Christina Vasak - RCC, MEd, BEd
Registered Clinical Counsellor | Personal & Professional Growth
Hi, I’m Christina
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Vancouver, BC, and I support women (18+) throughout BC who are used to holding it all together - but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected underneath.
If you’re navigating stress, burnout, life transitions, or questioning who you are and what you want next, therapy can be a space to pause, reconnect, and move forward with more clarity and ease.
My approach isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you feel grounded, confident, and more like yourself again.
My Background
I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in BC. I’m also a mother, former educator, and certified yoga instructor, with a background in leadership across private and non-profit sectors.
I’ve supported women from diverse backgrounds, including:
Young women navigating identity, relationships, and post-secondary life
Mothers balancing caregiving, career, and a changing sense of self
Women and children impacted by domestic violence
Professionals experiencing stress, anxiety, and burnout
How I Work
My style is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness to support both practical change and deeper self-understanding.
Together, we focus on:
Managing stress and feeling more grounded
Building self-worth and confidence
Setting boundaries and navigating relationships
Moving through life transitions with clarity
Why Work With Me
I believe small, meaningful shifts can create real, sustainable change. Therapy offers a space to slow down, be honest about what’s hard, and reconnect with what matters most.
My goal is to help you feel lighter, clearer, and more at home in your body and in your life.
