Who We Are
About Ali Afzali

Thank you for considering taking this important step towards better mental health and overall quality of life. As a mental health clinician, my commitment to you begins with our initial contact. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment, using evidence-based strategies developed through extensive research and experience.
Over the past twenty years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and groups across various settings to help them achieve their social and emotional goals. My expertise includes trauma, depression, anxiety, stress management, and navigating the challenges that life can present. I will use this experience to enhance our time together, ensuring that each session is focused on you and your unique needs.
I am trained in a range of therapeutic practices, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Practice, Parts Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Attachment Therapy, among others. My goal is to actively listen and develop a comprehensive and practical plan tailored to your needs.
My personal background also informs my practice. As the child of immigrants who sought safety in Canada, I have learned resilience and perseverance. Today, I am happily married with two teenage boys who affectionately see me as their father, Uber driver (at no cost), and mobile banking machine. I spend a lot of time supporting them at hockey rinks and soccer fields across the lower mainland, and my family and I enjoy exploring the beautiful outdoors of British Columbia. This balance of family life and professional dedication reflects my commitment to hard work and the rewards it brings.
I understand that taking the first step can be challenging. To support you on your journey to improved mental health and wellness, please email me to schedule a confidential, complimentary consultation. This will be an opportunity for you to learn more about me and explore how I can support you in achieving your goals.
I look forward to the possibility of working together.
