Anxiety
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.

Lisa Willow
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider
Anxiety often accompanies ADHD. When we struggle with ADHD we can become afraid of failure, and struggle with anxiety related to social situations, relationships, work, and school. Anxiety often shows up as "what if...." Our brains imagine fearful scenarious in the future which keep our nervous systems locked into fight or flight mode perpetuating our anxiety. Learning skills, tools, and self regulation techniques can help us in managing our anxieties. I offer CBT for anxiety along with somatic excerices to help with anxiety managment.

Chris Graham
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist
While anxiety can help to keep us safe, it can hold us back from living the fulfilling lives that we deserve. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can offer the perfect setting in which to learn new ways of being - where anxiety can begin to lose the power it holds over us.

Aliya Amarshi
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a messenger. In therapy, we work to understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from, using somatic calming strategies, IFS, and grounded presence to bring relief, insight, and new ways of relating to fear and uncertainty.

Insomnia Help Canada
Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Anxiety and depression can cause or worsen insomnia. But it's important to know that insomnia is often the CAUSE of (or at least a contributor to) anxiety and depression. Gaining concrete strategies to improve all the factors impacting sleep can go a long way to ending the vicious cycle of chronic insomnia.
I also love helping people with anxiety, whether it's sleep-related or not - for example, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety - and of course the anxiety about sleep that's like pouring fuel on the flame.

Anxiety
Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
Everyone experiences anxiety. It can actually be quite helpful, motivating us to do things that are important to us, or letting us know of potential danger. Anxiety becomes problematic when we're afraid of things that aren't actually dangerous, or when our anxiety stops us from doing things that are important to us. The good news is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for anxiety disorders are among the most successful treatments we have in psychology. They work by teaching you how to accurately evaluate your anxiety triggers to tell if your anxiety reaction is justified or not. If your anxiety reaction doesn't match the threat, you learn skills to help you act more effectively, and manage your emotional reaction in the moment.

Tanya Master | Online Somatic & Psychosomatic Consulting

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
Anxiety and fear can derail us from the lives we want to have and keep us stuck in holding patterns. I help clients not only manage their anxiety better, but uncover the 'why' towards chronic conditions that may be signals from the unconscious towards unmet wants and needs. Incorporating a neuroscience-based perspective that includes experiential focus on the mind-body connection, we can charter a path to more freedom in your dialy life.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Anxiety often develops as a protective response—our mind and body trying to keep us safe in ways that once made sense, even if they feel overwhelming or confusing now. Rather than seeing anxiety as something "wrong" that needs to be fixed, I help clients explore the emotional roots beneath it with curiosity and compassion. Through experiential therapies and memory reconsolidation, we can begin to uncover the unresolved emotional learnings and implicit beliefs that keep the nervous system on high alert. As those old patterns shift, many people find their anxiety softening—not because they’ve learned to "manage" it, but because their system no longer needs to sound the alarm.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Anxiety is exhausting in a way that's hard to explain to people who haven't felt it. Your mind is working overtime, your body is braced for something, and no matter how much you try to think your way out of it, it keeps coming back. I work with people to understand what's driving the anxiety beneath the surface, so we can address the root rather than just turn the volume down temporarily.

Anna Kiseleva
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Anxiety is something that everyone is familiar with. But when it becomes an overconsuming, uncontrollable, paralyzing, gut-wrenching and exhausting experience in your life, you know that something needs to change but you are not sure how. You do not have to “suffer through it” or “wait till it passes”. Various psychotherapy approaches have shown to be effective when dealing with anxiety and it is an issue that I work with the most. Please feel free to reach out to find out how I can help you today.

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.

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and fear you're not alone…
Therapy can be a powerful tool to help you navigate it. Anxiety can make us feel like we don’t have any control over our thoughts or emotions, and I want to help you regain a sense of control and empower you to take on the challenges of life. An important part of therapy is learning how to challenge patterns of negative thinking and respond to yourself in a compassionate way. Using a holistic approach, I combine cognitive, somatic and mindfulness based tools and techniques to help you feel more centered and grounded. If you’re ready to get curious about your inner world, and to start focusing your energy on your own well-being and healing, head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation. I would love to hear from you.

Anxiety
Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Anxiety often has roots that go back further than we realize. For many, it developed as a way of staying alert to someone else's moods or needs, long before we had words for what was happening. I help clients understand where their anxiety comes from and find a steadier, more grounded way of moving through the world.

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
I help clients address anxiety and fears by using EMDR to gently process the experiences and memories that contribute to ongoing worry or panic. This approach allows your brain to reframe and release the intensity of these emotions, helping you feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to face daily challenges with confidence and ease.

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 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.
