Couples & Family
The arguments that go in circles, the silence at the dinner table, the distance between you and the people you love. Therapy can help you find your way back to each other.
Individual Therapy
Anxiety, low mood, trauma, focus, burnout, a hard life change — whatever you’ve been carrying alone. A safe place to set it down and work through it.
Neurofeedback
Drug-free brain training that helps you calm down, focus, and sleep — a powerful option alongside your therapy when you want faster traction.

Who you’re talking to
I’m Sam Ezzatilord. Over 25 years I’ve worked in harm reduction in rural Iran, Veterans’ care with men who survived chemical warfare, refugee mental health with the Red Crescent across Kurdistan and Golestan, and addiction recovery in Vancouver. I’m now a senior Mental Health clinician at BC Health Authority alongside eight psychiatrists.
I won’t be shocked by what you bring me. I understand what it costs to seek help — especially if you come from a community where therapy isn’t a word people say out loud. As an Iranian-Canadian clinician working in both English and Farsi, I’ve sat with that hesitation many, many times.
Couples and families are at the centre of my practice. If your pain involves the people you love, we will talk about them too.

Doctorate-level depth, a therapist’s ear
Doctorate in Health Sciences, with credentials verified by the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC) and the US Federation of State Medical Boards. Sam understands your medications, your sleep, your body — most counsellors simply can’t.
Trauma experience no classroom teaches
Twelve years with the Red Crescent in refugee camps across three countries, then five years with Veterans Affairs Canada. Whatever you’re carrying — he has already seen its edges.
Therapy plus neurofeedback, one practice
One of very few clinicians in BC combining doctoral-level psychotherapy with brain training — for when talking alone hasn’t been enough.
