Hear from our clients…
It’s such a relief to talk to someone who actually gets what it’s like being LGBTQ+. No weird looks, no judgment—just real support. I can finally be myself.
They really understand what it’s like growing up with Asian family expectations. I didn’t have to explain everything from scratch. Therapy helped me find a way to set boundaries without feeling like I was disrespecting my culture.
I honestly couldn’t do therapy if it weren’t for the evening and weekend times. They really work around my schedule, and it never feels rushed. Super knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
I was completely burnt out from work. As a healthcare worker, I’m used to putting others first—but therapy helped me draw the line and get some balance back.
I used to feel like anxiety was running the show. Now, I’ve actually got tools that help. I finally feel like I’m in the driver’s seat.
It’s so ADHD-friendly here. The sessions have structure, but there’s also room to adapt depending on how my brain’s working that day. No judgment—just stuff that actually helps.
For the first time in a long time, I feel safe opening up. It’s clear they really understand trauma, and the way they show up—it just makes healing feel doable.
I was totally running on empty. Therapy helped me reset, figure out where to draw the line, and start feeling like myself again.

Anxiety Counselling in Vancouver
How is this different from regular anxiety counselling?
This program is a fixed, structured three-session course with a set curriculum — each session builds on specific tools like the emotion wheel and cognitive reframing techniques. Our open-ended individual counselling for anxiety is more flexible and ongoing, shaped session-to-session around what’s coming up for you, which tends to suit more complex or long-standing anxiety better.
Is this program covered by insurance?
Yes, we offer direct billing with most major Canadian insurance providers, including Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, and Pacific Blue Cross — the same coverage available across our other services.
How do I know if what I'm feeling is "real" anxiety, or just everyday stress?
A bit of anxiety is a normal response to stress, so the real question is usually how much it’s interfering with your sleep, relationships, work, or day-to-day life. If you’re not sure, our free Anxiety Quiz is a quick way to get a clearer picture before booking, or you can just ask about it on your free matching call.
What happens after the three sessions — can I keep going if I need more support?
Yes. Some people find three sessions is exactly the reset they needed, while others want to keep building on it — if that’s you, moving into ongoing individual counselling is a natural next step, and your therapist can help you figure out what’s worth continuing.
Does this help with specific things like panic attacks or social anxiety, or is it more general?
The tools in this program — emotion regulation, cognitive reframing, mindfulness — are broadly useful across most types of anxiety, including social anxiety and panic-related worry. If you’re dealing with a more specific or long-standing pattern, it’s worth mentioning that on your matching call so your therapist can advise whether the structured program or ongoing counselling is the better starting point.
Should I still do this if I'm already on anxiety medication?
Yes — this program is meant to work alongside medication, not replace it. Many people find combining psychotherapy with medication more effective than medication alone, though any questions about adjusting or stopping medication should always go through your prescribing doctor, not your therapist.
