A Safe Place To Land—EMDR Therapy for Palestinians Vancouver
If you’re Palestinian and living in Vancouver, you might be carrying more than just memories—your body might still be holding the trauma. Are you easily startled, waking in a sweat from nightmares, feeling on edge, emotionally raw, or completely shut down? These are common signs of primary trauma.
You might also be living with the slower burn of secondary trauma—the disorientation of unacknowledged injustice, the quiet rage of being gaslit for caring, the sorrow of seeing loved ones harmed while you feel helpless abroad.
At Thrive, I am currently offering EMDR therapy for Palestinians in Vancouver as a culturally aware, trauma-informed way to begin healing. This isn’t just therapy—it’s a safe place to be seen, heard, and felt without judgment.

A Personal Connection
My heart is with Palestinians and their families. I’ve felt the hollow fear of watching violence on the news and texting family to see if they’re okay. I’ve experienced the silence that follows when no one answers right away. I’ve lived through war—civil war in Lebanon, the Gulf War in Kuwait, the bombings in Beirut. I know what it means to carry that invisible weight.
And I know the unique pain of hearing, “You’re safe now,” only to feel censored, invisible, or alone in your new country. That’s why I offer EMDR therapy for Palestinians Vancouver—to support those navigating this silent storm.
If you’ve been carrying trauma related to Palestine—whether personal, ancestral, or collective—consider booking an appointment for EMDR therapy created with Palestinians in Vancouver in mind.
Hi, I'm Marwan Noueihed — RCC.
I have spent the last many years studying different methods of counselling while doing my own work to grow as a person. These days, my focus is helping you to:
- Learn skills to get unstuck
- Make major life decisions
- Rewire deeply held negative beliefs
- Understand yourself
- Improve relationships by working toward secure attachment
- Grow post trauma
Why EMDR Works
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the most effective ways to help your brain and body process trauma. Using alternating stimulation (often eye movements), EMDR helps “unstick” traumatic memories so you can move forward.
For the past five years, I’ve used EMDR with trauma survivors and refugees in Vancouver. It’s fast, deep, and doesn’t require you to retell your entire story. You’re in control every step of the way.
