✅ Truth: Individual counselling can benefit anyone who wants to navigate life with more clarity and confidence. From career changes and relationship challenges to feelings of anxiety or self-doubt, therapy provides a safe space to reflect, grow, and heal.

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to seek support — sometimes, counselling is simply about understanding yourself better and creating a more balanced, fulfilling life. 💬💚

What is a Phobia?

A phobia is an intense fear of a specific object, situation, or experience — like flying, heights, needles, or public speaking. It’s more than just feeling nervous; a phobia can cause overwhelming anxiety and lead to avoidance that impacts your daily life.

Even if you know the fear doesn’t match the actual danger, it can still feel very real in the moment. The good news? Phobias are treatable. 🧠

At Vancouver Psychology Centre, we offer evidence-based therapies — like Exposure Therapy — to help you face fears at your own pace and feel more in control again. 💚

You don’t need a crisis to make a session “worth it.” In fact, when things are going right, it can be the perfect time to reflect on what’s working, explore what you want more of, and build on the momentum.🧠

Therapy isn’t just about problem-solving—it’s about growth, insight, and keeping your well-being strong, even when life feels calm.🌿

So if you’re wondering, “Should I cancel because I feel okay this week?”—maybe don’t.
There’s always something worth exploring. One of our Clinic Directors Dr. Fry breaks it down.💚

Struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re doing your best through something hard. Healing isn’t linear, and it’s normal to have days that feel like setbacks. What matters is that you keep showing up for yourself, even in small ways. 💚

At Vancouver Psychology Centre, we believe that support can make all the difference. Our compassionate team is here to listen, understand, and help you find the right path forward.

Storytime can be therapy too. 📗

In our child-focused work, we use books to spark important conversations about emotions, relationships, and self-worth. With gentle guidance, stories help kids connect with their inner strengths and develop tools for resilience.

Our goal is to support children in becoming confident, compassionate, and emotionally aware—one story at a time. 💚

Pictured here is one of our co-founders, Dr. Ferrari, flipping through the pages of one of the many children's books used in session here at VPC.

What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?🧠

ACT is a mindfulness-based therapy that helps people learn to accept what’s outside of their control, connect with what truly matters to them, and take action toward a more meaningful life.

Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or feelings, ACT helps you notice and make space for them — while gently shifting your focus toward values-based living. It’s about learning to be present, letting go of the struggle with inner experiences, and moving forward with intention.

ACT can be helpful for:
• Anxiety, depression, and stress
• Life transitions or identity exploration
• Feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed
• Anyone wanting to live with more clarity and purpose

At Vancouver Psychology Centre, we’re happy to offer clinicians who specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helping clients build psychological flexibility and live in alignment with their values.💚

What is Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)?

ODD is a behavioural condition often seen in children and teens, where they frequently show patterns of anger, irritability, stubbornness, and defiance toward authority figures like parents or teachers. It’s more than just typical “testing limits” — these behaviours happen often enough to impact daily life and relationships.

Kids or teens with ODD may struggle with rules, argue a lot, or refuse to follow directions, which can be frustrating for everyone involved.

At Vancouver Psychology Centre, our clinicians provide understanding, compassionate support to help families and young people build better communication, manage behaviours, and improve relationships.💚

At Vancouver Psychology Centre, we know that every child’s journey is unique—and sometimes, therapy looks like getting a little messy, creative, and playful.

Toys like Squigz aren’t just for fun—they help kids engage, regulate emotions, and express themselves in ways that feel natural and safe. 💙

✨ Therapy meets kids where they’re at. Whether it’s through play, art, or conversation, our clinicians create a supportive space for children to explore big feelings and build emotional skills at their own pace.

📞 If your child could benefit from extra support, we’re here to help. Book an appointment today.

Couples counselling isn’t just a last resort — it’s a powerful tool for connection, communication, and growth at any stage of a relationship.

✅ Fact: Many couples come to therapy to:
• Strengthen communication
• Navigate life transitions (like parenting, moving, or career shifts)
• Deepen emotional and physical intimacy
• Work through recurring conflicts
• Build a more connected, resilient partnership

Think of it as relationship maintenance — not just crisis repair.

At VPC, we’re proud to offer clinicians trained in a range of approaches to support couples in building healthier, lasting relationships.💚

This Thanksgiving, we’re reminded of the quiet strength found in gratitude.🍂

Whether it’s a heartfelt note, a moment of reflection, or simply pausing to say “thank you,” these small acts can have a lasting impact on our mental well-being.

At Vancouver Psychology Centre, we believe that gratitude is more than a seasonal sentiment—it’s a powerful tool for connection, healing, and resilience. As we watch the pages turn in The Thank You Book, we're inspired by the simplicity of appreciating what we often overlook.
This weekend, we invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and take stock of the people and moments that bring warmth to your life.

From our team to you—thank you for being part of our community.

Wishing you a meaningful and peaceful Thanksgiving. 🧡
