CBT Therapists in Burnaby

Hi! I'm Maddie, I'm a Registered Social Worker providing in person and virtual services in the lower mainland. I specialize in supporting women who are seeking to reach their goals, overcome obstacles, and create healthier relationships with themselves and others. I believe that every woman has a unique story and possesses the strength, knowledge, and resilience to achieve positive change. My approach to therapy is grounded in trust, compassion, and connection, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where women can explore their experiences and emotions. My work is holistic and integrative, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, as well as mindfulness techniques to strengthen the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I cater my approach to the needs and goals of each client, and I am committed to developing long-lasting relationships with each person I work with. Whether you are new to therapy or seeking a fresh perspective, I am dedicated to supporting women in their journey towards healing, growth, and self-discovery.

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.

I’m Ellen, and I am currently completing my Masters degree in Counselling Psychology with Yorkville University. Given my educational background in Kinesiology, my counselling lens has been shaped by my work as a strength coach, an Olympic weightlifting coach, and as a Registered Kinesiologist. Spending seven years so far in these roles has deepened my understanding of the intricate connection between physical and mental health. I am a strong advocate for both as equally important forms of healing, and I am especially passionate about helping individuals reconnect to their somatic experiences and felt sense. Over the years, I have had the honour and privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds with issues including chronic pain, self-esteem, body image, identity, and imposterism. As a proud Taiwanese-Canadian woman and second generation immigrant, I also aim to support bicultural individuals by helping them navigate cultural and intergenerational challenges, expanding on their cultural narratives, and drawing on their unique cultural strengths and perspectives. In my work as an Olympic Weightlifting coach, I have also worked closely with youth and teen athletes on issues including performance anxiety, perfectionism, and belonging. As a counsellor, my approach is rooted in cultural humility, compassion, and curiosity. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, empathetic, and grounded clinician who works alongside you in collaborative exploration. I understand the importance of giving voice to your experiences and I hold space for you to show up as you are. I firmly believe in your internal wisdom and your capacity for self-actualization. Together, we can cultivate your natural intuition, strengths, and resources to help you feel empowered and embodied in your true self.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in the beautiful Vancouver, Canada. As someone who grew up with minimal exposure to mental health and living under the pressures of being "perfect," I've learned different ways to reframe, extend compassion, and embrace mistakes. Outside of counselling, I'm also an avid lover of video games, ultimate frisbee, and all things food.

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.
