Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Parenting is one of the most difficult, demanding, all-consuming jobs there is. Often, people have had adequate or less than adequate examples of how to be a parent. I work with parents who are struggling with holding on to their identity and sanity while being full-time caregivers. I especially enjoy working with parents of teenagers who are struggling with connecting and communicating with their almost-adult children.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Effective parenting begins with our own internal stability. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in mental health and trauma, I help parents move beyond traditional discipline strategies to focus on the heart of the matter: forming a secure attachment with their children.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore how your own history and 'inner child' may be triggered by your children's behavior. By healing those internal wounds, you can show up with more patience, clarity, and presence. My goal is to support you in breaking old cycles and building a relational foundation that allows both you and your child to feel safe, seen, and truly connected.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Parenting can bring enormous love and meaning, while also stirring up stress, self-doubt, frustration, guilt, and old patterns from your own upbringing. You may find yourself reacting in ways you don’t fully understand, struggling to balance your child’s needs with your own, or worrying that you’re getting it wrong. I offer a supportive space to slow things down, understand what gets activated in you as a parent, and respond with greater awareness and intention. Using mindfulness, relational awareness, attachment theory and a compassionate exploration of family patterns, we can help you build more trust in yourself and create a more connected relationship with your child.

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.
