Downtown Vancouver Counselling
Heal your relationship with yourself.
Therapy to understand yourself better, learn to build healthy relationships, and restore your spark.
Our mission is to remind you that you make sense, you are not broken, and that connection heals.
Welcome to Thrive Counselling Center
Since 2013, our mission has been to help clients towards being their full, authentic selves. With this, we have seen that symptoms of depression, anxiety and traumatic distress transform—these being the side effects of living outside of who we truly are.
What allows this? The fact that our therapists are not performing the role. They are genuine, down-to-earth people who have done the work themselves. They put you at ease while you transform your greatest struggles into hope and purpose (no big deal).
Choose to Thrive
When we haven’t cleaned up leftover feelings from overwhelming times in life, they stack up. This leads to irritated, tired-but-wired anxiety and foggy depressive numbness. We may lose years of life on autopilot.
You aren’t broken though—this is just your body working hard to manage stress. We’re here to restore peace with effective therapies like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy.
Our team is diverse, representing a range of culture, gender expression, lifestyle and sexuality. We believe in freedom to be exactly who we are and are delighted to help you towards that same expressive freedom.
Thrive is here to empower you with knowing that you are whole.
This isn’t an empty statement! We mean that your body is brilliant and has been doing its best to find balance. Our job is just to nudge things so your inner wisdom starts to properly guide your health.
We are proud to provide science-informed therapy in down-to-earth human language. You will never be judged. Only cared for exactly how you are.
