Hi there, my name is Alishia. I am a strength based multicultural Registered Clinical Counsellor with extensive experience in treating mental health. I work with Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Autism, grief, women issues such as infertility, traumatic births, NICU experiences or other postpartum difficulties. I work with all ages including children, youth, adults and seniors. I have years of experience working at Child and Youth Mental Health and with adult mental health and trauma. I am registered to work with ICBC and CVAP clients and am able to do direct billing.
The relationship between counsellor and client is one of the biggest predictors of change. Therefore my practice is deeply relational. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), somatic techniques, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Expressive Play Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness techniques.
I strive to create a safe, nonjudgemental space so that we can safely explore healing. Counselling sessions with me are challenging, insightful, motivating and fun! I adapt my approach to meet my clients needs as I understand the therapeutic journey is unique for each individual. Reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are the right fit.

I am a holistic therapist and believe it's not a one size fits all for therapy. That's why I love school. I do as much training as I can so that I can pull from my growing toolkit and offer various modalities to my clients. I love working with EMDR, trauma somatic approaches and inner child work. I also have extensive experience working with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and ERP.
