To the wonderfully courageous you who are reading this: My name is Jenny Fang, a doctoral-level quadrilingual (English, Mandarin, Japanese & Taiwanese) Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in the province of British Columbia & Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) in California who are often referred by psychiatrists, psychologists, and mental health professionals as a result of my specialties and effectiveness in treating trauma (sexual/spiritual/verbal/mental/physical) and (re)building identity and resilience. In this challenging season in your life journey, know that you are thought of and have support even when you don’t know it.

I am passionate about serving others that suffer from addictive behaviours, anxiety and traumatic experiences that prevent one from living their best life. You are not the problem, the problem is the problem. So many of us including myself have lived too long with life doing us instead of us doing life. I offer affordable online counselling and I am excepting new clients at this time. I also see clients in person at Thrive Downtown Counselling Clinic. I have linked my availability at Thrive Clinic in my Website section.

As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), Nina has been helping people break through their inner barriers to find clarity and well-being for over fifteen years. Specializing in relational-based therapy, addictions, and mindful parenting, she skillfully guides her clients through critical decisions and transitions in their lives, including divorce, separation, loss and the many manifestations of emotional trauma and anxiety.

For anyone looking for support with navigating a challenge or who feels a longing to realize more of life's potential, I believe that counselling can be tremendously helpful. I also believe this is true for a variety of challenges and goals, whether it’s navigating a mental health challenge like anxiety, depression or ADHD, or just wanting to live at your highest level. Through counselling I believe we enter a space where we can honestly explore our various thoughts and feelings, generate insights and evolve our wisdom and perspective.

Are you holding it together on the outside but on the inside it feels VERY different? Do you feel gripped by anxiety, self-doubt, anger, fear, or numbness? Having thoughts that you are not enough, or too much, or that you should be perfect? There is a reason this is happening. I believe change happens through compassionate accompaniment in intentionally held spaces that allow us to explore and integrate parts of ourselves that are causing inner tensions. Through an accepting and supportive environment therapy helps to regulate emotion and promote lasting change.

I help people learn to forgive themselves for the things they had to do in order to survive. I believe that when we feel safe in our body and free from the shackles of our past, we can create our dream reality. By honouring our sensitive nature, and creating a safe space to explore, we can set our inner child free - inviting playfulness, humour, and curiosity to the healing process. We are not what has happened to us, we are who we choose to become. I'm here to help you discover who you truly are on a soul level.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering counselling sessions both in-person and virtually. I work in the field of healing because I believe that it is always possible, and I believe deeply in the power of relationships to facilitate that healing. The connection that we build in our work together is of the utmost importance to me, and I strive to create a space where you can feel safe enough to share your truth and feel accepted for exactly who you are.

Life’s challenges can be difficult to cope with. We all feel stuck at some point in our lives and need support. Stress can leave you drained, anxious, ruminating and wondering how to move forward. Life-transition(s) can be challenging and overwhelming whether it be moving to a new place, changes in a significant relationship, or the loss of a loved one. You are not alone. Thank you for taking a step to look into therapy. In doing so you are taking an active part in your healing, courageously reaching for what you would like to have in your life. I will support you with building awareness and increasing resiliency.

I help individuals to achieve their personal psychological goals such as overcoming fears, improving their self-esteem and self-confidence, reducing or eliminating negative stress or distress in their lives, freedom from limiting beliefs and ways of thinking about the self and the world that deprive one of happiness and growth, destructive habits, or the greater goal of manifesting your ideal self or personality.

My hope is that the work of counselling can be a transformative, comforting, and challenging spot to land during difficult circumstances. I have enjoyed the collaborative moments of insight into ongoing painful circumstances and sharing a laugh despite mountainous difficulties. For over twenty years in various capacities, being able to share in life’s joys and heartaches has been a great privilege.

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. Too many of us suffer in silence with anxiety, low self-esteem, unprocessed trauma and anger. 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.

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.

