Anxiety or Fears
Jasmine Gill Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Fear is an adaptive response to an environment, and an internal nervous system, that feels threatened and unsafe. Through this lens, we work to understand why fear is present, what fear has been protecting us from feeling, and explore the importance of safety before ever releasing the fear. We'll work with your body and the ways you have been adapting to keeping safe to better understand the mechanisms that are keeping you stuck in feeling afraid and anxious.

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.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I have worked extensively with anxiety and have had my own struggles with it. I have found that it is not about making the anxiety go away, but more in learning how to relate to it differently and be able to tolerate it. Anxieties can also just continue to switch form and we end up playing whack a mole, so it is important to get to what the core fear is that is driving it.

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.

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.

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.

Anxiety or Fears
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life can often feel overwhelming, leaving us with intense feelings of anxiety and fear. It can show up in many forms—persistent worrying, racing thoughts, perfectionism, irritability, or a constant sense of being on edge. Many people with anxiety appear like they have it all together on the outside while feeling exhausted internally.
In our work together, we’ll gently explore the patterns that drive your anxiety—not just managing symptoms, but understanding where they come from and what they’ve been trying to protect. My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused, supporting both your thoughts and your nervous system to foster a deeper sense of calm, self-trust, and internal safety.
I draw from a range of approaches, including ACT, Adlerian Therapy, IFS, Mindfulness-Based CBT, ERP, and EMDR, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll build practical tools that feel realistic and supportive in your day-to-day life, while also creating space for deeper healing.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to learn more about my approach and see if we’re a good fit.

Anxiety or Fears
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.

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.

Anxiety or Fears
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.

Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
Rather than focusing only on thoughts, we work with the nervous system—helping your body learn what safety feels like again. Together, we explore how anxiety shows up for you and build practical tools to support regulation, resilience, and a greater sense of ease. Over time, this allows fear to feel less overwhelming and more workable.

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.

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.

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.
