Ms Mahvash Derakhshan

Professional Counselor

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors and an Affiliate Somatic Therapy practitioner with the center of Mindfulness-Based Somatic Therapy (MBST), and Somatic Release Breathwork (SRB). I bring over 35 years of experience in the field of Mental Health.

About Me

I am a Professional Counselor in Burnaby, British Columbia, licensed as a Counsellor. I help you manage anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. I use somatic psychotherapy to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills.

Approach

If you feel stuck, drained, lost, numb, and find it difficult to feel joy and happiness; if you feel the tension that is constantly activated and stealing your energy away; and if you feel exhausted and unmotivated; there is a great chance that you carry some undigested and repressed emotions and experiences. If Trauma is left unattended, it could diminish the quality of life. If you feel that life handed you more than you can handle, it can be paralyzing.

If that is how you feel and where you are, then allow me to hold a safe space for you to digest and release your repressed emotions and experiences. Through a holistic approach, I empower you to take a proactive role in your healing process as you gain control over your nervous system and consequently your life.
