Stress
Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, DCP(c), RCC

I support adults in understanding what is contributing to their stress, reducing overwhelm, setting healthier boundaries, and developing realistic coping strategies that fit their 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.

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".

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
Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Everyone has stress, which means it can be easy to dismiss what's actually happening when it becomes chronic. I work with clients who are running on empty, carrying too much, and finding that the usual strategies have stopped working. Often stress is a signal worth listening to rather than just managing down, and that's where we tend to start.

Insomnia Help Canada
Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
When stress is keeping you awake at night, it can fuel a vicious cycle: lack of sleep makes it hard to function and get on top of life's stressors. This, of course, leads to anxiety about sleep and worse insomnia. I love teaching people concrete strategies for managing the stress that often causes poor sleep.

Stress
Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Chronic stress is frequently framed as an individual failure of time management, completely ignoring the systemic exhaustion born from navigating everyday oppression and institutional barriers. My online practice in BC rejects the capitalist pressure to just optimize your productivity; instead, we focus on deep nervous system awareness and decolonizing your relationship to rest. I will support you in slowing down to listen to your body’s signals, creating space to safely discharge accumulated tension.

Stress
Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Stress can feel overwhelming, constant, and exhausting - affecting your mind, body, and daily life. Clinical hypnotherapy offers a gentle, evidence-based approach to help you manage stress more effectively. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state, hypnotherapy allows your mind and body to shift out of the cycle of tension, worry, and overthinking. Our work together can help you identify and release the patterns that trigger stress, improve emotional regulation, and develop practical tools to cope with challenging situations. Many clients find that hypnotherapy not only reduces immediate feelings of stress but also helps create lasting resilience, calm, and clarity, so you can respond to life’s demands with greater ease and confidence.

Stress
David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Stress can build slowly over time until it feels like you’re constantly tense, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unable to switch off properly. Work, relationships, family responsibilities, uncertainty, and the pressure to keep everything together can leave you feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted without even realizing how much you’ve been carrying.
I offer a calm and supportive space where you can slow things down, speak openly about what’s weighing on you, and better understand the pressures affecting your well-being. Together, we can work toward finding healthier ways to manage stress, create balance, and help you feel more grounded in your everyday life.

Stress
Anna Vaisser Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, MEd, RCC
Stress can build quietly or all at once, leaving your mind tense, your body on alert, and your capacity stretched thin. In therapy, I help you understand your stress responses through both a cognitive and somatic lens—how your nervous system reacts, how patterns form, and how they can be gently reshaped. Using mindfulness‑based practices, body‑focused therapies, parts work, CBT, and neuropsychological insight, we strengthen your ability to self‑regulate and create more internal space. My aim is to help you feel steadier, more grounded, and more able to meet challenges without becoming overwhelmed.

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.
