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.

My philosophy as a counsellor is founded on a collaborative approach. Together, we explore perspectives, abilities, strengths you can draw from, as well as, barriers that may be impeding, the changes you seek. We are all experts of our own lives and you possess important knowledge, skills, and abilities vital to making changes in your life. Two counselling theories I identify most with include: Narrative Therapy and Existential/Logotherapy. In 2022 I trained in EMDR. It was transcendental both experiencing it as a client and as clinician. The research behind this therapy is so robust, I have also actively integrated into practice.

At Amie Anderson & Associates, we are a team of experienced, compassionate therapists who work with youth, adults, couples, and families. Our clients come to us for support with a wide range of concerns—from everyday stress and relationship challenges to more complex mental health issues.
Many of the people we support experience mood challenges, including anxiety and depression. For some, these difficulties are connected to earlier traumatic experiences. We offer trauma-informed care and draw on evidence-based approaches in our work with clients.

"TRUE POWER DIMINISHES NEITHER SELF OR OTHER" (Mariah Moser). To connect to that power requires the guidance, courage and commitment to understand whats keeping you trapped in self destructive patterns. If you're feeling overwhelmed, numb, afraid or angry, I can help. If you're on the edge of making changes in your life but are feeling stuck, I can help you cross that threshold. In sessions, my intention is to build trust and a sense of safety so that we can explore the challenges that you are facing.

There's a point where coping turns into surviving, when the chaos of life requires so much that exhaustion becomes the price of admission. Whatever happened to you, something covered the authentic you. Let's find it. After years of being responsible, staying functional, and showing everyone else you're fine, it's cost you your connection with yourself. If pushing through and numbing out are the only ways you've found to get by, that doesn't sound like failure. It sounds like survival. A response to constant demands for performance with very little care in return.

I help children, teens, and young adults build confidence, manage anxiety and OCD, regulate emotions, and improve executive functioning.
For ages 4–11, I use play therapy to help children express emotions, process experiences, and develop coping skills through play and imagination.
For ages 11–18, I blend CBT with expressive arts therapy to support emotional expression, stress management, and self-esteem.
For young adults (14–25), I offer coaching and counselling to build self-awareness, confidence, and life direction.

I work with individuals experiencing grief, relationship challenges, and the impact of past trauma. This includes people who may have a harder time expressing or making sense of what they’re going through. I offer a grounded, supportive space where we move at a pace your nervous system can support, creating more clarity, connection, and balance.

Many of the struggles that bring people to therapy have roots that go deeper than they first realize, and moving forward often requires more than insight alone. I work primarily with adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, grief, dissociation, and painful relationship patterns that are often connected to earlier life experiences, including childhood and relational wounds. With 15+ years in practice, I help clients move toward relief, resolution, and meaningful change.

My desire to serve the community in which I grew up in, has always been important to me. I have worked at overdose prevention sites, harm reduction residential facilities, suicide crisis lines, and employment family assistance program (EFAP). It’s been a privilege to work with such a diverse range of clients. Having lived experience as a first responder, I am aware of how trauma can profoundly impact the mind and body.

Specializing in complex care needs for people with mental and behavioural health diagnoses, I deliver the most progressive treatment strategies in the sector. In addition to client treatment, I also offer educational and clinical supervision services to students and professionals in the sector. Consulting services are also available to larger agencies, organizations and centres who are looking to grow their specialization, obtain education and training or learn more about the complex care approaches in the behavioural and mental health fields.

You might feel like your mind is always running — juggling too many thoughts, losing focus, or getting stuck in the same unhelpful habits. In that case, you've likely noticed a pattern of zoning out, avoiding uncomfortable topics or feelings, and overreacting. Things like food, substances, or online interactions take the edge off but end up contributing to issues more than helping. I have a long history of helping individuals, couples and parents, especially men with ADHD, anxiety, anger, depression, and addiction. Together, we’ll build a plan to improve focus and communication, and develop tools for calmer, more intentional living.

I prioritize the safety, dignity and health of my clients in all of our interactions. I consider the work we do together to be a healing space that honors your individual lived experience.
I encourage my clients that connect by phone to engage in a “walk and talk” modality (if physical ability and safety permits). This meets several goals: connection, movement, bilateral stimulation (such as used in EMDR), and a connection to nature and the community.
I’m looking forward to working with you!

I believe that life has the potential to be beautiful and fulfilling. At the same time, I believe that life consistently presents us with challenges and that these challenges can ultimately serve and enable our own growth. I see counselling as the space where we can more fully understand ourselves and discover how to live our lives to the fullest. I believe that by taking such a position we can become more aspirational and creative rather than becoming stuck on and identified with problems. Through becoming more conscious and aware, I believe we can unlock ourselves, overcome barriers, and find creative paths towards living fully.

You’re feeling stuck. Alone. Like no one could possibly understand what you’re going through. But you know deep down that talk therapy alone won’t cut it. You’re craving something more real, more embodied, and more connected.
I live and practice in the beautiful mountain town of Squamish, BC. Inspired by nature.

Change. Do you have the feeling that something has to change… but you’re not quite sure what it is? Or you have a good idea what and where you want to be… but don’t know what changes to make to get there? Are obsessions and compulsions ruling your life? Or are you struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety? Are your relationships – intimate, family, work – suffering? And are you ready to take that first step towards change? You've come to the right place.

It’s not always obvious what’s going on internally. You might notice your mind won’t slow down, or that you’re carrying a lot of tension that doesn’t fully make sense, especially in close relationships or during times of stress. Relationships can feel especially activating; overthinking, uncertainty, or getting pulled into the same patterns even when you don’t want to. Over time, this can feel exhausting to carry on your own. Therapy is a space to slow things down and start understanding what’s happening in a way that feels more grounded and manageable.

Are your usual ways of dealing with things no longer working? Is it time to look at something that has been troubling you for a while? Perhaps you could use some help looking into your life to develop a deeper understanding of your journey. Carl Jung said, “Only what is really oneself has the power to heal.” Your challenges will be seen 'guideposts' that help us understand your life in a meaningful way. As a registered psychotherapist, my orientation is based in depth psychology and I am dedicated to helping you fully see yourself with compassionate eyes so that symptom and suffering can be transformed into wholeness and healing.
