Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Many of the adults I work with feel stuck in patterns shaped by complex trauma and early relationships. You may notice this showing up as persistent anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or relationship cycles that feel difficult to break—even when you intellectually understand them.
Together, we gently explore the roots of these patterns and how they developed. As these survival strategies begin to make sense, you can move toward a greater sense of clarity, internal stability, and a more compassionate way of relating to yourself and others.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Now accepting new clients. Feeling stuck and alone? Life can be just hard. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling all kinds of feelings and we don't know what to do about it - we feel utterly alone and lost. I would love to support you to find a path forward and move more easily and authentically through life. I've helped people like you find a path through: anxiety, ADHD, trauma, emotion dysregulation, depression, insecure attachment patterns, and all kinds of life changes. My favourite part of this process is helping you see your situation differently, because once that happens things can get so much better.

Marlene Taube-Schiff
Psychologist, PhD, C. Psych., R.Psych.
My practice, Forward Thinking Psychological Services, provides clients with the skills and tools they need to move ahead in their lives and achieve their goals, despite the distress they may experience. We deliver scientifically-supported treatments for obsessive compulsive and related disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, as well as a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems.
I have worked with clients in both outpatient and inpatient hospital settings and currently oversee clinical services within a hospital setting as well.
Our work is evidence-based, collaborative and values-based – ensuring that every client is a major participant in their treatment and is able to “take the reins” and become their own therapist over time.

Nexus Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, Candace Marshall MA, CCC
Being in the nexus of something means you are right in the middle of it hence, easy to feel overwhelmed by the multitude of things coming at you. At Nexus, I will work with you within the context of a nonjudgmental, collaborative and healing therapeutic relationship to parse out and clearly see the interwoven links and connections that contribute to how you experience, perceive and interpret life's challenges, difficulties and obstacles. Understanding these connections allows for the separation of what is important to you and focus on your goal(s) to improve your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
While I work with clients from all walks of life with varied life issues & psychological disorders, my clinical work is largely focused on working with clients affected by Dissociative Disorders and PTSD. Since graduating in 2013, I have accumulated over 10,000 clinical hours with this population & work using range of approaches depending on client needs.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stretched thin. I provide a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy can help uncover the ways we have been coping and the patterns of behaviour that we continue to use.
I work with people who are struggling with trauma, including sexual assault, childhood abuse and family estrangement. I also work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship concerns, chronic illness/chronic pain, issues with self-worth and grief/loss. I also hold space for individuals who are going through all the life transitions that we go through from our late teens to 40s.
I believe healing happens through connection and safety. Together, we’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you—especially those formed early in life. By understanding their roots, you can begin to reconnect with your authentic self and your body’s wisdom. My approach is warm, collaborative and honest. I am genuinely interested in what is going on for my clients and will wade through the messiness that is life with you.
In our work together, I focus on the mind-body connection within a trauma-informed, client-centred space. We’ll process experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, supporting meaningful, lasting change. I pull from Adlerian Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR and somatic approaches to understand my client’s world.
If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to take the next step toward your growth and well-being, reach out to book a free consultation or initial session. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your healing journey.

Abby Rizzolo
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Nothing is too big or too small for the therapy room. The parts of ourself that we hold tightly, wanting to avoid or keep hidden, are less scary when we find a safe place to slowly unravel them. When you're feeling stuck, confused, or tired of repeating the same patterns, therapy can be a pathway for change. I help clients navigate the ups and downs of life, explore relationship patterns, and unravel difficult thoughts, feelings, and memories. Common reasons people come to me for counselling are anxiety, life stress, trauma, attachment wounds, queer experiences, and relationships. I offer individual, relationship, and family counselling for folks of all different backgrounds, beliefs, genders, identities, and ages (17+).

