Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed or completely stuck?
Hi, I’m Dr. Janice Stuart. Searching for a psychologist in Vancouver can be an intimidating and confusing process. However, I hope information here will make it easier to decide whether I’m the right therapist for you.
How I approach counselling
I provide counselling and psychotherapy (both online and in my downtown Vancouver office**) for adults with anxiety, trauma/PTSD, depression, stress, relationship problems and more. The approaches I use include: Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (‘EMDR’ where appropriate). My holistic and integrative approach takes your personal processing style into consideration. For example, I’ll take advantage of any mind-body interactions whenever they arise during your therapy sessions.
What my clients are telling me
In my daily practice as a Vancouver psychologist, I often hear from clients how hard their journey has been. It can be painful and frustrating, and in times of adversity, difficult and distressing. It’s often impossible to deal with these kinds of problems on you own.

If these are the kind of issues you’re facing, I can help.
