We are committed to empowering creative young people to remember who they truly are and re-possess the ability to show up authentically.
Should you choose to engage in therapy with us, here is what you can expect:
Safety
Our counsellors provide a safe space and a safe relationship in which you can re-discover your true self and re-connect with a sense of wholeness and worth. Expect to have your strengths highlighted and used to support with your challenges. Our intention is that your truest creative self may feel both held and free.
Freedom
When you enter trauma therapy, expect to be met with great reverence for your own intuition and agency. It is not important for your therapist to know every detail of your traumas. Our job is to help you move through nervous system blocks so that you may align with your truest self. We work with our clients somatically and often use EMDR Therapy (Google it) to support in the uncovering and amplification of inner resources such as focus, joy, courage and freedom.
Respect
Rather than viewing our clients as flawed, we recognize that each person has the capacity and desire for growth and change. Just as plants naturally reach for sunlight, we all have within us a tendency toward evolution and growth. No matter your history or current external circumstance, we will see you as a whole person with innate worth and will support you in coming back into alignment with the most authentic version of yourself.
Logistics:
Virtual & In-Person Counselling
At this time, we are largely focused on using virtual platforms to provide online trauma therapy services. We offer remote therapy via video sessions to clients located in any part of British Columbia. We also have physical offices in Vancouver, BC for clients who require the privacy of in-person sessions.
Insurance Receipts
Our therapists are registered members of various provincial and national regulatory bodies (e.g., the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association and the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors). Receipts are provided after each counselling session. Contact your insurance company to determine if our services are covered by your plan.
Social Impact
A portion of all proceeds are donated to an organization very dear to our heart,
Watari Counselling & Support Services Society.
