing therapy as part of their work.
