Couples therapy in Vancouver

My wife and I have profited greatly from couples counselling sessions with Stephanie. She is an excellent listener, but also challenges us to reframe our assumptions. We always feel calmed after a session and more able to open up to each other. I would highly recommend working with Stephanie if you have the chance.

Stephanie Beck is an incredible therapist. Has a very positive, enthusiastic vibe that is very welcoming. Shares a genuine interest in her clients and wellbeing. She has been and continues to be the woman I have always needed. I look forward to my appointments.😁 Working on my 2nd year, and I am starting to notice changes in my thinking patterns and mindset. Anyone looking for counseling should definitely try her. Never disappoints.

Sangeeta is a wonderful counsellor. Prior to starting therapy, I was hesitant and did not know what to expect. During the first session I immediately felt at ease. She is knowledgeable, patient and so easy to talk to. I appreciate her non-judgemental and inquisitive attitude and practical straight forward tools. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of relationship / marriage counselling.

Thrive clinic is a special place. You can tell how much love and care the team has for their clients. I met Jess at a difficult time in my life. She created a space filled with warmth and safety, a place I felt comfortable to be vulnerable in. She cares deeply about her clients and brings her thoughtfulness and intelligence into every session. Through our sessions she’s helped me learn how to love every part of myself, to have skills outside our sessions to regulate my emotions and to help process blocks that have been holding me back in life. I can’t recommend Thrive enough. My time with Jess has changed my life and I’ll forever be grateful to her and the clinic.

I have been doing counselling sessions with Giulia since June 2022 (25 sessions, 24 of which were online and 1 in person session). I never got past the introductory session with anyone else when I tried counselling before. Giulia is very caring and understanding, while telling the truth and pointing out things that I failed to notice on my own. If you are considering counselling, it really does make an impact when you seriously give it a try. My life has improved quite dramatically in the past year. I am so glad that I made the decision to finally prioritize my mental health and change my behaviours. I always look forward to my sessions with Giulia and I highly recommended talking to Giulia.

I'll echo everyone else's extremely positive comments: Thrive is great. The process of being matched with someone is smooth and easy, the administrative side of things just works, but most importantly, the people are outstanding. I've worked with both Giulia and Serena and would recommend that anyone who thinks that they might benefit from talking to someone reach out. I'm very glad that I did. (Also, Serena's dog is super cute and you might get to meet him.)

My daughter met with Sara for the first time last week and she had the biggest smile on her face after meeting with her. My daughter keeps telling me how much she liked Sara. I can tell Sara made my daughter feel very comfortable from the moment she met her. I am thrilled to find someone my daughter can talk to and a bonus that she enjoys it and looks forward to her next meeting as well!

Julie was very great at listening, interpreting the issue and providing the solutions. Easy to talk to, open and honest.

I felt listened to, welcomed and certainly not as if I was being fixed. I felt Accepted

I don't have experience with Elaine, she seems wonderful from all these reviews, but I do have experience with one of the other team members - Stephen. Stephen made me feel like I was a fascinating subject to be dissected, not a person with whom he was trying to work with. He repeatedly tried to push past a boundary I established with something I didn't' want to talk about in the first session and ignored my husband's point of view and opinion of the situation. The only positive thing about that session was that my husband and I were drawn closer together by the awful experience we had.

My experience with Elaine at ClearHeart helped my strike at the root of my problems. She is brilliant , compassionate and best of all, curious. I think the world of her, and if you are every able to get an appointment with her, you will too.

Elaine is a very kind person with a warm and calming presence. She is strong yet approachable and is the best mix of everything you're looking for. She is fantastic at what she does, and is an expert in her field. I highly recommend working with her and I enjoy our sessions together. I walk away and try to work on things we have discovered. It has helped me a lot!

I worked with David Holmes three years ago. He paid close attention to our struggles and provided helpful tools I still use today. I appreciated that he followed up after our session and gave us something to work with between our sessions. I felt heard and also challenged! He gave us a lot to think about and reflect on.

I have been seeing David Holmes weekly for over a year now and have had nothing but a fantastic experience. David's methods really seem to click with me and I have experienced a total change in my emotional well-being. I feel I have the tools to better understand myself and others, all thanks to David. I have and will continue to recommend David to my friends and family.

Clear Counselling has a great, comfortable atmosphere matched with really caring and skilled counselors. I feel well supported and empowered on my mental health journey and have no hesitation in referring friends and family to Joe Ramirez and his colleagues at Clear Counselling. I particularly like that they have different areas of expertise that can help with a variety of client's needs.
