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.
Yosra
Registered Clinical Counsellor
Hi! I’m Yosra, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) at Greenroom Therapy.
I support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, and other forms of neurodivergence—such as Autism, Dyslexia, and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Whether you’re looking to heal from the past, manage overwhelming emotions, or deepen your self-understanding, I’m here to support you.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and specialize in somatic-based therapy approaches that help you reconnect with your body and regulate your nervous system. I also bring formal training in yoga and Pilates, allowing me to integrate body-based techniques that support nervous system healing and emotional awareness.
My counselling style is neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based. I work with adults of all backgrounds—whether you’re experiencing anxiety, recovering from trauma, or simply seeking a space to feel seen and understood. You don’t need to fit any label to benefit from therapy.
Together, we can build meaningful strategies for resilience, connection, and self-compassion as you move toward greater clarity and wellbeing.
Melissa
Registered Clinical Counsellor
Hi! I’m Melissa, a Registered Clinical Counsellor at Greenroom Therapy.
I am a passionate and curious trauma therapist, committed to fostering a warm, nurturing, and playful environment. I am here to compassionately witness, listen, and support you as you embark on your personal journey to wholeness.
As a BIPOC female settler of 2nd-generation East Asian descent with ADHD, I bring lived experience and cultural sensitivity to my trauma-informed practice. I specialize in helping people heal from past wounds, overcome emotional barriers, and reconnect with their authentic selves.
I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and LENS neurofeedback. I work closely with you to understand your nervous system and address the root causes of emotional and physical distress. By targeting these underlying patterns, we aim for long-lasting resolution and meaningful healing rather than short-term symptom relief.
With a holistic and attachment-focused framework, we’ll explore your relationships, foster self-compassion, and help you break free from patterns that no longer serve you. I aim to guide you toward a life filled with growth, resilience, and connection.
