Hello and Welcome to Integrate Counselling Vancouver
We are a team of heart-centered therapists – Nate, Ferdie, Spencer, Esther, Khushi and myself – and we bring empathy, warmth and wisdom to this work. We believe that if you feel at ease about who you are on the inside, it improves every aspect of your life – your relationships, your stress level, your work-life, your self-trust and your inner well-being.
If you are here seeking counselling, you may be working through some struggles in one or more areas of your life. Whatever is getting in the way of your sense of ease, we’d love to help.
We provide both in-person and online counselling in Kitsilano Vancouver, as well as group therapy and workshops. We invite you to book a free 15-minute consultation to see how we might be of service to you at this moment in your life.
