Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I provide a steady, nonjudgmental space for working with personality challenges—patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that cause distress or disrupt relationships. I’ll help you understand how these patterns developed, build insight and emotional regulation skills, and practice healthier ways of connecting with others. Using a collaborative, paced approach, I’ll support you in reducing conflict, improving self-awareness, and creating more flexible, fulfilling ways of living.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the complexities of personality disorders through an integrative, client-centered approach. I use parts work to explore and harmonize the different facets of your inner world, acceptance and commitment therapy to anchor you in values-driven living, and mindfulness-based techniques to enhance emotional regulation and self-awareness. I also draw on cognitive and emotion-focused strategies to challenge unhelpful patterns and process deep feelings, and incorporate spiritual/existential approaches when necessary to foster hope and connection. My goal is to provide a structured yet compassionate space where you can develop insight, build resilience, and move toward more balanced, fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.

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.
