Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Persistent anxiety or fears are not internal defects; they are frequently highly intelligent, protective responses from a nervous system trying its best to maintain safety in an unyielding world. From my online therapy practice based in Vancouver, I provide a compassionate, unhurried space to track these somatic cues without forcing you to simply modify yourself to fit harmful or overwhelming environments. Utilizing deep sensory attunement and neurobiological awareness, I help you safely shift out of chronic hypervigilance into a felt sense of internal safety and self-compassion.

Mikyla Bergman
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Anxiety has increased in its impacts on our society, especially among the younger generation leading me to deepen my understanding of anxiety’s effect on thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being. My counseling approach is designed to create a supportive and versatile space, recognizing the challenges and triggers that come with anxiety. Sessions focus on developing coping strategies, emotional regulation, and practical life skills to help manage stress and regain a sense of balance. Whether you’re looking to better understand your anxiety, build resilience, or develop tools to navigate daily challenges, I’m here to support you with compassion and evidence-based strategies.
Anxiety is far reaching and I aim to work alongside you to minimize the impact on emotional regulation, heightened stress responses, avoidance behaviors, and difficulty managing uncertainty. I also focus on the physical manifest as restlessness, fatigue, tension, or even panic, affecting overall well-being and daily functioning.

Together, we'll set clear, achievable goals and identify your strengths and internal resources.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
I work with women who experience chronic anxiety, worry, or persistent fears that feel hard to manage alone. Many are highly sensitive or high functioning on the outside while feeling tense, overwhelmed, burnt out, or on edge internally. Using a trauma informed and somatic approach, we address the nervous system patterns beneath the anxiety rather than just managing symptoms. The goal is to help you feel safer in your body, more regulated, and more trusting of yourself.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Anxiety isn’t who you are—it’s a part of you trying to keep you safe.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts, constant worry, or fear that won’t let go, it can be exhausting. Anxiety often comes from parts of us that learned to stay hyper-alert to avoid pain or danger. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic practices like TRE, I help you gently connect with these protective parts and the deeper wounds they may be guarding. Together, we’ll create space for calm, clarity, and a deeper sense of internal safety—so you can move through life with more ease and trust.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Anxiety is rarely just about the future; it is often a 'part' of your system that has become stuck in a state of high alert to keep you safe. With over 15 years of clinical experience in high-intensity mental health settings, I understand that 'just relaxing' isn't enough when your nervous system feels under threat.
My approach combines practical CBT stabilization tools for immediate relief with a deeper exploration of the early patterns that keep your anxiety on loop. By helping these protective parts of you feel truly secure, we work to lower your baseline of fear, moving you from a state of constant 'what-ifs' into a grounded sense of calm and clarity.

Abby Rizzolo
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Much of my work with clients is around anxiety and deep-rooted fears. I believe the more we avoid a feeling, the scarier it feels. I work with clients to slowly get to know those uncomfortable emotions and maybe even shift our relationship with them, using things like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and somatic techniques that tune into our nervous system.

Daniel Keith McMath
Life Coach, PCC, MPCC
You may look like you’re holding it together—but internally there’s tension, overthinking, or a constant sense of pressure. Anxiety often isn’t random. It’s connected to deeper patterns, beliefs, and unresolved experiences. We work to understand what’s driving it, so you can move from managing symptoms to creating real calm, clarity, and control.

David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Anxiety can feel exhausting, especially when your mind never fully slows down. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, expecting the worst, struggling to relax, or feeling emotionally drained from constantly trying to hold everything together on your own. Anxiety can also affect relationships, sleep, confidence, decision-making, and your ability to feel fully present in everyday life.
I aim to create a calm and supportive space where you can speak openly about what you’re experiencing without feeling judged, rushed, or pressured to have everything figured out right away. Together, we can explore the stress, fears, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck while working toward healthier coping strategies, greater self-understanding, and a stronger sense of balance in your day-to-day life.

Adam Manz
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
When anxiety takes over, it can leave you feeling tense, distracted, and disconnected from yourself and others. I offer a supportive space to slow down, tune into your body, and make sense of what drives your worry or fear. Through grounding techniques, self-compassion, and insight into your underlying patterns, you’ll begin to feel more centered, resilient, and capable of facing life’s challenges with greater ease and confidence.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Anxiety can feel like a constant battle through negative thoughts, feelings or body sensations that crowd out other things that are important to us. I can help you untangle your anxiety so you can understand and see it and how it impacts your self view as I find the worst part of anxiety is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and self-blame. My goal is to help you hold all of this and help you find a new path forward.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Anxiety often shows up not only in thoughts, but in the body - through tension, overwhelm, restlessness, overthinking, emotional eating, difficulty slowing down, or feeling constantly “on alert.” My approach combines clinical hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation, and behaviour change support to help clients create greater calm, safety, and emotional balance in a gentle, sustainable way.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large East Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
