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.

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.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
I'm a queer, nonbinary therapist working with adult individual and couples around identity, relationships, sexuality, grief, chronic illness and neurodivergence. My practice draws on IFS, Narrative, Gottman Method, and EFT, with a particular focus on neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Therapy with me tends to feel direct, warm, and paced.

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.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
If you're looking for long lasting change and finally breaking patterns, I'd love to support you. "Somatic counselling with Fiona is bringing change to my life in a powerful and profound way. I can't explain what exactly is happening inside me, it isn't the work I'm used to doing in counselling, and yet when the connection happens and release comes I feel like I have unloaded years worth of heavy emotions. My life is naturally shifting in ways that I never imagined possible, my body has started to process emotion differently, I am thinking about life differently, and I feel powerful. I am shifting in ways that I never imagined."

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.

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.