Melanie Brooks
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Student - Associate Therapist
I believe people are often more resilient than they realize. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, self-image issues, loss or grief, or big life changes, let's talk. We can meet in a collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can show up in whatever way feels comfortable to you. If you're not sure about therapy, you can give it a try without worrying if you need to commit. Let's give you a chance to see if it feels right for you.
Whether you're experiencing high-pressure situations, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, and personal setbacks. I have also worked closely with neurodivergent individuals who often feel misunderstood or unsupported by the world around them. Even people who are finding that life is just hard also need someone to hear them out. It can feel powerful when you're heard, understood, and supported - this is my goal when working with individuals and couples.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
I am a trauma-informed, somatic, intuitive therapist supporting women, individuals, and couples - who are seeking deeper, root-cause healing for emotional, relational, and spiritual concerns. I often work with highly sensitive, empathic, intuitive, or neurodivergent clients, including mothers, caregivers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals in helping roles, demanding careers, or leadership positions. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, spiritual exploration, or periods of personal transformation. My approach integrates somatic work, compassionate and empowering talk therapy, nervous system healing, inner child work, energy healing, and more, to help you move beyond symptom relief toward greater inner safety, self-trust, and authenticity, and mind-body-spirit health and wellbeing.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
I know firsthand what it is like to live, move, and survive in a world that was simply not built with our bodies or identities in mind. As a blind therapist with low vision, my practice is informed by a heightened sensory and energetic attunement to movement, vocal expression, and the felt sense of what passes between us online. As a trans, queer, genderflux femme (she/they), I am deeply committed to providing accessible, non-gatekeeping care that actively welcomes your gender euphoria alongside your systemic exhaustion.
In this online therapy space, the burden of translation is completely removed from your shoulders. You do not have to spend our time explaining or justifying the daily impacts of ableism, transphobia, or marginalization; you are met exactly where you are with an immediate, shared resonance. We will work at a pace that respects your boundaries, allowing you to safely unpack your burdens and build a deeper, kinder relationship with your own body. For local clients in the Vancouver area, we can also explore moving our therapy outdoors for walk-and-talk sessions once we have firmly established our therapeutic foundation and connection.

Insomnia Help Canada
Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
After over 20 years of struggling with insomnia, I discovered that there IS a safe, long-lasting strategy that's more effective than sleep meds in the long run. It profoundly changed my life. Now my passion in life is helping others reclaim their lives with better sleep.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from forcing or fixing yourself, it comes from understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to work with your mind and body, rather than against them. In my work as a clinical hypnotherapist, I often meet people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, or self-doubt. These patterns can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve “tried everything” to change them. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that real, lasting change happens when we gently access the deeper parts of the mind where these patterns are held. This is where hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective; supporting you to shift not just how you think, but how you feel, respond, and experience yourself day to day.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we believe that healing is not something a therapist does to a client, but something that emerges from the quality of the relationship between them. Grounded in scientific research, counselling theory, and clinical experience, our approach helps people access their own innate capacity for change, whether they are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, or the weight of emotions that have long felt out of control. We serve individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and life circumstances, and we are committed to creating a space where every person who walks through our doors feels met with genuine empathy, cultural competence, and the kind of non-judgmental presence that makes honest conversation possible. Because we know that no single practitioner can serve all people, our diverse group practice exists to ensure that whoever you are and whatever you are carrying, there is someone here who is the right fit for you.

Nadia Zamzul
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P., LL.M
Frustrated by "talk therapy"? Then, you might not just be looking for a therapist—you’re looking for someone who can help you shift. Let's make sense of what’s happening deeply beneath the surface. I bring a combination of clinical depth, relational attunement, and real-world expertise to my work. With advanced training in relational psychotherapy, somatic approaches, and parts work, I help clients move beyond insight and into meaningful, lasting change.
I specialize in working with high-functioning individuals who feel stuck in patterns around self-worth, relationships, and emotional regulation. My approach is both grounded and intuitive—I don’t just listen, I track what’s happening in your nervous system, your patterns, and your relationships in real time. This allows me to gently challenge what isn’t working while creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and deeply human.

Rebekkah Stainton
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC
You’re smart, driven, and holding it together on the outside... yet your body keeps whispering that something isn’t right. Maybe it’s stress, maybe it’s “just how you are,” or maybe it’s old experiences you’ve spent years outrunning. You live in your head, can push through everything, but still feel stuck and disconnected from yourself in ways you can’t quite explain. My practice specializes in high-functioning women carrying the often-unseen impact of sexual trauma—especially how it shows up in stress, boundaries, relationships, and the pressure to overperform. Using mind–body–emotion integration and grounded, honest conversations, I help you shift out of survival mode and into a way of living that’s sustainable, steady, and actually feels like you.

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.
