Hi there, my name is…

Laurel Miyashita

Registered Provisional Psychologist • she/her

My office is a client-guided place where you can share your experiences at exactly your own pace. 


I am passionate about avoiding assumptions and creating a safe space for exploration, free from judgment. You deserve choice and I will support you as you work toward whatever it is you most desire from therapy. After working as a healthcare professional for many years, my experience has given me a deep awareness of the countless ways that suffering, but also healing, can occur. I work from a humanistic approach to acknowledge people’s strengths, unique experiences and individual truths and meanings. Depending on what fits, this might include various techniques across person-centred, narrative, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioural, or other therapies.

My words to live by are…

“May your choices reflect your hopes not your fear.”

  • Nelson Mandela

When I’m not in my office, you can find me…

Connecting—often over some good coffee. Trying to get active in the outdoors. Reading books, especially memoirs. I also try to bring out my creative side - like trying art and different types of writing.