I have sixteen years of training and clinical experience working with individuals and couples. Clients come to me usually when they are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or at a crossroad. My clients are often wanting a deeper sense of self-understanding, more peace and fulfillment in their lives. I offer compassionate, skilled, and informed assistance to support my clients in exploring core emotional issues, relationship dynamics and behavioral patterns. My style is warm, attentive, & engaged. I am strongly committed to my clients and will accompany and support you as you find your way through what life has brought you.

I am passionate about self-discovery and bringing balance in our lives to handle stressful situations. My goal is to support my clients on their journey back to their truest, most embodied selves. My approach to counselling integrates several methods depending on individual needs. I strongly believe that no one definition fits all; we are all unique individuals and heal differently. I stand by three strong proponents: non-judgmental attitude, congruence and unconditional positive regard.

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.

Feeling stuck and overwhelmed, longing for a deeper connection with yourself and others? Struggling with self-loathing, anxiety, and self-doubt? It's time to transform your life. Imagine building self-love, enhancing your self-worth, and improving your communication skills. Picture setting healthy boundaries and fostering authentic, fulfilling relationships. Whether you're seeking individual growth or looking to strengthen your relationship, you deserve to break free from negative thinking and live confidently and authentically. Let's explore your inner world, confront your fears, and embrace your true self.

Do you yearn to break free and yet feel held down by a heavy weight? Do you feel like the flow of life is blocked by a sense of depression and anxiety? Do you long to feel lighter and more alive? Do you have dreams about growing and coming into yourself, and yet feel mostly ruled by fear and insecurities? Do you wish you could find a guide that you could help you bring your dreams into reality? I work in a humanistic and client-centred way. This means that I believe in the intrinsic and unique value of every being, and that we’ll work together to locate you in your unique story.

Do you wonder why some painful patterns keep coming up over and over again, despite your best intentions? Are you longing to find peace amidst the endless ups and downs? The conflicts in your life are calling out to you, because they are looking for your attention, love and a space to transform. You have the opportunity to begin a new relationship with yourself, with others, and find the freedom to choose a different path, one that nourishes you. I am here to walk with you, on your journey from struggle to ease, from separateness to wholeness, and from pain to a deep love.

Are you tired of feeling trapped in a cycle, battling against waves of overwhelm and exhaustion? Perhaps your mind feels like a battleground, overrun by intrusive thoughts, leading to challenging emotions and compulsive behaviours or addictions. Do you suffer from low self esteem and social anxiety? Maybe you are noticing a pattern of codependent or toxic relationships in your life and don't know how to break free. Are you ready to gain insight, develop healthy coping skills and create change in your life? I offer a safe space for you to show up exactly as you are and support you in who you want to become.

Since 2004 I've been committed to supporting adults, adolescents, families, and couples engage their growth and realize new possibilities for themselves. I offer an honest and compassionate approach. My aim is to help you identify what is actually going on beneath the surface so you can reclaim your power and capacity for choice. Our work together is about clearing burdens of the past and articulating visions of what is possible.

A warm welcome to you! I'm here to assist you with questions about your own substance or behavioral addiction or your concerns about a partner, friend or relative. I provide trauma-informed counselling, education, assessment, outpatient treatment, inpatient aftercare, referral and consultation. I hold multiple credentials as a Certified Addiction Specialist, with mandated on-going study in the field. I am happy to increase understanding about your situation, see if we're a good fit or provide resources and appropriate referrals to get you the help you need, free of charge, with a 'meet up' consult.

Welcome! Whilst it's really hard to be with our suffering when it arises, the fact that it has come to our awareness indicates that it's a good time to explore it with support. We don't have to bear the burden of our unhappiness, stress and confusion alone. It can be wonderfully reorienting when our personal experience is deeply heard, held and respected, with skill and open-heartedness. Often helping us find fresh perspective on the way forward. This is the gift we offer ourselves, when we take the time to engage in healthy therapeutic relationship. My work has been a joy to me and I would be delighted to hear from you.
