Meet Our Team
At Vancouver island therapy our team is made up of compassionate, highly trained clinicians who are dedicated to supporting your mental health and overall well-being. We believe that healing happens within safe, respectful, and collaborative relationships, and we are committed to meeting you exactly where you are.
Each member of our counselling team brings unique experience, perspectives, and clinical strengths. We work with individuals, couples, children, and families, and offer support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and more. While our approaches may differ, we share a common commitment to ethical practice, evidence-based care, and genuine human connection.
We understand that choosing a counsellor is an important and personal decision. Our clinicians take the time to get to know you, honour your lived experience, and tailor therapy to your goals, values, and needs. Whether you are seeking short-term support or longer-term counselling, we strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.
We are proud to be a collaborative team that values ongoing learning, cultural humility, and professional growth. Together, we work to ensure that every client receives thoughtful, high-quality care in a welcoming and supportive environment.
We look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth
