Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Trauma and post-traumatic stress can affect emotional safety, relationships, sleep, and the body’s sense of balance. Individuals may experience ongoing fear, emotional overwhelm, intrusive memories, or difficulty feeling grounded in daily life. I offer a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed space where clients can explore these experiences at their own pace.
My approach focuses on stabilization, emotional regulation, and rebuilding a sense of safety within the mind and body. Therapy is gentle and client-led, supporting resilience, self-understanding, and gradual healing while respecting each person’s unique recovery journey.

Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
Trauma counselling here goes at the pace your nervous system can tolerate — trauma's effects are what your system learned to do for protection, and those mechanisms often linger long after the threat has passed, leaving people unable to rest even when nothing is wrong, or unsafe in their own body. I work with both single-event trauma and the kind that accumulates over a childhood, a relationship, or years of discrimination, and the pacing is the same either way: stability first, then slowly stepping into what feels safe at your own pace. Trauma lives in the body as much as in memory, so somatic work — attention to breath, tension, and what your nervous system is doing in the room — is part of how I work, and I check in constantly about pace so you never have to touch anything you don't want to. I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, so if you've tried trauma therapy that pushed too hard too fast, or want to do this work with someone who understands the queer and trans context it happened in, that's what I offer — and I'll use your name and pronouns from our first contact. Sessions are 50 minutes by secure video and for trauma work I recommend starting weekly or every other week; during the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
These days, the word "trauma" seems to be a buzz-word that people are using to describe upsetting experiences, but that is so minimizing. Trauma is REAL and huge and overwhelming. It is having horrific things done to you without your consent, it is being in a life-threatening situation, it is having experiences that no one should ever have and which the brain just cannot process on its own. And then somehow having to live a "normal" life thereafter?! Common feelings are guilt, shame, and continued fear; common behaviours are escape, addictions, perfectionism, inability to manage emotions or deal with certain people ... oh so many! And while you have been harmed, you have not been broken. Let's start putting you back together by processing those events and feelings, reprogramming your brain to think differently about yourself, and learning how to live your life differently, free from the demons of the past.

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.
