I have over 10 years experience seeing clients with mild to severe depression, anxiety, OCD, chronic pain and health issues, and high-conflict relationships.

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.

Rainforest Reiki and Meditation
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Are you carrying anxiety that feels impossible to quiet? Do you experience racing thoughts that keep you from resting? A heavy sense of overwhelm that makes it hard to relax or sleep? Whether these feelings are new or chronic, you don’t have to hold them alone. In the midst of so much noise and pressure in our environment, your mind, body, and spirit deserve to be a place of return — a quiet clearing where you can breathe, and find your way back to yourself. My work is rooted in deep empathy and presence. Together we move at your pace, gently uncovering the resources that will support your work. Whether you’re navigating current stressors or curious to make sense the past and it's influence on your present; this is a space where you can unravel what feels tangled. Here you can come home to resilience, calm and clarity. You are welcome here.

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.

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.

Alex Henderson
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, B.A
While my primary focus as a therapist to support and counsel, I always strive to achieve these goals by being a real person. I work hard to balance accountability, respect, humour and healing so that therapy can be something that we look forward to. I want to remove as much of the fluff from the therapeutic process and work as much honesty and integrity as possible and that is something that is reflected and felt in our sessions. I work with and affirm folks from all walks of life and from all identities as long as there is a willingness to show up.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
Personally, I understand what it is like to grow up in a difficult family which resulted in much trauma. As a young adult, I made a series of problematic choices which included abusive relationships, alcohol and drug abuse, and general neglect of myself. I realized that my trauma was not my fault but healing from it, so that I no longer suffered and passed that suffering onto others, was my responsibility. My wellness journey has been long and hard fought, and continues today and will forever more. The work is necessary, as all healing is possible. My hope is to share both my personal and professional knowledge and experiences with others to help guide them on their own journeys towards their own healing.

Suzanne Nievaart
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
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. I hope to support you as you are rebuilding a sense of identity, belonging, and stability, and hold awareness of the many expectations placed on women in our society, especially when navigating work, caregiving, and life transitions.

Adam Manz
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Life can sometimes feel like you’re running in circles—facing patterns that are hard to break, struggling with worry, self-doubt, or lingering effects from past experiences. You may notice tension in your relationships, challenges with communication, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. I provide a supportive space to slow down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and build practical strategies to help you feel more grounded, capable, and present in your daily life.
Clients often describe a sense of relief and renewed hope after beginning therapy. Many report increased self-awareness, steadiness, and confidence in handling difficult emotions or life transitions. My work focuses on helping you take small, meaningful steps toward lasting change while developing tools that support long-term growth.
I use a collaborative, evidence-informed approach that integrates nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and attachment-focused insights. Together, we’ll explore both practical solutions and deeper understanding, creating a path toward greater resilience, clarity, and fulfillment.
When you’re ready, I offer a free initial consultation to help you determine whether my approach aligns with your needs.

Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
I believe therapy should make room for the full context of our lives, including the experiences, relationships, and systems that shape us. My approach is grounded in social justice and a commitment to affirming care. I work collaboratively and relationally, drawing on experiential and somatic approaches to help clients explore their experiences, better understand themselves, and process trauma.
My work is primarily trauma-focused, integrating EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic regulation techniques. Our work can include exploration, curiosity, and making sense of your experiences, alongside deeper trauma work when you're ready. I have a strong focus on concussion recovery and a particular interest in supporting People of the Global Majority, 2SLGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folks, people living with chronic illness and disability, and frontline healthcare professionals. I also offer direct billing to ICBC for eligible counselling sessions.
I offer online counselling through a secure video platform.

Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
You may/or may not understand what happened to you, and may still feel that in your body or show up in your experiences. Anxiety, overwhelm, relational issues, shutdown, tension, pain, or reactions that seem bigger that the moment can all leave you to wondering why you can't simply "move on." I work with the nervous system, body, mind and emotions to help you understand what your system has been carrying and support meaningful, sustainable change.
My work is especially suited to adults navigating trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, relational issues, highly sensitive people, and nervous system dysregulation. As a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, I take a holistic, integrative approach tailored to the person in front of me-not a one-size-fits-all formula.
Healing starts with the relationship we have with ourselves, and I am here to guide your on your journey of self-exploration. I look forward to working with you.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, respected, and able to be yourself. My style is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative, with space for both reflection and honest conversation. I don’t see people as problems to be fixed; I’m interested in understanding how your experiences have shaped the ways you protect yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. Together, we can slow things down, notice what’s happening beneath the surface, and make room for changes that feel meaningful and sustainable. I bring mindfulness, somatic awareness, and parts work into sessions, while adapting the process to who you are and what feels most useful to you.

Transversality Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors
At Transversality Counselling, we believe therapy is not about fixing what’s broken but about making room for what’s human.
We work from a trauma-informed, relational, feminist, and decolonial lens — always holding in mind that healing doesn’t happen in a straight line. It moves across languages, histories, relationships, and identities.
We offer individual, couples, and group counselling, as well as clinical supervision.
Our work is guided by compassion, cultural awareness, and respect for each person’s pace. Whether you are navigating trauma, grief, identity, or change, we meet you where you are — in English or Spanish — with care and curiosity.

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.

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.
