Grief Therapists in North Vancouver, BC

For the past 25 years as a therapist and Registered Clinical Counsellor, my work with individuals and groups has been focused predominantly on grief and loss, relationship issues, depression, anxiety and trauma. My work combines my own personal development, lessons my clients have taught me, my education and professional development trainings in Trauma Recovery, Sensorimotor Processing, Somatic techniques, CBT and Psychodynamic therapy. I have a passion for helping individuals heal difficult emotions and find a way to create a life they love and be the person they admire.

I imagine my client with their therapist as pioneers in their journey. Whether it is grief, transition, relationships or trauma. As pioneers, we explore, travel, and come to discovery. This discovery may help an individual to work on goals, their growth, treatment and healing. This self discovery is simply facilitated by the therapist and lead by the client.

Thank you for taking the time to explore the possibility of working together. I am a Registered Psychologist with interest in supporting positive change, well-being, and mindful living. My area of specialty and interest is working with adults and teens in dealing with stress, anxiety, life transitions, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and grief. Clients have described my approach as compassionate, positive, strength-based, effective, empowering, and collaborative. I use various evidence-based and empirically validated approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Humanistic Therapy.

My passion is to help you awaken joy and enliven your life! If you experience depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, grief/loss, or financial/career stress, then feeling good can be very hard. Healing is often in deepening our connections to ourselves, nature, and others, therefore, I work with you to find clarity and understanding and ultimately to build a positive, compassionate relationship to your self. My sessions are warm and welcoming and tailored to support your specific needs.

Hello and welcome :) I specialize in working with folks who have experienced trauma, grief, and/or challenging family dynamics. Perhaps you've been noticing that the past is showing up in your present day romantic relationships/friendships or perhaps family relationships are still causing pain for you. I am an experienced Registered Clinical Counsellor accepting clients for online video therapy and telephone counselling throughout BC and limited in-person sessions in North Vancouver and West Kelowna.

Welcome and thank you for reading my profile! To help you experience happiness again, I believe that together we can help you cope and understand the emotions, behaviours or environment that you may be struggling with. Having the courage to share your story and reaching for support is the first step in achieving your therapy goals! As a result of supporting all walks of life, and my educational training, it has taught and amazed me how hope, resilience, growth, and healing is very possible even in the face of difficult change, loss, grief and trauma!

I am a Registered Professional Counsellor and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with over 14 years experience working with couples, individuals and families. I work within the framework of Somatic Experiencing, Attachment based counselling, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Family Systems Theory. I am trauma-informed and have recently completed my training in Advanced Somatic Experiencing.

I am passionate about working with clients that struggle with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. These experiences often invoke a feeling of being stuck; not knowing how to move forward. This leads to feeling overwhelmed and alone. I use a warm, gentle and strength-based approach. I believe that clients are the experts on their own life. I help them to process blocked emotions and provide tools to help them thrive. I believe that every human being strives for and has the capacity to fulfill their own potential. My purpose is to help my clients feel understood and empowered to achieve their mental health goals.

I am a narrative trained therapist who believes in collaboration, curiosity, and respect. When dilemmas and obstacles grow big enough, they can come to dominate our lives, pulling us towards dark ideas and stories in which we can feel hopeless, lost, scared, and disconnected. It is my aim as a therapist to work with clients to identify the challenges in their lives and explore how to move into more spaces of joy and preferred ways of living.

All grief is not the same. You might think that you cannot survive your traumatic loss and life will never seem right again. You might think that the pain you are in now will never end. You wonder how other people get through the day. My clients seek to make sense of what has happened in their lives, to be understood and have a place of safety to explore new ways of living. Having helped clients in many areas of counselling and psychotherapy and with most age groups over the past 20 years, my experience is broad and deep. This informs my current work with clients, who like you, are looking for hope that life can get better.

Accepting new clients online and in- person . Are you feeling overwhelmed with grief? I offer non-judgemental, down to earth sessions where you can come to be heard, to talk about what's really happening for you. I have experienced a great deal of grief, trauma and anxiety in my own life. Which included a car accident and the death of my younger brother due to complications with kidney disease. I know how hard it is to try be strong all the time and to try to do it all alone. Reaching out for support is brave. You don't have to do it all alone anymore.

I am passionate about working with women and addressing issues that are standing in the way of you experiencing life from a place of joy, self-love and empowerment. As women we tend to wear many hats such as daughter, mother, spouse, caregiver, career woman. Low self-esteem, co-dependency or inability to say no, feeling responsible, poor body image, fertility issues, sexual abuse or abuse, perfectionism or emotional eating...all these challenges can create stress and overwhelm which can lead to anxiety, depression and more.

At different times in our lives we face challenges that are more than we feel we can handle. ​Counselling is an opportunity for you to explore, learn, discover, and grow as a person​. I believe that having a safe, non-judgemental, and empathic place to explore your needs is the perfect starting point for change. I work primarily with adolescents and young adults to support them across the challenges and transitions those ages can bring. Some of the more common areas I work with clients on include; Identity, Grief, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and Communication.

At Nirivia Counselling our goal is to help people develop a greater understanding of their issues and increase positive supports to create change. We have a deep respect for our clients and the therapeutic relationship, we work collaboratively through both talk and arts-based creative techniques to create insight and promote healing.

Hi, I'm Scott! I have spent the past 18 years in Vancouver as a therapist working with children, youth, families and adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I have volunteered working with young offenders in the prison system, and with suicidal individuals through the services of the Vancouver Crisis Centre. Connectedness plays an important role in both my personal and professional life. At times, finding similar thoughts and opinions has helped me feel human. Other times, seeking different ideas and people has helped open my mind to new possibilities.

My goal is to provide a non-judgmental space where you can process and explore your unique path. Through our work together I aspire to empower you to express your authentic self without unconscious beliefs and behaviours getting in your way. Informed by my background as a holistic nutritionist and yoga teacher, my approach integrates various facets of well-being, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, as well as spirit.

In our sessions, I strive to provide a non-judgmental and open space where you can express yourself and explore your inner world so that we can create change together. While it is true that counselling can be challenging, I also believe it can and should include humour, hope, and be a comfortable place for you to learn and grow. If you are in a place where you are ready to make a change, I will support you to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, parenting, relationship challenges, grief & loss, trauma, psychedelic integration, & career.

It has been for too long that we have not given ourselves permission to fully grieve our losses. Whether it is a fear that allowing the grief to be experienced will be too much to bear, or the belief that we don't have as bad a situation as others, there are many reasons that we don't allow ourselves to grieve fully after our losses. This unprocessed grief will affect us, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Together, we will explore resources around and within you to honor your grief and move through it. Village Grief Counselling is an oasis for individuals experiencing loss.

If you're struggling with your sense of self-worth, or going through a tough loss or transition, you may want some support. My team and I welcome the chance to work along side you. Finding the right fit with a therapist is really important for counselling to be helpful. It should be with someone who really understands what is happening for you, someone professionally qualified to help, and someone who you feel comfortable talking to. Therapy involves effort. The good news is that you won’t be doing it alone. The alliance between us means that we'll be there to support you, ready to work with you while you create your path forward.
