Tanya Heal

Children carrying things they can’t yet name, teenagers navigating pressure from every direction, adults stuck at a crossroads — these are the people Tanya Heal built her practice around. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Burnaby, BC, she works across a wide range of ages and concerns, from young children learning to cope with big feelings to adults managing depression, anxiety, burnout, grief, and the strains of relationships and work.

With younger clients, Tanya draws on play, art, and storytelling to create conditions where children can open up at their own pace. With adolescents and adults, she brings the same patient, relationship-first orientation while drawing flexibly on different therapeutic approaches to fit what each person actually needs. She works with survivors of abuse, individuals facing addiction, those dealing with mood disorders and developmental challenges, and anyone wrestling with career or life transitions.

Tanya’s approach centers on the belief that clients are capable of becoming their own agents of change — her role is to listen closely, build genuine trust, and help people move toward the lives they want. Sessions are available in person in South Burnaby and by video or telephone for those who prefer remote access.
