GREENROOM THERAPY
Meet the Team
Maryam
Founder and Owner
Hi! I’m Maryam, and as the founder and owner of Greenroom Therapy I am over the moon to be able to welcome you.
I am a Registered Clinical Counselor, certified EMDR therapist & LENS Neurofeedback Technician serving in Vancouver and its surrounding areas. I established Greenroom Therapy as a safe space for those who are looking to see real, tangible progress in their trauma-healing journey and need a blend of methods in order to get there!
It is my heartfelt belief that therapy is one of the most effective ways to find clarity on your issues and take steps toward healing. As a matter of fact, if you are thinking about talking to someone, you are already on the first step of your healing journey.
The simple, yet difficult act of facing your fears and experiencing vulnerability can be transformative. I am always in awe of the power of the human spirit for healing.
I am currently in the process of creating a team of trauma-informed practitioners to provide their diverse backgrounds and unique visions to the practice.
It's an honor to accompany you on your journey towards healing. I'm excited to collaborate with you and support you every step of the way.
Elham
Clinical Director, Registered Professional Counsellor, and LENS Neurofeedback Technician
Hello! My name is Elham, and I am the Clinical Director, Registered Professional Counsellor and LENS Neurofeedback Technician here at Greenroom Therapy.
I truly believe that everyone is doing their best given the unique circumstances of their lives. However, I also understand that there are times when internal or external barriers prevent people from showing up as they want. When you're constantly caring for others, whether professionally or personally, it can be difficult to carve out the space for your own healing. It’s easy to experience burnout or compassion fatigue, and finding a trauma informed therapist who truly understands your personal journey can be challenging.
I see every individual as having their own distinct path and a meaningful story to tell. You are the expert in your own life and experiences, and I’m here to walk alongside you, offering my knowledge and skills in counselling and mental health to support your growth. Together, we will focus on the goals that matter most to you. We’ll explore the challenges that brought you to therapy, but also celebrate the ways you've already coped and thrived. My goal is to ensure that throughout this process, you feel encouraged, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
Above all, I want you to feel seen, heard, and supported during our time together. My aim is to help you gain a deeper understanding of your own experience, navigate the complexities of being human with compassion, and leave each session with practical strategies to handle life’s challenges, both inside and outside the therapy room.
Nicole
Registered Clinical Counsellor
Hi! I’m Nicole, and I am a registered clinical counsellor at Greenroom Therapy.
I am devoted to guiding individuals on their healing journeys through improving overall wellness and building strong relationships. Grounded in attachment theory, my approach focuses on nurturing self-acceptance and empowerment, particularly in navigating life transitions, relationships, and identity exploration.
As a BIPOC counsellor, creating safe, inclusive spaces where clients feel valued is my priority. My therapeutic toolkit encompasses various modalities like Attachment Theory, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), tailored to each client’s needs and goals.
I have experience working with clients seeking guidance in relationship anxiety, marriage issues, goal setting, building self-esteem and self-confidence, workplace stress, relationship problems, racial identity and issues, life transitions and family-related struggles. I also provide tools to overcome anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, family and relational trauma.
Through authentic attunement, you can expect to feel seen and embraced for who you are in order to take the necessary steps towards positive change. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them face their shadows in order to uncover opportunities for inner growth and expansion.
