Find a Therapist

Dr. Saira Sabzaali

I work with those who want to incorporate their cultural values and spiritual beliefs in to therapy. I specialize in depression (including thoughts of suicide), anxiety, family harmony, and burnout. My YouTube Channel, Dragonfly Wellness TV, provides mental health content and training videos for my clients and the general public. If I am not the best fit for you, I can connect you to another counsellor or coach in my practice.

Tony Ho

If you’re ready for change, I can help. I offer counselling and therapy services from my easily accessible office in Downtown Vancouver to anywhere in B.C. and Ontario via secure online video chat. With over a decade of experience as a social worker and therapist, I can help you find healthier ways to manage and cope with everyday stresses and tackle complex mental health challenges.

I specialize in treating chronic insomnia with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and other sleep-impacting issues like anxiety, depression, and nightmares. You’ve taken such an important step by seeking support, and I know that it’s not easy. I invite you to connect with me to see how I can help.

Mr. Joel Brass

It’s tough to be a man. I know. I’ve been one all of my life. Whether it be emotional or sexual intimacy issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and the over-reliance on career, substances, money or sex, men can get lost in a thousand different ways. For 36 years now I have been counselling men and know this territory inside and out.

Robert Mundle

Feeling heard and understood is vital to all of our relationships both at work and at home. That’s my focus – to help you feel heard and understood on your healing journey towards wholeness in your relationships with yourself, with others and with what might be called the sacred in life.

I provide considerate, safe and respectful care, without discrimination as to race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion and national origin.

I provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Spiritually Integrated Therapy that explores and draws on the strengths and resilience embedded in your own unique life experience and story. I have flexible appointment times online, including evenings and weekends.

Natalie Carrière

I favour a holistic, integrative approach, tailored to meet your individual needs. Drawing on various modalities including mindfulness, CBT and ACT, we build on your strengths and resilience rather than focusing on pathology or diagnoses. Together, we identify thought and behaviour patterns no longer serving you, helping you to change and heal. I am sensitive to the fact that problems clients bring might have a spiritual dimension and remain open to working with your personal meanings. I enjoy working with clients and consider it a privilege to be able to accompany them on their journeys of self-discovery and healing.

Eric Burnet

Each unique individual deserves therapy that is tailored to their needs. We’ll work together to set goals, create an environment where you can feel comfortable, and build concrete tools that you can use outside our sessions. I have experience working with clients who are dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting, separation / divorce, suicidal thoughts, and more. Remote therapy only.

Tannis Price Counselling & Consulting

We are a practice that offers individual and couples counselling online and in Port Moody. We use an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach and specialize in first-responder care. Key modalities used are ACT, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, attachment theory and EFT and Gottman Relationship therapy.

We specialize in supporting the unique mental health needs of those on the front lines—police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency personnel. All of our Registered Clinical Counsellors are good-standing members of the Wounded Warrior Clinician Directory, listing healthcare providers who have completed occupational awareness training to support emergency personnel in their mental health.

Ms. Fraidie Burshtyn

I practice a client-centred approach. I utilize multi-disciplinary assessment and treatment strategies to suit the particular needs of my client. I offer specialised services for individuals experiencing a variety of personal issues. These can include but are not limited to Men’s issues, managing anger, anxiety, and stress. I’m also skilled in services for Therapeutic Family and Couple Mediation and Parent / Child Reconciliation.

Noelle Hansen

Fit is everything in therapy, without it you can feel like you’re spinning your wheels wasting time and money, just not getting the results you want from your investment. The men who work well with me prefer someone who is no-nonsense, likes to laugh, swears a lot, and does not take themselves too seriously,. At the same time, I’m down for tackling serious, dark, gnarly issues that you may never have been willing to even say out loud.

I’m also a semi-retired dentist (weird combo, I know), with extensive expertise in chronic pain and serious health issues. I work with pain patients and caregivers to manage the wear and tear that pain and illness has on folks and their families.

Sound like maybe a good fit? Reach out.

Coltan Thompson

I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies and skills while simultaneously working through the causes of issues. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving your understanding of your emotions, finding life-direction, resolving internal conflicts, or making peace with past experiences. Everyone’s needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach.

Mr Douglas Matear

“Clients are the experts of their own lives, and wellness is not a state of being, but a state of action.”

Douglas Louis Matear is a long-time practitioner of EMDR but uses a variety of approaches that best suit the needs of his clients. His diverse work and life experiences suit him well in navigating difficult conversations. Early childhood trauma, the impact of abuse, anxiety, depression, and an anti-deficit frame are at the core of his work. Cross-cultural sensitivity and being a member of the LGBTQIA2P+ community have enriched his therapeutic approaches. He is further interested in stress reduction, mindfulness, the importance of exercise, and coaching clients to be the best they can be.

Adele Fox & Associates

Over the years as a psychologist, I have learned that you can be good at working in many areas, but you can only be great at some, so I decided to gather a team of therapists whom I trust and that have unique skill sets and varying personality styles to compliment my own and provide other alternatives for you. My team supports all ages and concerns. Many of us enjoy working with men on ‘what it’s like being a man in this day and age’ stuff, as it’s a different landscape to navigate these days! Please check out my website to see all of us and how we can best assist you.
