Overwhelming anxiety can make it difficult to get tasks done, form relationships, and make decisions.Let go of the constant comparison.
Self-esteem is a measure of our worth. Perfectionism and imposter syndrome are examples of never feeling good enough for love, attention, and success. The path to healthy self-esteem is to know we are no better or worse than anyone else.Reconnect with your vitality.

Anger is not the only emotion that can feel out of control. We invite you to befriend your emotional self and find healthy expression.Difficulty focusing and disengaging.
ADHD is a challenge of extremes. These difficulties may seem the opposite, but ADHD lies at both ends of this focusing continuum. Making planning, following through and initiating hard for folks with ADHD.Reclaim your power.
Recovering from a relationship involving narcissistic manipulation and abuse addresses: confusion about being abused at all, believing you are too sensitive, overreacting, imagining things, and lack of trust in your judgments and perceptions.A relationship of genuine connection.
We believe in the power of human connection. We aim to bring our shared humanity and understanding of the complexities of life to our relationship with you. Together, we’ll go with you beyond diagnosis and symptoms to connect with all parts of you. With humility and compassion, we’ll be honest with you in your search for the truth about your experience.
We believe in transformation, not quick fixes.
In each moment, we listen to what is at the root of your struggle. We are interested in the context of your experiences rather than labelling you as the problem. We know it takes time to transform the survival strategies that keep us fearful and ashamed. We also know that each moment has the potential to reveal something new on that journey.
A focus on experiential.
We understand how easy it is to try to find solutions with our intellect. While we honour how important our intellect serves us, we also know that deep transformation can only happen once we connect with our emotional and somatic experiences. We invite our clients to slow down, get to know these aspects of themselves and integrate them into the whole.
At Turning Point Therapy, our therapists are carefully selected for their extensive experience, advanced skills, and commitment to our core values. These values guide our practice and ensure a supportive, inclusive environment for every client:
Our therapists offer choices in their different styles, approaches and availability. Our personal experiences of healing help us to know the process from both sides. We offer in-person individual counselling and couples counselling in Vancouver and virtually across BC.
Many extended health benefit plans cover the services of Registered Clinical Counsellors and Canadian Certified Counsellors. Please contact your service provider to inquire about your specific plan before booking any services. An official receipt will be provided after each session to be submitted for reimbursement. We do not offer direct billing at this time. Clients are responsible for paying for session fees upfront.
Other funding for which some of our therapists are registered include CVAP and ICBC; contact our admin for other inquiries.
Fees vary depending on which therapist you see and what type of service you seek (couples are charged slightly more than individuals). Our rates range from $140 – $180 per 50-minute session for registered counsellors. The therapist’s experience and training will be a factor. Refer to therapists’ bios for specific information.
Our low-cost counselling rate is $60 per 50 minutes. Intern counsellors are closely supervised as they finish their training with us. Intern fees can not be claimed from extended benefits.
We work with adult clients (age 18+) of all different backgrounds, political affiliations, genders, and sexual orientations. We are feminist, antiracist and LGBQT+ allies. We work with partnerships of all kinds, including monogamy, polyamory and Consensual Non Monogamy. We work with family relationships. We provide in-person counselling in Vancouver and virtual counselling across all of BC.
We require 48 hours’ notice for appointment cancellation or rescheduling to avoid being charged for the session. Sessions with less than 48 hours’ notice are subject to be billed at half of the session fee; sessions with less than 24 hours and no-shows are charged the full session fee. There is no penalty for changing an in-person to a virtual session, even at the last minute. You will not be charged if your therapist can book another client for that spot.
Please note that the policy is not dependent on the reason for the late cancellation, including illness, traffic, or emergencies.
You can use our online booking system to cancel or reschedule your appointment before the late cancellation period. For late cancellations, you can email, text or leave a voicemail.
We work therapeutically with you in session, which is confidential. Contact outside the sessions is less confidential via email (there is the possibility of being hacked). For this reason, we encourage clients to limit personal or therapeutic material to sessions as much as possible. Texting is the fastest way to contact your therapist but it is not confidential (it is open to all therapists at the practice). We, therefore, limit texting to booking information and changes in appointments.
Taking the first step to reach out to a therapist can be daunting. We understand the uncertainty and vulnerability you may be feeling. We know the longer you wait, the less likely those feelings will be eased.
Getting over the hump is always the hardest part.
Which is why we do everything to make that as easy as possible.
Choose the option below that feels the most comfortable. You may have a question you need answering, or you want a no-pressure meeting to see how you feel with a therapist. If you want to book your appointment instantly, use our easy online booking system.
Are you ready to explore what’s possible?
After reading our therapist’s bios, perhaps you are drawn to one or two, but you want to double-check. No problem!
You’re ready to get going and know who you want to work with.
