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.

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.

Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, DCP(c), RCC
Hi! My name is Yuka (She/Her), and I am glad that you are here.
I am a neurodivergent Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors, a person of colour, and a third culture individual with lived experience navigating neurodivergence. I hold a Master of Counselling degree from Monash University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of British Columbia with a Major in Psychology and a Minor in Law and Society. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Counselling and Psychotherapy degree to further my education, deepen my expertise, and contribute to neurodiversity research and practice.
My personal journey, including undergoing brain surgery and navigating mental health challenges, has fueled my passion for clinical counselling and holistic well-being, encompassing both mind and body. Born in Japan, raised in Singapore, and now living in Canada, I bring a multicultural perspective that honours the intersection of culture, identity, and lived experience in every session.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.

The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.

Alison McKnight
Life Coach, ADHD Coach
I’m a trauma-informed coach who supports ADHDers move forward from a space of shame, overwhelm, and people-pleasing to a more grounded connection with themselves and others. In my work, I weave together nervous-system regulation, body-based awareness, and practical tools for communication, boundaries, and executive functioning. 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.

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.

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.

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.
