Find a Therapist

Ala’a Founouni

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.

Athina Lai

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with over 8 years of experience working in child welfare and healthcare settings. My passion lies in working with children and families, immigrants, and individuals facing mental and physical health challenges. I draw from various therapeutic models, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. By utilizing these approaches, I aim to provide client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed care, tailored to your unique needs.

Diksha Tyagi

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.

Lea Hutcheon

As a registered clinical counsellor, my style has been described as warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I work with men and people of any gender who experience suicidality, addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and a range of traumas. I am energized to work alongside folks who seek to live in alignment with their values. I use multiple modalities (ACT, DBT, parts work / IFS, and more) which are empirically supported, trauma-informed and respect your autonomy and choice. Many of my clients navigate disability and chronic pain. In working together, we will support you in building skills and new patterns on your chosen path of growth and change.

Alexia Spencer

Through my work, I realized how much pressure people experienced in their day-to-day lives and the effects this had on their relationship with themselves and others. Through my therapeutic work, I observed the consequences of society placing such a strong emphasis on perfectionism, a hyper-vigilance on “fixing” oneself, and external merit. Seeing adults, teens, and children struggling to understand their identity, self-worth, and values motivated me to gain expertise in various therapeutic modalities. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, and trauma, self-worth, identity, and relationships, and narrative as well as mindfulness approaches.

Scott Arner

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.
