Chroma Counselling

Chroma is the Greek word for colour which represents the full spectrum of sexuality, gender, ethnic and cultural diversity of the people we support. Chroma Counselling facilitates an inclusive and multicultural perspective to help clients examine their worldview as the framework for therapy and to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone to explore their true colours.

What sets Chroma Counselling apart?

Chroma Counselling distinguishes itself through a combination of factors. First, we offer In-Person counselling at our Downtown Vancouver office 7 days a week. We recognize the value and the importance of face-to-face connections. Alternatively, we are well-versed in providing online therapy sessions for convenience. Moreover, our team consists of highly qualified Master's level therapists with substantial experience and training to assist you with your mental health concerns. Additionally, we prioritize providing an outstanding client experience by paying careful attention to detail. From our user-friendly website and streamlined online booking system to the thoughtfully designed office space located in Downtown Vancouver, we strive to provide the best possible service for our clients.

Our counselling approach

As therapists in Vancouver, we are dedicated to helping you address your concerns and issues and focus on what’s important to you. We do this on your terms and at your pace. Through an effective, non-judgemental, therapeutic relationship, we help you examine the different areas of your life and help you make practical and meaningful changes.

Come as you are

Everyone is unique, therefore our struggles, issues and concerns are unique as well. We respect and honour your individual perspective and the context surrounding your life. Whether your concerns are big or small, or you aren’t even sure what the problem is, we can help you find clarity and balance.

You know you’re right

You know yourself better than anyone else. In our counselling work together, you are the expert in your own life. Together, we see what is working for you and what is not and help you make meaningful and lasting changes.

Something in the way

We believe that counselling should be affordable and accessible to everyone. We offer competitive rates for our services and reduced rates to individuals who cannot afford the standard fees. Our services include flexible evenings and weekend appointments and online video counselling.

How therapy works at Chroma

Step-by-Step to Therapy

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming.

Whether you are meeting us in person for counselling in Downtown Vancouver or connecting  online, here is what you can expect from your healing journey.

Connection & Consultation

Before your first full session, we can start with a free 15-minute phone or video consultation. This is a casual, low-pressure space for you to share a bit about what brings you to counselling, ask questions about our approach, and ensure we are the right fit for your unique needs. We will help match you with the right professional, whether you need a BIPOC therapist in Vancouver, an anti-oppressive counsellor, or a specialist in trauma therapy, we are here for you.

2

Assessment & Goal Setting

Your journey truly begins with an initial session. Together, we will look at the bigger picture of your life—exploring your history, current challenges, and what a meaningful life looks like to you. We approach this through a culturally sensitive, inclusive, and trauma-informed lens, tailoring our plan specifically to you, whether you are seeking anxiety counselling, depression therapy, or 2SLGBTQIA+ counselling, we can assist you with a variety of concerns.

3

Action & Collaborative Healing

This is the core of the therapeutic process. In your regular 50-minute or 80-minute sessions, we will work safely and at your own pace. Depending on your goals, this might involve learning grounding tools for stress and depression, processing past trauma, utilizing expressive art therapy, or exploring gender and sexuality in a deeply validating space.

4

Reflection & Growth

Therapy isn't meant to last forever. Periodically, we will pause to look back at how far you’ve come, evaluate your progress, and adjust our approach. As you build resilience, achieve your goals, and feel fully equipped for the future, we will discuss transitioning to less frequent check-ins or concluding your sessions. If budget is a concern at any stage, we also offer low-cost counselling in Vancouver through our supervised intern counsellors to ensure continuous support.
