Green Shield Canada Therapists in Surrey, BC

Hello! As a South Asian woman of colour, I have grown up and experienced living in a multicultural society, balancing the different identities that may come from being a child of immigrants as well as having peers of differing backgrounds. This has helped me develop a unique understanding of the experiences of those similar and different to me. I understand that our cultural upbringings, beliefs, and values may both help and hinder us in some ways as we grow into who we are today. We are made up of so many parts that make us who we are, and that is so important to understand and work with for your mental health and wellbeing.

When we are overwhelmed with the struggles of life & past trauma, it can feel as if our whole life is unravelling and can be a lonely, dark, anxious space & challenging to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Connect with me to start on your own unique healing journey today.

Seeking help is not a weakness, it is a strength that will allow you to build the life you long for. Sometimes we can feel confused about which path to take as we're confronted by life's challenges. The healing process is unique to each person; and from time to time, we can sometimes neglect the relationship with ourselves. I have a deep understanding and appreciation for how complicated, messy, and challenging life can be. With a warm and compassionate presence, I provide a safe and confidential space where together, we can work to identify unhelpful patterns, thoughts or behaviours and to set achievable and realistic goals.

I provide Play and Sand Tray Therapy for children 13 and under. Children express their worries, fears, and confusion in a variety of behaviors from aggression to withdrawal. With their still rapidly developing brains and language centers, children don't yet have the capacity to accurately express themselves through words. That doesn't mean that they aren't communicating! They are constantly "talking" to us through their behaviors and actions. The challenge for the caring adults in their lives is to unravel what they are trying to say through their behavior.

My practice was created very plainly to help in any way I can. I am here to assist you in finding your voice, to design new and effective ways to address your concerns and to help you better understand your discomfort. I believe that the goal of therapy is to find a way to live presently and learn to be comfortable with the history we all carry with us.

Hello, my name is Rina. As a body-based somatic emdr practitioner, I guide my clients toward healing and empowerment through reconnecting with their bodies to heal from past wounds or traumas. Together we navigate the journey to wholeness. This is your session where you will have complete confidentiality, feel safe and be heard. I offer a sliding scale if you have no extended benefits and are low-income, seniors, or students or if you are a new immigrant or refugee. Together, let's begin this journey to healing.

Sometimes it takes a lot out of a client to seek help for counselling. They feel uneasy and anxious about opening up and expressing their thoughts and feelings. They are unsure where to start and what to expect from the therapist. I encourage clients to be themselves in the therapy room and work alongside them to hear their worldviews and experiences. Clients will work with me to process and reprocess their experiences. This allows a client to work through their journey of healing and growth. Clients feel safe and comfortable when they receive compassion and validation through therapy.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a number of experience working with people struggling with various mental health issues including but not limited to; trauma, addiction, emotion dysregulation, and relationships. I believe in humans’ natural tendency to ‘bounce back’ from distressing life events. Often, perception of our inner strengths gets clouded due to prolonged stress, and we give up living a life we truly deserve. In my practice, I work together with my clients as a team to redefine their strengths and help them achieve their sense of well- being and self worth.

Everyone has a story. Our lived stories/experiences can shape our lives in a multitude of ways. Have you ever been curious how some people just have it so easy/or so difficult? Encouraging curiosity and seeing through a lens of love and compassion for yourself is where it all begins. Living with an awareness of how we process, interact and show up in our day to day lives, starts to lead us to our purpose. Imagine yourself living your most authentic life. What an incredible gift you give yourself when you live from your truest expression. This process is about you; and how you can begin to live with loving compassion.

Have you recently given birth? Have you suffered a loss? Are you feeling traumatized after your birth experience or feeling overwhelmed and scared navigating the fourth trimester. Are postpartum symptoms taking over? Feeling detached from your spouse, stressed, sleep deprived, self conscious or not like yourself is very unsettling. You feel as though you dont have anyone to talk to; friends and family don't truly understand what you are experiencing. You might be hiding your true thoughts and feelings about how everything you are living through is affecting you.

There are many times in one person's life where one seeks support and information with resolving personal and psychological difficulties. Seeking counselling at this time will help break isolation and improve coping more effectively and quickly. Finding a good fit with someone is important to the success of the journey. I am trained in Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) where a client directs the counselling relationship by the feedback they provide. I believe in the right FIT and relationship between client and counsellor to be of great importance in helping a client in counselling.

Everyone of us goes through tough times in our lives. We all have unique ways to handle these life situations, which may come easier for some individuals compared to others. Oftentimes, people will go through times where they feel stuck, unsure of why they feel that way. My job as a counsellor is to help those clients rediscover that spark and passion they had in life to empower them to learn the skills they need to move towards reaching their short term and long term goals.

You work hard to make relationships work, work hard at your job, you try your best to ensure everyone else around you is happy but end up losing yourself amid this. Even though you feel isolated, unheard, unseen you keep going. You want to stand up for yourself but don’t know how to. At times you feel overwhelmed with emotions thus feeling lost, helpless and anxious. You wonder why you connect to people a certain way and wish you could have healthier/sustainable relationships, wish you could cope better in difficult situations/be in charge of the way you express your feelings.

Seeking support and allowing space for self-reflection can be daunting. For that, I recognize the courage it has taken for you to get here and the willingness to be open.

As we become more self-reflective towards our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves, we gain the ability to create lasting change in our lives.
