Meet Erica Nye, a therapist and career counsellor serving Vancouver and 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.

Throughout our work together, I'll meet you where you are—whether you're looking for practical strategies, deeper self-exploration, or a combination of both. I believe that meaningful change happens when we feel truly seen and supported, and I'm committed to creating that space for you. Together, we'll work toward the future you envision, honouring your progress and resilience along the way.

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 professional expertise 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—offering both compassionate support and direct feedback when helpful—because you deserve a therapy experience that makes a real difference in your life.

Empathy

Life's transitions and challenges can feel overwhelming. It's difficult to manage the complexity that comes with making important decisions, balancing relationships and expectations, and navigating personal growth. 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

My counselling journey began in education, where I worked as a school counsellor and post-secondary advisor, supporting individuals through both personal challenges and pivotal life transitions. I now serve as an Adjunct Faculty member at Adler University, teaching Lifestyle and Career Development in the Master of Counselling Psychology program. This role deepens my expertise in helping clients navigate both personal growth and career development—two areas that often intertwine on the path to wellbeing.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two dogs. You'll find me baking, hiking local trails, skiing in winter, practicing pilates, and exploring through travel. These activities ground me and fuel my energy, allowing me to bring a balanced, present approach to our work together.
