offering in person and virtual individual and couples therapy in vancouver, and across BC!
At Centrepoint Psychotherapy we are skilled at helping you break free from self doubt, procrastination, and paralysis, so you can live your life to the fullest!
Are you burnt out from putting excessive pressure on yourself to perform and please others?
Have you tried traditional talk therapy and found it ineffective to defeat self destructive cycles that hold your love for yourself and others hostage?
Life is unpredictable, and painful experiences can hit us without warning.
Whether you’ve been blindsided by a recent event, or want help to get out of a long term rut, you need a skilled, compassionate Therapist on your side.
We can help you make sense of where you are, how you got here, and where you want to go.
We provide:
-
- a warm, non-judgemental space where you will feel deeply seen and understood.
- effective treatment to relieve anxiety and depression, and restore your confidence and motivation
- help to navigate issues that threaten your relationships
- compassion and clarity on how your history has shaped the patterns you want to change
- a powerful, collaborative partnership for positive change!
We would be honoured to walk with you on your healing journey!
