Hello, and welcome! My name is Anat and I am a registered social worker and a clinical counsellor. I believe in a client-centered and compassionate approach to healing that positions a client’s worldview, culture and social location as important parts of who they are. I have a background in mental health and addictions, and have supported people as they work towards healing and balance in the midst of various life challenges, including: young adulthood, life transitions, family conflict, sense of purposelessness/hopelessness, challenges in post-secondary education, and parenting a child with mental illness and addiction.

Life is stressful and at times feel difficult to manage. Having someone to talk to who is non-judgmental, validating, empathetic, as well as skilled with evidence-based strategies to assist you can be beneficial. During our first few visits my priority will be listening to your story to understand who you are and learn how you see and experience the world. Then, though inquiry, exploration, and observation we collaborate to view your challenges from various angles. Finally, we co-create a suitable path forward while ensuring you feel safe, heard, seen, and valued throughout the entire process.

Therapy can be an opportunity to bring awareness to your unconscious patterns, to discover where you have choice and to connect to your authentic self. Therapy is one way you turn towards yourself, this can be challenging when we’ve spent a life time turning away. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path.

As humans, we have all needed other people to share life’s journey with me in all its hope and hurt, awe and agony, wonder and wisdom. If you are in a space of curiosity, feeling like you would benefit from support to explore and deepen your personal and/or professional challenges, change deeply held patterns that aren't working for you, or work through frustrations, anxieties, fears, or grief, I am here to walk alongside you in that journey. I value a practical approach to addressing concerns, and will co-create strategies with you, drawing from your personal wisdom and experience combined with researched best practices.

My relational and feminist approach to counselling emphasizes the mutual formation of people through their relationships. With it, I support you in finding your own self in the tangle of relations with friends, family, lovers, neighbours, co-workers, and others. Although we cannot immediately change the social structures around us, the therapeutic process helps you to navigate them with greater confidence, compassion, and care.

I support people in finding the sparkle, hope, and joy in life again. The weight of the world, trauma, and our personal experiences can sometimes be very heavy, which can lead to depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, feeling numb or feeling burnt out. Counselling with me will strengthen the ways you cope, help you re-story what is going on for you (you are already the main character in your life!), and support you in changing negative or self-deprecating thought patterns.

Overwhelm, confusion, conflict, anxiety, despair and dread - if this is your reality right now, you're not alone. We're all longing for a sense of connection, possibility, and purpose in the face of the tsunami of injustice, trauma and loss we've all been living through for so long. Stress levels higher than the price of a Vancouver condo, rights and freedoms under attack from all sides and catastrophe looming around every corner - how do we face the mess we're in and still show up as the partners, caregivers, creatives, healers and changemakers we long to be, in a world that tells us that we are never enough.

Do you wonder if you’re the only one around who experiences the world with the intensity you do? Depending on how stressed you are, it may feel like you’re on alert or like you’re living in a soundproof glass box, cut off from others. You may have a hard time focusing on conversations with co-workers and family. You might have been told you’re "oversensitive" or have "no filter.". You may be feeling frustrated with yourself for not being able to get things together and just move forward, but the pandemic has made everything harder, and it feels like there are always too many moving parts. You want for a space to talk this through.

You experience good days and not-so-good days. You don’t discuss your feelings with your family because you don’t want to burden them. Your friends have their struggles, so you don’t talk about your panic anxiety, perfectionism, or low self esteem. Instead, you keep it to yourself, and you cope by minimising, normalising, or denying how you feel. Consequently, your relationship with your partner and family members is impacted. You stay busy and focus on things you can control, like work. Talking and processing your feelings can help you feel less overwhelmed. We can implement changes as we learn where your issues stem from.
