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

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes life is difficult. We are unable to overcome the issues that are plaguing our life. While some may be able to address similar issues, they don't have the same past experiences that are holding them in a negative place.

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.

My approach to counselling is to respect and value the uniqueness of every individual and where they are. I work to support them using creativity, with warmth, understanding and at times, a touch of humour when appropriate.

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.

I believe that everyone is worthy and deserving of inner happiness and loving relationships. I feel privileged to have facilitated many individuals, couples and families in overcoming negativity thoughts and behaviors, in a safe, compassionate and accepting atmosphere.
