Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Forgive and forget is what everyone will tell you, but what they don’t tell you is how. When you are ready, feel free to take that next step with me to find out how.

Forgiveness
David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Forgiveness can be complicated, especially when hurt, resentment, disappointment, or guilt have been carried for a long time. Sometimes forgiveness is connected to other people, while other times it involves learning how to let go of anger toward yourself, make peace with the past, or move forward from experiences that still feel emotionally heavy.
I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore these experiences openly and honestly, without pressure to “just move on” before you’re ready. Together, we can work toward understanding, healing, and finding a way forward that feels genuine and meaningful to you.

Forgiveness
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as a requirement for healing, but I believe it is a deeply personal choice. Drawing on over 15 years of experience working with survivors of complex trauma and abuse, I understand that for some, choosing not to forgive is a vital act of self-protection and boundary-setting.
In our work, there is no pressure to reach a state of forgiveness to 'earn' your peace. Instead, we focus on helping your 'parts' find relief from the burden of the past. Whether you choose to forgive or you choose to hold your boundary, my goal is to help you move toward a life of clarity and internal stability—free from the judgment of others and the weight of old wounds.

When you've been deeply hurt, feelings of anger, resentment, and betrayal can feel overwhelming and difficult to let go of. Together, we'll work through these painful emotions, helping you process what happened, find healing, and move forward in a way that feels right for you whether or not forgiveness is part of your journey. My goal is to help you find peace, regain your emotional freedom, and ensure that your past no longer defines your present.

Forgiveness
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Forgiveness can have a lot of different meanings depending on who you talk to. I believe forgiveness is about being able to acknowledge that someone has hurt us, but not letting that hurt dictate how we think, act, or feel. This can be an incredibly difficult place to get to depending on how we were hurt. I work with people on acknowledging the hurt, processing how it has affected them, figuring out how this hurt affects their lives now, and how to move forward in a way that honours their pain while beginning to heal it.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Forgive the person and not the behaviour while still having healthy boundaries and not allowing abuse to continue. When people violate in various ways they are acting from their unconscious wounds and anxieties and are not healthy to be around. Lack of forgiveness negatively affects your health.

Forgiveness
Mr. Paul Bains
Therapist, B.Sc., M.A., RCC
Forgiveness is a hard decision for some to make. There are many questions, such as: Should I forgive someone who has hurt me? Why would I want to forgive? I am too angry to forgive, and I don't think what someone did to me is forgivable. Forgiveness is a choice; indeed, one does not have to forgive. However, there is a great benefit to you to going through a process of forgiveness that can open you up to a fuller way of living your life. Forgiveness can bring peace, calm and happiness. Call now to see how forgiveness can change your life.

Richmond, British Columbia is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities outside of Asia — with Chinese Canadians comprising roughly half 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.
