ShiftGrit Counselling - Registered Vancouver Counsellor

Vancouver Counselling Services:


Your British Columbia counselor will be interested in identifying your limiting beliefs and how they may “show up” in your day-to-day life. Then, using a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy and bilateral stimulation, your counsellor will help you reprocess traumatic memories and emotions associated with these limiting beliefs, so they will no longer be an overwhelming presence in your life. If you’re looking for East Vancouver Counselling, look no further!

The exposure therapy that ShiftGrit uses called “Bilateral Stimulation” is an empirically supported therapy for addressing the emotional and psychological suffering that might result from a distressing or traumatic life incident or experience. With Bilateral Stimulation , the incident may be desensitized and processed again to diminish its unpleasantness and severity. It operates similarly to how the brain naturally processes information when you are sleeping during REM. One of the beautiful things about Bilateral Stimulation is that you don’t have to go into great detail about the specific issue, circumstance, or occurrence you want to deal with and move through.

FAQ

Therapists are classically educated AND then specially trained in our unique mental health services.

We come armed with a very specific, structured program and our Vancouver therapists will guide you through it step-by-step.  One benefit of working with a directive therapist is that they will orient you to the underlying, causal factors, which avoids getting stuck in surface-level weeds and helps facilitate long-lasting mental health benefits.

Depending on treatment needs and financial circumstances, every client is different, but Shift psychologists typically see their clients once every week or two.

This is a tough one. It’s a little bit like asking a personal trainer how long it will take to bench press 100 pounds. It all depends on personal characteristics, how much work you have to do, how often we see you, how hard you work and how our program clicks with you.  That said, our results are fast and furious for most of our clients, and we tend to attribute this to our structured, outcome-driven therapeutic model.  We don’t have wandering discussions; there’s a goal for each and every session, and we try darn hard to help you reach it.

We do not offer phone consultations with our clinicians, but if you have a question for us, we will always find time to chat. Our Concierge and Front of House Staff are very knowledgeable about our approach and therapy. We want you to be comfortable with your choice of therapist near me and service.

Our Values

ShiftGrit Counselling was developed to address the five main limitations that prevent people from proactively seeking the help of Vancouver counselors to enhance their lives.

ShiftGrit Counselling - Vancouver clinical counsellors

Destigmatize

We seek to destigmatize the profession of counselling. We want clients who are proud of their time here and will be proud to tell their friends and family.

Demystify

We also work to demystify the counselling process. We do this through sharing our knowledge and teaching our language so our clients have a chance to make their own informed decisions.

Creating Accessibility

Creating accessibility through our various podcasts, blogs & technology help our clients get the most out of every session and provides the utmost value from our counselling sessions.

Freedom To Transcend

Taking responsibility for ourselves, our behaviour and the consequences that it has on our lives and the lives of others around us. We don’t have to live by anyone’s predefined ideas about who we should be provided we remain accountable.

ShiftGrit Counselling - Vancouver clinical counsellor

Truth Over Comfort

When we remain accountable to ourselves in life transitions then we are also able to demand that out of others. This has a stabilizing, “win-win” effect on our relationships. Those around us know where we stand and learn to expect the truth out of us.
