Jason Lam

Seeking counseling can be a challenging process and it’s important to work with a therapist that is the right fit for you. I thrive in working with individuals feeling overwhelmed, wanting relief, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. I primarily focus on mood, trauma and stress-related disorders such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity, self-esteem, and the effects of childhood abuse or neglect. During sessions, I often draw from CBT, mindfulness, attachment and neuroscience. The decision to look for a counselor often comes at a time of crisis. I understand and accept that it is my job to build your trust and create a space for you to process experiences, challenge barriers, and reclaim your story.

MxN Men’s Therapy Network
MxN Men’s Therapy Network is a collection of Counsellors in BC who work as a team to provide more affordable Clinical Counselling to anyone who is male.
We offer our clients flexible counselling services of either in-person, walk & talk, or online video counselling. Our team works within their local area and so we are likely to discover a counsellor within your locality. If someone in your locality is not an option, we are able to link you with a counsellor who can work with you online.

I practice from an anti-oppressive, intersectional feminist, and trauma-informed lens. To be grounded in anti-oppressive practice from an intersection feminist lens means recognizing and examining the harmful systems that impact individual’s mental health. Pain and suffering are not created in a vacuum, but rather experienced as a result of the unjust systems that influence daily living. These influences can include patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, heteronormativity, and prescribed gender norms.

I believe in using our Diversity as an instrument to support people in their growth, rather than as a weapon to hurt ourselves and others. Therefore, I am committed to providing a respectful, safe, and welcoming space regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, socioeconomic condition, disability, or religion.
I bring different theoretical approaches to my practice, such as Psychoanalysis, Family Dynamics Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focus Therapy (CFT) and Traditional Indigenous Cultural practices. Services in English and Spanish, in-person or video sessions, and a sliding scale as needed.

With over 18 years of experience, I often tailor a therapeutic approach that best fits my client’s needs, often drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Adlerian Psychology. From 2020 to 2024 I was a part of an agency providing individual counselling services primarily to men, addressing men’s issues. I take pride in providing counselling services in a culturally sensitive manner with client centred, trauma-informed, psych-educational, solution focused and goal-oriented approaches. Some areas of practice include (but are not limited to): communication/interpersonal relationships, workplace issues, career dissatisfaction, stress, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, and/or life transitions.

When clients work with me there is a guarantee that change will occur. This change does not have to be drastic or grand. It can come from a new or revised perspective, different level of awareness, change in reaction time or with a slight adjustment to feelings and thoughts behind the challenge. I focus on balancing the right model, the correct therapy and the appropriate strategies for each client. Because every client is different, the therapy and services provided should be as unique as the person(s) sitting across from me. I adhere to one philosophy with every client: if your comfort level is high, then you will do great work in therapy. This means the counselling process is driven by the client and based on their needs.

For 18+ years I have assisted adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I use a collaborative approach with clients to develop treatment plans, and goal setting. You know your experience — your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — better than anyone else. I incorporate mindfulness into my therapy practice to aid in anxiety reduction, productivity, self-awareness and confidence. I have studied and include in my practice other approaches such as cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, secular Buddhism, narrative, Imago (for effective couples’ communication) and emotion-focused therapy.

As a male therapist and father to a young son, I’m especially passionate about men’s mental health. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be to create safe, non-judgmental spaces where men feel supported in opening up and doing the deeper work. I also offer sliding scale options to help make therapy more accessible for potential clients who are being priced out of mental healthcare, something I care deeply about.
I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with nearly a decade of experience in community counselling, support, and advocacy. I offer a down-to-earth, trauma-informed approach for clients dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, or relationship strain. I draw from CBT, DBT, and strength-based tools to help you better understand what you’re going through, cope more effectively, and move forward in a way that works for you. My style is warm, direct, and grounded in real-life experience.

Counselling doesn’t have to be clinical or intimidating — it’s simply a place where you don’t have to carry everything alone. Many men come to therapy not because something is “wrong” with them, but because they’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift. I help men make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface — the stress, shutdown, frustration, or emotional numbness that so often goes unnamed.
I also work with couples, particularly around the pressures men experience in relationships when they are expected to be strong, steady, communicative, emotionally available — even when no one taught them how. My approach is grounded, steady, and emotionally safe for clients who don’t usually open up easily.
I am part of the Surrey Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310.

In my work as an RCC, my approach to wellness is holistic and trauma-informed; I strive to consider the many factors that contribute to your overall well-being. I work collaboratively and take a strengths-based approach that honours your own unique skills and resources. In our work together, one of my main goals is to create safety in our relationship in which you will be met with warmth, compassion, and validation.
I’m experienced with trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationships, and career. I often incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Feel free to book a free 15-minute phone consult if you’d like to learn more – I’d be happy to chat!

How do we know what works – and why? I believe that most people can ultimately provide the answers for themselves; however, it may take some exploration. I therefore use strategies that are evidence-based and research-driven, to help clients build resilience and develop effective coping strategies.
A counsellor is someone who is there to provide guidance and support in times of unmanageable stress. While our sessions may draw from various counselling approaches, including CBT, SFBT, and Narrative Therapy, the client ultimately provides the backdrop – and puts in the work – that leads to lasting change.
