Starting counselling and even trying to find a counsellor can be nerve-wracking, but you’re doing it! You took the first step! I provide counselling adults in English & Spanish. The clientele that I typically work with consists of individuals who struggle with depression, ADHD, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma, BPD, bipolar, self-esteem issues, self-harm, emotion dysregulation, burnout, family conflict & chronic illness. I take more of an integrative approach, where I combine different techniques and interventions from different therapeutic approaches.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

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.

Compassion and straightforwardness make up the cornerstone of how I work. As a counsellor, my goal is to help people recognise where they are, how they got there, and assist them in building a path forward.
I have been a counsellor since 2003 and hold a Masters of Education with a speciality in counselling. I am registered to provide counselling services for the First Nations Health Authority. You may be eligible for reimbursement of counselling services if you have a benefits package through your employer. Please check with them to see if you qualify.
I offer a complimentary telephone consultation so that we can determine if working together would be a good fit for you.

Daniel Prince of Adaptive Mental Health specializes in working with men who want support with emotional regulation, processing and embodiment practices.
Our clients often feel like they can’t control their own actions, or that the brain is simply a witness to their body’s response. Conversely, we work equally with people who struggle to feel anything in their body, like positive emotions, or otherwise can’t get out of their own head and be present and in the moment.
AMH utilize Somatic Embodiment therapy techniques to help men gain control over their emotions, be better able to connect with themselves and their loved ones and more healthily move towards the goals and pursuits they want in life to feel more connected and fulfilled.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, BC, with over a decade of experience specializing in youth, adolescent, and teen mental health. I have worked extensively in community-based agencies and school districts throughout the lower mainland, offering mental health support to youth, families, and individuals.
In addition to my practical experience, my education includes two bachelor’s degrees (B.A. and B.Ed.) from Simon Fraser University, as well as a master’s degree (M.Ed.) in counselling from City University of Seattle. My training encompasses client-centered, trauma-informed practices, with a focus on CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based therapy, and solution-focused therapy.

It’s important to me that my clients feel like they walk away from counselling with something, whether that’s a new insight, a skill, or a different perspective on what is an issue for them. My approach is collaborative, direct, and fully guided by my clients.
I feel it’s important to acknowledge the hand you were dealt and consider upbringing, socioeconomic status, race, sexual orientation, and gender norms and how they play into your own experience.
I work in trauma, anxiety, depression, and I’m passionate about helping late discovered adults with ADHD and autism understand themselves better. Some therapeutic styles I employ include CBT, DBT, IFS (internal family systems), and narrative.
Online and in-person sessions available Saturday through Wednesday.

My approach typically includes managing current symptoms and addressing underlying causes. Interpersonal patterns are often at the heart of depression, so our work together may include a focus on improving relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and others. Remote therapy only.

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.

Struggling with your sleep? You lay awake, for what feels like hours, only to fall asleep in short fits, punctuated by waking up in the middle of the night, just to try it all over again. Maybe you’ve tried pharmaceutical or over-the-counter strategies with mixed results. Thankfully, there is a substance-free way to treat sleep disorders and issues.
Our psychotherapeutic work will focus on applying the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi) to your particular situation. It’s not easy, but it gets results; with remission rates surpassing those seen in other disorders. Piqued your interest? Maybe your minds telling you it won’t work for you? Let’s chat about it over a consultation to figure out a path forward.

We welcome the opportunity to connect with you and discuss how we can assist. We offer sessions through Face to Face, Telephone, Zoom, and Skype.

As a therapist, I am relational, experiential, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused. Because much of our suffering occurs as the result of being left unbearably alone in the face of overwhelming emotional experiences, our work together will be done in the context of a safe relationship, one that is characterized by secure attachment, where you are never alone with overwhelming emotional experiences. I use an integrative approach that draws on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), body-based therapies, attachment theory, inner child work, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness.

“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.

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.
