Find a Therapist in Burnaby

I work with millennials, zillennials and gen-Xers who struggle with anxiety, stress, relationships or self-worth. You might have noticed that the "roadmap of life" doesn't really apply these days, so you're navigating uncharted territory with your own compass and notebook. Personal strategies to manage stress, mood and relationship conflicts work well enough until they don't, which can add onto your stress... If you struggle with people pleasing, boundaries, communication, perfectionism or assertiveness and you want to build confidence, you're not alone. And I can help.

Get to know your Burnaby LGBTQ Therapist Alo, my name is Nita Agustin, and I go by she/they pronoun. I’m your friendly neighbourhood LGBTQ therapist based in Burnaby, BC, ready to help you find yourself on this journey called life. If you’re expecting a typical, “professional” looking counsellor, I will warn you, that’s not me. I show up the way I want my clients to show up - as my whole self. I laugh loudly. I speak openly and I encourage my clients to do the same :) I’m committed to creating a space to make mycurious youth clients feel safe, heard, validated, and affirmed no matter what they bring into the room. As an LGBTQ therapist, I draw a lot on my personal experiences to guide me in my work with my youth and young adults clients. Growing up queer in Indonesia and making a big move to Burnaby, BC, in 2011, has framed a lot of how I view the world and given me valuable insight on navigating LGBTQIA2S+ issues, cross-cultural changes, life transitions, and finding yourself. When you come see me, I want you to feel at home and welcome to be yourself. I’m not here to be an authority in your life, but an ear to listen to, a shoulder to cry on, and a voice of compassion, understanding, and motivation.

Hi! My name is Tina and I use a holistic approach combined with evidence and strength-based practices in my practice. I hope to empower you to shine forward into the life you want. My training and experience has focused on individuals who have experienced trauma - from childhood trauma to single-incident events. I have also worked a lot with clients with anxiety, depression and ADHD. My approach blends holistic healing with clinical expertise. I integrate proven therapeutic tools to help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, and depression. These evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, enable clients to work through past wounds, reframe negative thoughts, and build coping skills that support lasting change. Along with evidence - based practices, I also use mindfulness, meditation and somatic approaches to help clients ground their energy, listen to their bodies and cultivate self-awareness in the present moment. I believe that healing isn’t just about addressing symptoms, it’s about treating the root cause of negative behaviours and lowered sense of self so one can step into a more empowered self. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to help empower you towards making intentional changes. Come in, let’s take the first step in identifying what it is you would like to see different in your life and we can collaboratively formulate a plan to take you from where you are to where you want to be.
