Depression Therapists in North Vancouver, BC
The heart of therapy is in identifying which routes are taking you off course and making the adjustments needed for a smoother journey.
Ever feel like you're wandering without a map? Figuring yourself out can feel like an unpredictable journey, but with the right support, it can lead to real clarity and lasting change. If you’re feeling stuck—overwhelmed by patterns of anxiety, struggling with self-doubt, or weighed down by past experiences—you’re not alone. Maybe you're ready to break free from these cycles but you don't quite know where to start. You want to feel more in control of your emotions, build confidence, and create meaningful relationships, but the path forward isn’t always clear.

"I recommend Olivia Fermi as a counsellor.
I believe in your inner resources to heal and step onto a new path, in your own way, and offer my services in confidence, as a compassionate witness on your journey of healing. During our sessions, I will gently encourage you to be true to yourself and your own direction, especially as you explore unsettling or difficult issues. My training and experience includes both psychological and spiritual dimensions of human growth and potential. Psychology and spirit are deeply connected: I have witnessed my own and others' healing coming through the heart, the body and the spirit.

My approach to counselling is centered on building a genuine and trusting relationship.
My passion lies in helping my clients navigate their unique personal struggles and the impact of larger harmful or limiting social norms. I am deeply curious about my clients’ journey, and committed to guiding them towards self-discovery, stronger interpersonal connections, and realizing their goals and potential. I achieve this by offering valuable insights, reflections, and practical tools. Furthermore, sessions become an important place to practice the skills that you'd like to take forward into your life. Our time together is an opportunity to slow down, consider, and deeply feel things.

During sessions, sometimes we will focus on finding practical resolutions to immediate issues, sometimes we might revisit formative memories from the past.
Hello and welcome, My name is Nazanin Moghadami and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, activist and community organizer practising in the so-called British Columbia. My approach to counselling is shaped by my experiences as a queer, BIPOC, immigrant woman, and is strongly rooted in feminist, anti-oppression and justice oriented framework. We will explore how the patterns we learned and created as children show up in our adult lives and the way they might have strayed from their initial purposes. My approach is collaborative and consent-based. I have training in: EMDR, Hakomi, CBT, Focusing, IFS, Narrative and more.

One of the great therapists of the last 50 years, Irvin Yalom, wrote that "the relationship is the therapy.
My fundamental orientation to counselling is existential. At its heart, this approach doesn't distinguish between cognitions (thinking) and affect (feeling) and the somatic (body). Instead, it (and I) attempt to make contact with the whole of one's being. After all, we don't refer to ourselves as "human brains" or "human bodies" but as human beings. This is why talk therapy participates in healing the body, but it also explains why attention to the body can help heal what we generally call mental illness. And in the midst of it all, feelings are the endlessly rich source of information that help connect thinking to the body.

Hunting for a therapist is hard! All those headshots & therapy jargon.
Your body and mind communicate clearly when something has been overwhelming. So many experiences can knock you off kilter and make it hard to feel your genuine self. You have likely landed here because your symptoms have become intrusive. Anxiety, panic attacks and anger are hard to ignore but what about the more subtle signs? Strained relationships, feeling numb, avoidance, dissociation, disconnection and irritability also have a huge impact in your life.
