Trevor Gray

Vancouver, British Columbia

Trevor Gray

MSW, University of British Columbia
Years in practice: 6
Offers:  Remote Therapy

My practice is person-centred, trauma-informed, and draws largely from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) – a relational and emotion-focused approach. I believe each person is the expert in their own life and inherently has the knowledge and resources necessary to guide the therapeutic process, make changes, and move toward their preferred ways of living. I am here to support you with this process.

I have a reputation for being non-judgmental and gentle in my approach, which promotes the sense of safety and openness necessary to collaboratively unpack and find relief from the challenges of life. Often, this involves building awareness of old emotional patterns and working together to develop and experience new and preferred patterns in session.

My goal is to create an open and nonjudgmental space for you to work towards your goals & your healing at your own pace. I work with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, life stress, racism/discrimination, and more. I work from an approach called Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) which helps clients bring awareness to their underlying emotions and break the cycles that make them feel stuck. I offer virtual & in-person sessions in Vancouver, BC. Let’s start with a free phone consultation! You can contact me by email: [email protected] or check out my website for the online booking link.

MEd, Simon Fraser University
Years in practice: 24
Offers:  Remote Therapy

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 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. I currently offer sliding scale/reduced rates.

Dr. David Kealy

Dr. David Kealy

MSW, PhD, University of British Columbia
Years in practice: 25+

My approach to psychotherapy is tailored to the particular problems, strengths, and experiences of each individual client. Although I am informed by my research – and the research and theories of others – on identity and personality, emotions and interpersonal relationships, and the effects of trauma, I base my work in therapy on an understanding of the individual. This individualized focus lends itself to a variety of issues that lead people to seek therapy. While every therapy is unique, I maintain an overall commitment to establishing a professional, safe, and comfortable therapeutic relationship to help clients address important personal goals and challenges.

My work is individually tailored to suit the person and the problem for which they seek consultation. I approach each client in a non-judgmental manner, being sensitive to the circumstances of their issues, and empathic to their experiences.

Rim Yassine

REMOTE ACROSS BC

Rim Yassine

MA, The University of Queensland
Years in practice: 11
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work with adults—particularly men and queer/trans clients—who feel exhausted by coping alone, disconnected from themselves or others, or under pressure to “hold it together.”

My therapeutic approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from somatic therapy, attachment‑based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches.

Sessions are paced collaboratively, with close attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and consent. Rather than pushing for insight or change before readiness, the work unfolds in a grounded and steady way that supports lasting integration and deeper self‑trust.

I offer remote therapy across British Columbia and Ontario.

Ever feel like saying FML? Between working nonstop to get ahead, demanding relationships, marriage and kids, it can feel impossible to make time for yourself. It’s no wonder your mental health eventually takes a toll. Showing up as anxiety, anger and depression or some other stressful situation that pulls you down. So how can you keep up when most men choose to isolate and go it alone?
Well, one of the best ways to stay sane in an insane world is to stay connected and check-in with a trusted friend or guide. No matter what you’re going through, I’m here to help. My practice specializes in men’s issues like stress, anxiety, anger, depression, communication in relationships, and a lack of meaning in life.
My style is direct and grounded in a dual-accredited background—a crucial asset often missing in the field. I hold an MA in Counselling Psychology and am a retired MD. This combination ensures a powerful, results-driven approach to change. I have also completed VIU’s Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy program.
