Counselling in East Vancouver, BC. Find the Right Therapist.

Hi folks, My name is Galina (they/them) and I practice in the city of Vancouver. I am an EMDR clinician, providing queer-centered, ADHD-adapted psychotherapy for traumatic stress management. I work with workplace trauma, compassion fatigue, and building resiliency.

I am a Registered Psychologist (R.Psych.) and work with adults across BC who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, worry/rumination, depression, anger, and stress. My goal is to help clients develop skills that will improve the quality of their lives.

If you're having a difficult time, I am passionate about helping you cope better and feel happier! Working together we become a team, of sorts, to determine a deeper understanding of your situation and create helpful solutions

In therapy, I am warm, respectful, empathic, kind and direct. Many clients have told me that they feel safer with me than with any other therapist they have been to.  I feel great admiration and respect for the people I work with and have learned so much from them.

I am a kind, compassionate man who is warm, genuine and accepting. I use a variety of modalities including Trauma informed, attachment, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution Focused. I have a depth of experience and I am adept at creating hope.

Life can feel heavy, confusing, or simply harder than it should. Since 2008, I've helped individuals, and couples make sense of what is happening, find practical ways forward, and feel more confident, resilient, and in control of their lives. I'm here to help.

My mission is to ensure that my clients are taken care of in a professional setting, I practise the highest ethical standards and protects the dignity and privacy of each client. Clients counselling needs are met by utilising various therapeutic approaches.

Somatic. Relational. Neurobiological. I am an integrative therapist offering grounded, compassionate and effective therapy for a richer, more relational life. Sessions are available online and in-person. I am an EMDR trained therapist.
