In Person Therapists in Richmond, BC

Grief is a natural response to loss, which may include a range of emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt, longing, and often involves adjusting to life without the presence of what or who has been loss. Grief is also a highly individual experience, with no set timeline or "right" way to grieve. However, if you are struggling to cope with your loss, I am here to guide you through your journey of grief, helping you navigate the complex emotions, coming to terms with loss and finding ways to integrate it into your life. Formerly working in funeral service and community outreach, I have spent over 10 years helping people in distress.

Hello, 你好！I am a registered clinical counsellor specializing in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. In essence, this psychotherapy helps individuals change and grow from within because inner change is long-lasting and stable. It helps them find relief from mental or emotional stress, identify the hidden roots in the past to their present psychological pain, promote self-reflection and self-examination, develop a better understanding of present challenges, develop more effective and constructive coping methods, and facilitate life transformation and personality growth.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, sad and are having difficulty coping, you will find a safe, confidential environment for you to reduce your stress.By building on your unique strengths, I will help you to develop strategies to assist you to better cope with the challenges you are facing. I have a holistic approach, working with you on your thoughts, feelings, behaviour, and taking into consideration the social and spiritual aspects of your life as appropriate.

Finding a counsellor who can help you achieve a fulfilling life is an important first step. If you are ready to do the work to improve your outlook and make better connections, I would be privileged to be a partner in the process. Together, we will identify your individual goals, so you can feel again, enhance your strengths, develop self-confidence, make the right decisions, and find your life’s purpose. I would love to help you with that transition. You will be astounded to discover that most of the necessary tools are already in your possession. I look forward to meeting you!

I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds on a range of issues. I see individuals, couples, and families, many who feel something is stuck or not working the way it should, and would like to move toward change.

I believe counselling is a journey for people to heal from the trauma they experienced so that they are able to live freely. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe place for people and walk with them to help them deal with their hurt and pain. Thus they can resolve their emotional blockage and have both better intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. I help clients express emotions, address past trauma, connect past experiences to current issues, identify root causes of problems, and facilitate positive changes for effective future problem-solving. I am fluent in speaking Cantonese, English and Mandarin.

Do you ever feel that your life lacks meaning or a sense of purpose? Do you struggle to accept life’s challenges? Do negative thoughts, feelings, and constant worries about the future control your mind and well-being? I work with individuals to help them explore what areas of their life may feel stuck. Together we look at what might be getting in the way of moving forward and living a more fulfilling life. One of the greatest joys I experience in my work is to see clients regain a sense of control over their lives and feel more confident in their ability to deal with life’s challenges.

My name is Ravi Teja and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with over 20 years of experience. I am trained to utilize EMDR, CBT, DBT, EFT, and Gottman’s couples therapy. I use somatic and mindfulness-based psychotherapy for trauma stabilization and mental health. In my sessions, I provide safety & empathy in a non-judgmental environment through therapeutic clinical conversations. I create a space for your validation and to resolve enmeshed unresolved challenges related to past experiences.

One of the most difficult things to do in life is to ask for help. I understand that making the first call is stressful, and I am open to hearing your concerns as soon as we connect. I encompass a non judgmental approach, based on strength and resilience. I work collaboratively with my clients to empower them to make important changes in their lives. As a counselor, I support each client's own experience of their story. I take a holistic approach to understand the many layers that surround life challenges, to create connections and promote change.

The world is filled with many different facets that can end up contributing to how you experience life. I have a very humble approach to counselling. A relationship between you and I means giving you a safe and supported environment where there is no hierarchy involved of counsellor and client. Rather, it is an experience of non-judgmental conversation, allowing you to authentically express yourself and seek a more positive direction in your life.
