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.

Most of my clients haven't found relief. They may have been unsuccessful in previous therapy ventures like CBT. They are not interested in using medication to resolve their PTSD, Complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, or self-esteem issues. They may have considered suicide or used other control behaviors to help them self-regulate their emotions. They typically have experienced childhood trauma through verbal, sexual, neglect and/or physical abuse that has invaded their adult lives. Or, they may have had entirely normal childhoods, not feeling their experience was different from others, yet still have the above side effects.

If you have found your way to my profile, it may be that you are feeling troubled and want to discuss these feelings with a compassionate professional. Welcome! Be assured that you have taken a difficult and important first step towards well being. I honor your courage in coming this far! I look forward to finding a pathway to healing together.

I look forward to working with anyone finding their way through life transitions and challenges, such as anxiety, depression, parenting, relationships, separation/divorce and co-parenting, post-partum, grief, and aging. I am passionate about supporting those with neurodiversity (ADHD, AuDHD, Autistic, Sensory issues, PDA, etc) and welcome anyone 2SLGBTQ+. I like to help individuals build their self-understanding and compassion. Let me support you to identify and work toward goals, and to manage any difficult moments.

I'm a Registered Professional Counsellor with a wealth of experience helping couples and individuals create happier lives. Couples stuck in escalating arguments can feel alone and panicky. No matter how hard you try to resolve your pain, hopelessness grows. I can help you clarify your most important issues and learn to communicate in ways that reassure. I have helped hundreds of couples strengthen their connection and experience renewed love and intimacy that lasts. I warmly support individuals caught in old limiting patterns and beliefs to explore and transform places of pain into a life of more possibility.

I work with individuals from adolescence to adulthood. I am experienced working with a wide variety of issues, with a special focus on anxiety, depression, substance misuse, disordered eating, and relational challenges. My style of counselling is highly collaborative and I utilize an integrative, holistic, and trauma-informed approach. My practice is guided by a number of theories, primarily Narrative theory, Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, as well as more concrete Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioural, and Dialetical Behavioural therapies.

I authentically connect with children, youth and families, and have experience working with clients who are at-risk. I use a client-centered, holistic approach, meaning I focus on helping the individual work on their "whole self". I also work with my clients collaboratively, understanding differing needs.

The best therapists are ones that have experienced many of the issues their clients come in with, and I would be no exception to that. Having overcome many struggles myself, and found ways to cope, I pass that knowledge onto my clients. I work differently than most counselors. I believe counselling should be short term. I want to bring you to a place to learn the tools to implement and then help yourself. I work primarily with anxiety, depression, narcissistic abuse, eating disorders, relationship issues, and ADHD.

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.

Hi! I'm Villeena. I firmly believe everyone can lead fulfilling lives. Yet, when we find ourselves always struggling with difficult thoughts and emotions, we can feel trapped in our circumstances. Intense emotions and persistent thoughts can take us on an unpleasant ride, leaving us feeling exhausted. We become critical of ourselves for not being "good enough". We then become trapped in a vicious cycle that further isolates us from others and even ourselves. In therapy, I am to create space for your unwanted thoughts and emotions. Together, we will explore your goals, values, and strengths to help shape the life you want!

I pride myself on providing a safe, warm, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment for the clients I work with. I realize it can be difficult to reach out for help, or even to know where to start.

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 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.

Challenging situations can happen suddenly, or be built up over time, leaving us caught off guard or uncertain of the way forward. Throughout my career I have developed an expertise in counselling people going through distressing or unexpected life circumstances or difficult relationship dynamics. I assist people with grief and loss, relationship strain or change, workplace conflict, bullying, exhaustion/burnout, stress management, or anything which keeps them awake at night. If something has happened to you out of the blue, or you're fed up with some cycle in your life that keeps repeating itself, I can help you move through it.
