Meet Erica Nye, therapist for young adults in Vancouver & across BC.

I’ll meet you where you are & help you find where you want to go. 

Life keeps moving, but you’re not sure where it’s taking you.

    • Struggling to find a career path that’s right for you

    • Feeling lonely, disconnected, or frustrated with your relationships

    • Eager to understand yourself on a deeper level

    • Depressed and unmotivated in some—or all—areas of your life

    • Stressed and overwhelmed as you try to live up to your family’s expectations


    It can be exhausting to keep up appearances or to try and merge the person you are with who you're "supposed" to be.

You're not alone in this. 

These feelings and experiences can be incredibly isolating, and it’s easy to feel lost in the process. Whether it's the desire to find clarity, feel more connected to yourself and others, or simply to stop feeling so stuck—there is a way forward. In our work together, we can explore these challenges, uncover your true desires, and help you build a life that feels genuine, fulfilling, and uniquely yours.

How I Work

Professional expertise with a personal approach.

In our sessions, you'll find a collaborative and supportive environment where your experiences are honoured and truly understood. I take intentional time to get to know you, explore your history, and clarify your goals for therapy. As we move forward, I’ll help you recognize and address unhelpful thought patterns, often using cognitive-behavioural techniques, and offer strategies tailored to your unique situation—advancing your career, finding a better work-life balance, navigating relationship challenges, or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression.

With my background in both personal and career counselling, I’m able to address both the internal and external factors that influence your well-being. Personal counselling can help you manage emotional challenges, build resilience, and create healthier relationships, while career counselling provides the tools to navigate professional decisions, improve work-life balance, and achieve your career goals. Together, these can allow you to build a balanced, holistic path forward—helping you feel more grounded in your personal life and empowered in your professional path.

You can feel comfortable being yourself here and taking things at a pace that’s right for you. While encouraging you to give yourself grace, I’ll also highlight the ways you’ve grown. When we’re caught up in the day-to-day, it’s easy to miss our own progress—so we’ll always make sure to celebrate it together.

My approach is flexible, adapting to your needs as we work together to create a path forward that feels authentic and empowering. I’m here to support you in the pursuit of that path because I believe in your ability to find it. 

You’re not “behind”—this is only the beginning.

My Specialties

Cultural Sensitivity & Understanding

Drawing from my own heritage and experiences, I provide a supportive space for you to explore the unique challenges that come with balancing personal, professional, and cultural expectations. I understand the complexities of navigating family pressures, identity, and career paths, especially for those from Asian and other racialized communities. Together, we can work through these challenges to help you find clarity, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Core Values

Expertise

I bring years of experience and specialized training to help you navigate the challenges you're facing in your relationships, career, and beyond. Together, we'll work through what feels overwhelming and find what you're seeking with specific steps and tools catered to what you need.

Authenticity

Our sessions are a space for honesty where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment and knowing I’ll do the same. I believe in being real with you because you deserve a therapy experience that makes a real difference in your life.

Empathy

Young adulthood is not an easy phase of life. It’s difficult to manage the complexity that comes with making decisions, balancing family expectations, and everything in between. I’ll validate what you’re experiencing and offer an environment that’s safe and welcoming.

Action

Along with being understood and heard in your challenges, I focus on helping you take meaningful steps forward. As we explore your feelings together, you’ll learn how to take action and make progress toward your goals with practical strategies for lasting change. 

My Background

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two dogs. I love baking, hiking, skiing, pilates, and traveling—these are the things that keep me grounded and energized. They’re a big part of what helps me bring a balanced, holistic approach to my work, too.

I’ve worked extensively in education, beginning as a school counselor and post-secondary advisor. Currently, I’m an Adjunct Faculty member at Adler University, where I teach Lifestyle and Career Development in the Master of Counselling Psychology program and assist with Admissions Interviews. This role has been an incredibly rewarding part of my career.
