Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
If and when gambling becomes problematic, it is nearly always a coping mechanism for deeper emotional struggles. Healing involves uncovering the underlying roots, cultivating supportive connections, and approaching oneself with patience and compassion instead of judgment.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: CBT, motivational interviewing-informed, emotion-focused and relapse-prevention strategies.
I help clients explore the emotional and behavioural patterns surrounding gambling, including triggers, urges, beliefs about gambling, stress, and its impact on relationships or finances. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening motivation for change, developing alternative coping strategies, and building healthier routines. Specialized addiction support can be incorporated when necessary.

Surrey is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous and rapidly growing cities, with a large and diverse immigrant population — particularly from South Asia, the Philippines, and East Africa — creating strong demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists who understand the pressures of settlement, family expectations, and bicultural identity. The city faces significant challenges around substance use, gang-related trauma, and concentrated poverty in some neighbourhoods, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery and community mental health serve an important role. Surrey Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, with a growing private therapy community reflecting the city's expanding population. Many Surrey residents access care through the wider Metro Vancouver ecosystem via transit and telehealth.
