Laura Chartrand
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach is gentle and non-judgmental — this is a space to actually explore what you're feeling, not just manage it.
I've had my own experience with anxiety and self-doubt, and it shapes how I show up with clients. I don't believe healing means fixing something broken in you. It means reconnecting with who you already are underneath the noise.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you don't have to sort through it alone.

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.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Daniel endured prolonged trauma in early childhood; yet, through a deep and courageous healing process, he emerged with a profound understanding of suffering and adversity in others. With the support of compassionate individuals, he stabilized his life and gained meaningful insight into the roots of his struggles. Over time, he learned to navigate and resolve these challenges—mentally, emotionally, and behaviorally—while learning how to prevent further harm and ultimately, how to flourish.
Drawing from both his personal journey and extensive formal education, Daniel now provides effective counseling and therapy grounded in evidence-based practices. His work is deeply informed by lived experience and professional expertise, allowing him to meet clients with empathy, clarity, and practical support.
Daniel is known for his humility and gentle presence, yet he brings a clear and steady firmness when needed. As a skilled and committed therapist, he is deeply invested in his clients’ well-being—helping them feel safe, understand their experiences, and build the inner freedom and resilience needed to create a meaningful and fulfilling life.
