Stephen Douglas

I have offered support to individuals, couples, and families for over thirty years as a Psychotherapist and family and couples counsellor in private practice. My trauma-informed approach is integrated, drawing upon Gestalt Therapy, Satir Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness. I am licensed as a Registered Clinical Counsellor for clients in British Columbia and as a Registered Psychotherapist for clients in Ontario. I am available for either virtual (online for clients in both Ontario and B.C.) or in-person (in Vancouver) appointments.

I am able to offer a range of therapeutic approaches to cater to the diverse needs of my clients, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy, and couples' (non-violent communication) skill development. I support clients in addressing issues such as anger, anxiety, communication, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, marriage and intimacy, parenting, stress, substance-use dependency, trauma, workplace conflict, work-life balance, and youth concerns. By focusing on creating a supportive and nurturing environment to explore their challenges and work towards positive change, I help my clients gain tools to better manage their emotions, restore a balanced, healthy outlook, and improve their relationships. 

I accord respect to all persons, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, language preference and proficiency, gender identity, sexual orientation, neuro-diversity, ability, political affiliation, or religious or spiritual beliefs, as I continue to learn and practice inclusion, equity, and cultural safety.
