Hira Imam
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP, RCC, CCC
There is a lot going on in life some of it - if not all of it - is demanding. The burden of it all feels entirely on you and if you don't manage it then who will? I support individuals in managing their level of stress as they navigate their life and work hard towards their goals. The load can feel lighter and you can still move towards your needs. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*

GrewpTogether.ca
Pre-Licensed Professional, BPHE, MRE, MACP
Stress is both good and bad. Positive stress is what hones our focus and determination. Negative stress is something to be soothed, something to understand and meet with curiosity. There are tools, I can give you those; there are different mindsets and I can give you those too; but most of all there is a decision to meet the anxious sides of you with compassion until these neural pathways begin to trust that the story they tell about the world isn't the only one worth listening to.

Anna Vaisser Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, MEd, RCC
Stress can build quietly or all at once, leaving your mind tense, your body on alert, and your capacity stretched thin. In therapy, I help you understand your stress responses through both a cognitive and somatic lens—how your nervous system reacts, how patterns form, and how they can be gently reshaped. Using mindfulness‑based practices, body‑focused therapies, parts work, CBT, and neuropsychological insight, we strengthen your ability to self‑regulate and create more internal space. My aim is to help you feel steadier, more grounded, and more able to meet challenges without becoming overwhelmed.

Ongoing stress can affect emotional balance, physical health, sleep, and overall well-being. It may arise from work pressure, family responsibilities, life transitions, or prolonged emotional strain. I provide a calm and supportive space where individuals can explore the sources of stress without judgment.
My approach focuses on practical coping strategies, emotional regulation, and restoring balance to the mind and body. Through gentle counselling, mindfulness-based techniques, and structured support, clients learn to manage stress more effectively, improve resilience, and regain a sense of control in daily life.

Stress
Rebekkah Stainton
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC
Your mind runs at high speed—analyzing, planning, preparing for every possible scenario. Sometimes that mental energy serves you well, but when chronic stress takes over, it can leave you feeling wired and tired at the same time.
In today’s world, stress is unavoidable. While stress itself is not inherently negative, it can become a problem when it gets out of control and even contribute to an overwhelming feeling of anxiety.
Whether you're dealing with ongoing burnout, sudden panic attacks, or that constant background hum of anxiety, we work with both your thinking brain and your nervous system to create real relief. This isn't about managing symptoms—it's about understanding why your system gets activated and developing tools that work with your body's natural responses.
You'll learn to recognize the early signals before stress overwhelms you and develop practical strategies that integrate both cognitive and somatic approaches to help you feel genuinely calm, not just temporarily distracted.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCC
Stress counselling provides a safe and relaxed environment to reflect on your life's challenges. When things feel overwhelming, it's good to work with someone who creates a supportive space to figure out what is draining you and how it is impacting your body. I use mindfulness and somatic tools, as well as addressing self-care and self-compassion in this work. I specialize in burnout prevention and strive to help my clients live more authentically and get out of "survival mode".

Stress
Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Some stress is situational and passes. But chronic stress, the kind that lives in your body and follows you home, is usually a signal that something deeper needs attention. I work with people to understand what's driving it and build something more sustainable than just coping harder, because pushing through has a limit, and most people who find me have already hit it.

David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Stress can build slowly over time until it feels like you’re constantly tense, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unable to switch off properly. Work, relationships, family responsibilities, uncertainty, and the pressure to keep everything together can leave you feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted without even realizing how much you’ve been carrying.
I offer a calm and supportive space where you can slow things down, speak openly about what’s weighing on you, and better understand the pressures affecting your well-being. Together, we can work toward finding healthier ways to manage stress, create balance, and help you feel more grounded in your everyday 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.
