You’ve been carrying this long enough — Vancouver counselling, therapy & neurofeedback in English & Farsi
Whether it’s anxiety that won’t let you breathe, a relationship that’s gone quiet in the wrong way (couples counselling Vancouver can help), the weight of rebuilding life in a new country, or something you can’t even name yet — you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Most people come in carrying something heavy and leave sleeping better, breathing easier, and feeling less alone with it.
Your first 20 minutes with Dr. Samuel are completely free, confidential, and with no pressure. No forms. No commitment. Just a real conversation.
Not sure what to say when you call? Just say “I saw your website.” That’s enough. You don’t need to have it figured out to take this step.
Farsi-speaking therapy in Vancouver — sessions in English or Persian (فارسی), with deep understanding of Iranian-Canadian family dynamics, immigration grief, intergenerational trauma, and bicultural identity. Trauma-informed, ICBC- and FNHA-approved, working with refugees, veterans, and newcomers since 2005.
When you keep having the same fight.
وقتی یک دعوای تکراری تمومی نداره.
When your mind won’t switch off.
وقتی ذهنت یک لحظه آروم نمیگیره.
When everything feels heavy and you’re running on empty.
وقتی همهچیز سنگینه و انگار توانت ته کشیده.
When what happened still has a grip on you.
وقتی گذشته هنوز رهات نمیکنه.
Can’t start, can’t finish, can’t sit still.
نه میتونی شروع کنی، نه تموم کنی، نه یکجا بند بشی.
Holding it together for everyone but yourself.
حواست به همه هست، جز خودت.
When you react in ways you later regret.
وقتی جوری واکنش نشون میدی که بعدش پشیمون میشی.
Life after someone — or something — is gone.
زندگی بعد از رفتن کسی، یا از دست دادن چیزی.
Exhausted, but wide awake at 3am.
خستهای، ولی ساعت سه شب هنوز بیداری.
Retrain your brain — not just talk about it.
فقط گفتوگو نیست؛ مغز رو از ریشه آموزش میدیم.
In your own language, with someone who truly understands.
به زبان خودت، با کسی که واقعاً درکت میکنه.
Rebuilding a life — and a self — in a new country.
ساختنِ دوبارهی یک زندگی، و یک «خود»، در سرزمینی تازه.
Your first 20 minutes are genuinely free — no commitment, no sales pitch, no pressure to book a session. Just an honest conversation answering whatever you’d like to ask: about therapy, neurofeedback, fees, scheduling, or my approach. You leave the call knowing more, with zero expectation that you’ll book anything.
بیست دقیقهی اول کاملاً رایگان و بدون هیچ تعهدی است — نه فروشی، نه فشاری برای رزرو جلسه. فقط یک گفتگوی صادقانه برای پاسخ به پرسشهای شما دربارهی درمان، نوروفیدبک، هزینهها یا روش کار من. هیچ انتظاری برای رزرو وجود ندارد.
Why Choose Dr. Samuel? / چرا دکتر سموئل؟
I became a therapist because I know what it means to carry things quietly. I’ve sat with people who survived war, displacement, and trauma I’ve witnessed firsthand in refugee camps and veterans’ clinics across three countries. And I’ve sat with people who feel they have no “good reason” to feel the way they do. Both matter equally to me.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), with a Doctorate in Health Sciences (LMCC & FSMB-verified in Canada and the USA) and a Post-doctoral Master’s in Counselling Psychology. I work with 50+ active clients at Fraser Health Authority and have spent 10+ years specializing in Trauma & PTSD. As an Iranian-Canadian clinician, I understand deeply what it means to navigate cultural identity, family dynamics, and the weight of immigration. You won’t need to explain yourself to me.
I’m one of very few therapists in BC who combines Neurofeedback brain-training with therapy — offering lasting results for anxiety, ADHD, sleep disorders, and PTSD.
