Can we treat ourselves like a cherished guest? To be welcoming, attentive, kind, understanding, and celebrating inner accomplishments; counsellors can do this with us - show how to do this for ourselves. My name is Michael Vaclavik and I work in private practice in Vancouver. With decades of experience in mindfulness and body awareness, as well as training in Existential Analysis, my style of counseling provides deep and embodied support to help clients address the core of their life experiences. As a trauma-informed counselor, I prioritize safety and validation in my work. I work with individuals in the late-teens to adult range.
I offer support in cultivating a fuller and more authentic life, setting boundaries, setting goals, and communication. I also help my clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, low self-worth, emotions/feelings, mindfulness/grounding/ body-awareness, reconnecting with values, feelings of meaninglessness in life, self-worth, and grief.
I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their experiences and find ways to move forward. If you are struggling with any of these issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to me for support. To get to know you and see if we're a good fit for each other, I offer a free 20-minute consultation.
