Grief Therapists in North Vancouver, BC

As your counsellor, my intention is to be a compassionate companion, walking alongside you on your journey of healing. Our sessions will focus on you, your challenges, your goals, and the impact that they have on your life. I will partner with you as you take each step of your journey, and support you as you explore, connect, and create expansion and growth, to help facilitate change and healing. I am available for in-person sessions, as well as offering the option to walk and talk, telephone sessions, or virtual video counselling. I am currently accepting new clients.

My philosophy as a counsellor is founded on a collaborative approach. Together, we explore perspectives, abilities, strengths you can draw from, as well as, barriers that may be impeding, the changes you seek. We are all experts of our own lives and you possess important knowledge, skills, and abilities vital to making changes in your life. Two counselling theories I identify most with include: Narrative Therapy and Existential/Logotherapy. In 2022 I trained in EMDR. It was transcendental both experiencing it as a client and as clinician. The research behind this therapy is so robust, I have also actively integrated into practice.

You don't have to figure out life's challenges alone - you deserve to have your pain witnessed. Together we’ll build a strong relationship and untangle the parts of you that feel stuck, so that you can make the best choices and changes for your life. It is my goal for you feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to grow in the ways that matter most to you. Whatever uncertainty, change, pain, or opportunity you are experiencing - I am prepared to listen deeply with compassion, curiosity, and care. My approach is trauma-informed - bringing together mind and body based therapy to best support your unique situation.

Hi, I'm Nicole (she/her). Maybe you're feeling stuck...you know what the problem is but not what to do next. Maybe you've been experiencing worry, or a sense of 'what's the point?' about your life. Maybe you're feeling really alone. Maybe you've recognized that the past is creeping into your present, and old patterns are affecting the relationships you are in today. Maybe you've even been to therapy before but haven't seen the change you want to see. If you're in a space where you're not feeling like yourself, you're not alone, I have felt this way too, and I know how much courage it takes to even start considering asking for help.

My desire to serve the community in which I grew up in, has always been important to me. I have worked at overdose prevention sites, harm reduction residential facilities, suicide crisis lines, and employment family assistance program (EFAP). It’s been a privilege to work with such a diverse range of clients. Having lived experience as a first responder, I am aware of how trauma can profoundly impact the mind and body. I utilize a blend of evidence-based practices including humanistic culturally responsive and socially just approaches (CRSJ). I specialize in addiction, relationships, trauma, anxiety and depression.

I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and a Registered Clinical Counsellor licensed in British Columbia. Working with me you’ll begin to discover your unique sense of self that will help you navigate life's challenges with grounded confidence. I combine evidence-based interventions to help you build a personal 'tool kit' to approach your mental health needs on a regular basis. Overall, my clients notice an increase in psychological resiliency; an increase in confidence and self-direction; and a decreased desire to please others in a way that they lose themselves in the process.

Who do you believe you are? Often, the story we tell about ourselves is not a happy one. The way we see ourselves has been shaped by the ways we've been hurt and the painful experiences we've had. This is important because the story we tell about ourselves impacts the decisions we make, how we think we deserve to be treated by others, our plans for the future, and so much more. Therapy can help you change the way you see yourself, your life, your relationships, and your future. I can help support you as you heal, working through the painful things that have happened and the negative ways they've impacted you.

I specialize in relationship counselling for individuals and couples. Clients often come to me for support with building trust, navigating the transition to parenthood, dealing with relationship anxiety, coping with low intimacy or desire, healing from a relationship ending, and building healthy communication. Our relationships are important to us, and it can be distressing when we feel disconnected from our partner or anxious about maintaining a healthy relationship. My passion is helping clients understand how they show up in relationships and feel capable of making real change.

Hi there! My name is Jocie and I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I am currently accepting new clients in-person and virtually.

We are a team of clinicians that are trained to work with students, individuals, couples and families. That excel at helping you expand your emotional tolerance, reactions & communication skills.

You are not alone and we are here to encourage you to let those experiences be felt in a safe & non-judgmental environment. We know how hard it can be for most people to do therapy & our goal is to make it engaging, insightful & rewarding. To be vulnerable means not having our deepest feelings and secrets shot down. We use an integrative approach.

Clients often come to me when they decide that survival is no longer enough. Whether it's past trauma, depression, anxiety, disconnection from self, lack of purpose, or lack of hope (etc). As humans, we all carry rocks in our proverbial backpacks. I am awestruck by the human capacity to survive and endure. But sometimes the weight that holds us down becomes so familiar that it is almost comforting. If you are reading this, you have found the courage to ask the question, "What if I allow myself to believe that I deserve better?" I love nothing more than helping clients explore what that might look like, and how to get there.

As a registered clinical counselor in Vancouver, I bring over 20 years of experience in addressing stress-related and functional disorders within the fields of medical psychology and consultation. My expertise encompasses anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related disorders, addictive disorders, and chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, migraines, back pain, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and refractory pains. I specialize in the assessment and management of these complex psychiatric and psychological disorders.

Feeling stuck? Tired of old patterns? Are you ALL IN? Do you want ease and peace in all your relations?

I embrace courage and ask you to step purposefully onto a personal growth path that allows your heart to lead, resulting in you living authentically. Engage all aspects of self, spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical. This extends to couples as well, looking for more connection; and healthier communication as you individually grow and evolve. Activate YOU through therapeutic coaching meets spiritual mentoring.
