Find a Therapist

Paul Brennan

I am a private practice psychologist focusing on depression, anxiety, anger and related mood issues. Overall, my approach is more on the structured side. I approach therapy as a set of moves that anybody can learn in order to help themselves work with thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Although history can be important, the main focus of my work is here and now, because that’s the only time when change can happen.

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.

Brittany Sirtonski

Our biggest moments of crisis, when supported with care, consciousness, and insight, are in fact our greatest sources of personal growth and transformation. I help individuals to strengthen the resources they have within themselves, learn to navigate challenging and uncomfortable emotions and life experiences, and build resiliency to navigate through tough times. As you begin to more consciously navigate life’s ebbs and flows, I support you in moving towards a more comfortable, content and meaningful life.

Coleen Adderley

Coleen has over 20 years’ experience working in healthcare including Emergency Room nursing, acute care, mental health, oncology, long term care, and Clinical Research. She previously developed and ran an autism art therapy program for adolescents, teens and adults. Coleen helps her clients to understand that change, crisis, and adversity are necessary for personal growth and development. What looks like an overwhelming threat often contains an opportunity to heal, grow, and learn. By using evidence based treatments and a non-judgemental empathetic approach, Coleen will help you to learn a variety of tools that will help you to overcome your current challenges and be better equipped to cope with anything life throws your way in the future.

David Chacon Valenzuela

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.

Pam Paquet

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.

Evan Vukets

I help men who feel burned out, stuck, or disconnected find clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. Our sessions are practical and down-to-earth, giving you tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and reconnect with what matters most. These tools are rooted in evidence based practices including CBT, DBT, and Adlerian therapy.

Our sessions will be a space for the deeper conversations that bring lasting change. Whether in-person at my Abbotsford office or online, you will have a supportive space to slow down, unpack what’s going on, and take steps toward a life that feels like your own.

Sebastian Wingfield

Beyond my master’s degree in counselling psychology, I have extensive training as an existential therapist and integrate elements of humanistic, psychodynamic, and contemporary cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques in my work to form an individualized treatment plan that is co-authored with the client.

Natasha Sani

My practice specializes in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic illness or cancer, ADHD, grief, and major life transitions, including the shift into adulthood and evolving family dynamics. I recognize that our identities and personal narratives are shaped by lived experiences—challenges, traumas, and milestones that influence our resilience and self-perception. By exploring these influences, we can foster personal growth and meaningful transformation.

Mr. Vijay Mann

People are unique individuals with unique experiences. We all bring distinct histories and concerns to therapy. I respect your story and your concerns, and will provide support in a way that will work for you.

Therapeutic approaches will incorporate a variety of principles and concepts to create the ideal therapy for clients. This is meant to meet client’s specific needs and address individual challenges. This holistic approach includes CBT, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, among others.

Holistic healing addresses various aspects of our lives that are often intertwined-physical health, mental health, social well-being, spiritual well-being, career concerns, etc. and incorporates research-based techniques and traditional wisdom.

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.

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.

Isabel Ruediger

I am a retired career firefighter that believes first responder occupational stress and repeated exposures to potentially traumatic events can sometimes lead to struggles in enjoying quality of life. Therapy can be an opportunity to to work collaboratively together in navigating the balance of work and personal life. In my practice I draw upon evidence based modalities such as CBT and ACT in working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma or OCD.

Sarah Larson

I enjoy working with men to explore their personal narratives and how these stories have influenced their sense of identity and emotional wellbeing. I offer a unique multi-cultural perspective, influenced by work experience and living abroad. This mindset paired with a trauma-informed practice allows me to create a safe space for therapeutic change. I enjoy working with men with diverse experiences and identities from all walks of life to explore how internal narratives may be impacting mental wellbeing. My goal is to create an environment that feels safe and inspires growth.

Bruce Avery

My name is Bruce Avery and I work as a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT) and I’m the Founder of Avery Therapy Centre & Stellium Sex Therapy. I work with a wide range of people who may seek increased perspective, self-understanding, and clarity in their everyday lives. I also work with people who may feel that anxiety, depression, or past trauma is hindering them from achieving their goals.

When working with me, you can expect to be treated with respect, care, and compassion. It is my intention to develop a foundation of trust and security and an environment in which you can explore your inner world and feel more empowered. My practice is trauma and culture informed.
