Dr. Sharon Jeyakumar, Registered Psychologist
Dr. Sharon Jeyakumar is a Registered Psychologist in Burnaby with over 15 years of clinical experience helping adults, teens and couples navigate anxiety, depression, grief and life transitions. She is known locally for blending evidence-based therapies, especially cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and emotion-focused work, with practical tools clients can use between sessions. People come to her for clear strategies and steady support, not quick fixes.
Her practice offers individual therapy, couples counselling, and specialised grief support. Dr. Sharon provides structured CBT for anxiety and panic, exposure-based work for phobias, and prolonged bereavement therapy informed by recent research. She also offers workplace mental health consultations for small businesses, and runs a monthly group on stress management limited to eight participants to keep it personal. Sessions are 50 minutes, available in-person at her Burnaby office or online across British Columbia. She accepts several extended health plans and provides detailed receipts for reimbursement.
What sets Dr. Sharon apart is how she works with people. She uses measurable goals, session summaries and simple homework tools so progress is visible. Expect an initial assessment that takes about 90 minutes, a collaboratively developed plan, and regular check-ins every 4 to 6 weeks to adjust treatment. Dr. Sharon publishes practical handouts and uses outcome measures to track change. She is registered with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia and holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology, plus additional training in trauma-informed care.
Locally, Dr. Sharon is active in Burnaby community talks on mental health, and frequently partners with neighbourhood clinics and employee assistance programs. People choose her because she listens, explains options plainly, and provides realistic steps toward feeling better.
