Licensed Clinical Social Worker, RSW, MA
Chronic stress can make parenting feel like a never-ending series of emergencies. Whether it’s decision fatigue, constant multitasking, or the invisible mental load, the demands of raising children—especially as a new parent, but not only—can take a serious toll. I help parents pause, reset, and take back a sense of control. Together, we explore what’s fueling your stress and develop realistic, sustainable tools to bring more calm into your daily life. We also focus on building in self-care—not as a luxury, but as a necessity—so you can show up for your children without losing yourself in the process.

Stress
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Chronic stress often isn't just about having too much on your plate—it's also about the invisible emotional burdens you're carrying underneath. Many people find themselves stuck in high-alert, people-pleasing, or perfectionistic modes without realizing these patterns were once essential for safety, connection, or approval. In our work together, we look beyond surface-level stress management techniques to understand what your stress is trying to protect you from. Through experiential therapy and memory reconsolidation, we gently access and update the emotional learning behind these patterns so that your nervous system can finally feel safe enough to let go. As a result, stress becomes something you can respond to with more flexibility, clarity, and resilience—not something that controls your every move.

Stress
Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Stress is a sign your system is working overtime—and it’s asking for support, not more pressure.
When life feels like too much and you’re constantly on edge, it’s often because parts of you are stuck in survival mode. Chronic stress can disconnect you from your body, drain your energy, and leave you feeling like you're just getting through the day. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic tools like TRE to help you understand the deeper layers beneath your stress and bring your nervous system back into balance. Together, we’ll create space for calm, clarity, and resilience—so you can move through life with more ease and intention.

Stress
Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
We live in a particularly stressful moment in time, where many people are experiencing stress in multiple areas of their lives including, work, finances, family, and friendships. While stress is unavoidable, our reactions to our stressors can sometimes enhance the suffering we experience or the amount stress interferes in our lives. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we will work on identifying your stressors and see if there are ways to change or manage your stressors in line with what is important to you in your life. If the stressors can't be altered, we will work on building skills to help you manage your reaction to the stressors and decrease your suffering.

Stress
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Stress can build up over time or feel sudden and overwhelming, affecting both your mind and body. You might notice constant tension, irritability, racing thoughts, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or feeling like you’re unable to fully relax. When stress becomes chronic, it can start to impact sleep, relationships, and your overall sense of wellbeing, leaving you feeling depleted or stuck in survival mode. This can eventually lead to burnout.
In our work together, we’ll explore what is contributing to your stress and how it is showing up in your nervous system and daily life. Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, we’ll also look at the deeper patterns, pressures, and experiences that may be keeping your system activated. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll support you in developing greater nervous system regulation, balance, and capacity to respond to stress.
I draw from approaches such as ACT, IFS, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices. Together, we’ll focus on practical tools for grounding and coping, while also supporting longer-term change in how you relate to pressure, rest, and self-care.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Stress can feel overwhelming, constant, and exhausting - affecting your mind, body, and daily life.

Stress
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Chronic stress is often a sign that your internal system has been locked in a state of 'high alert' for too long. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in mental health and addiction, I help you move beyond surface-level relaxation techniques to address the root of your overwhelm.
Using a Parts Work lens, we identify the 'manager' parts of your system that feel responsible for holding everything together and prevent you from truly resting. We work together to create the internal safety needed for your nervous system to downregulate and stabilize. My goal is to help you shift from a life of constant 'doing' to a state of grounded presence, where you can navigate life’s demands without losing your sense of self.

Stress
Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Stress can show up as feeling constantly overwhelmed, mentally overloaded, feeling shutdown, emotionally drained, burnt out, or caught in a state of “always needing to do more.” You may notice tension in your body, racing thoughts, difficulty resting or sleeping, or carrying pressure to keep everything under control. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to help release the deeper roots of chronic stress patterns. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that supports your body and mind in finding greater regulation, balance, and inner ease as you move through life.

Stress
Rebekkah Stainton
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC
Your mind runs at high speed—analyzing, planning, preparing for every possible scenario. Sometimes that mental energy serves you well, but when chronic stress takes over, it can leave you feeling wired and tired at the same time.
In today’s world, stress is unavoidable. While stress itself is not inherently negative, it can become a problem when it gets out of control and even contribute to an overwhelming feeling of anxiety.
Whether you're dealing with ongoing burnout, sudden panic attacks, or that constant background hum of anxiety, we work with both your thinking brain and your nervous system to create real relief. This isn't about managing symptoms—it's about understanding why your system gets activated and developing tools that work with your body's natural responses.
You'll learn to recognize the early signals before stress overwhelms you and develop practical strategies that integrate both cognitive and somatic approaches to help you feel genuinely calm, not just temporarily distracted.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCC
Stress counselling provides a safe and relaxed environment to reflect on your life's challenges. When things feel overwhelming, it's good to work with someone who creates a supportive space to figure out what is draining you and how it is impacting your body. I use mindfulness and somatic tools, as well as addressing self-care and self-compassion in this work. I specialize in burnout prevention and strive to help my clients live more authentically and get out of "survival mode".

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.
