Isabelle Tremblay
Life Coach, Isabelle Tremblay is a Purpose, Power & Mindset Coach helping high-achieving women move from burnout
If you’re a high achieving professional feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or disconnected despite your success, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I specialize in burnout recovery, mindset transformation, and purpose driven leadership for ambitious women who are ready to reclaim their energy, confidence, and direction. My approach goes beyond traditional coaching by addressing the root causes of stress, overperformance, and misalignment, helping you create lasting, sustainable change.
With over 20 years of experience in high level executive environments, I understand the pressure to constantly perform, lead, and deliver. I provide a space where you can reset, gain clarity, and rebuild from a place of strength, not exhaustion.
Clients choose to work with me because they are ready for real transformation, not quick fixes. Together, we move you from burnout to clarity, from pressure to purpose, and from success on the outside to fulfillment on the inside.
If you’re ready to feel like yourself again and lead your life with intention and confidence, I invite you to reach out.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
What if the way you see yourself isn’t the truth—but a story shaped by past wounds?
Our sense of self is shaped by early experiences, especially in relationships. If you grew up feeling unseen, unsafe, or unworthy, those feelings don’t just fade—they shape your choices, beliefs, and relationships. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. These patterns didn’t come from nowhere—they were ways your mind and body learned to cope. But they don’t have to define you.
Healing is possible. Using a relational, trauma-informed approach rooted in attachment theory, complex PTSD recovery, and memory reconsolidation, I help people rewrite the beliefs that keep them stuck. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s "wrong"—it’s about understanding and transforming the impact of what’s happened to you.
Together, we’ll explore the deeper patterns shaping your life, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion—not just managing symptoms, but truly healing at the core.
You deserve to feel safe, connected, and whole. If this resonates with you, let’s talk. Book a free consultation today.

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.

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+).

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
My approach is compassionate, intuitive, and grounded in the deep knowing that healing is possible—because I’ve lived it. Everything I offer is rooted in what has personally helped me heal complex trauma and reconnect with my True Self. I blend Internal Family Systems (IFS) with somatic practices to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to shift out of survival mode. I know there is so much more to life than just getting by—and if you're ready to experience that for yourself, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

I hold space for the full range of your experience—without judgment—and tailor our work to what feels most supportive and effective for you. Healing, to me, is not just personal—it’s also a step toward creating a more compassionate world.

In my work, I believe you are the expert in your own life. I offer the space and support to help you explore deep insight into your strengths, your needs, and what matters most to you. Through my own lived experience, I understand what it can feel like to start over as a newcomer in a foreign place.

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Do you find yourself getting overwhelmed and overstimulated easily? Tend to overthink or feel anxious? Or perhaps you’ve been called “too sensitive” or emotional? Have you ever noticed that you take longer to process things, and need more downtime than others? If any of this resonates, you, like myself, might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and I’m so glad you’re here.
I understand how it feels to process things more deeply, to have a strong desire for purpose and meaning in the world and to connect to a spiritual practice. My mission is to help guide other sensitive souls embrace their sensitivity as a gift, and to step into their most authentic, confident and aligned version of themselves. I want to help you work with it rather than against it. I provide counselling for individuals and couples with a wide range of challenges including: anxiety, depression, healing trauma, relationship difficulties, spiritual/religious exploration, emotional regulation, life transitions, self esteem/self worth, disordered eating, personal growth and struggles related to neurodivergence (HSP, Autism, ASHD). We all need someone who embodies the phrase, “I see you, and I care”, and I’m honoured to have the opportunity to be that for my clients. Your inner experience matters.
I believe the world is a better place when more deep feeling, sensitive people feel comfortable and safe in their skin and I can’t wait to support you in this process. This work takes courage, trust and commitment, but you don’t have to do it alone. 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 offer in person, online and walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you.

I offer a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where I meet you where you’re at, honour your pacing, and support you in exploring small, sustainable shifts that create meaningful change.

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.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
If you're looking for long lasting change and finally breaking patterns, I'd love to support you. "Somatic counselling with Fiona is bringing change to my life in a powerful and profound way. I can't explain what exactly is happening inside me, it isn't the work I'm used to doing in counselling, and yet when the connection happens and release comes I feel like I have unloaded years worth of heavy emotions. My life is naturally shifting in ways that I never imagined possible, my body has started to process emotion differently, I am thinking about life differently, and I feel powerful. I am shifting in ways that I never imagined."

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.

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.
