Hi! My name is Vanessa and I would be honoured to be a part of your journey. I am a therapist from Vancouver, BC that approaches life and its challenges from a holistic perspective. Understandably, there are many other counsellors available and so, it can be overwhelming to choose who you want to work with. A little bit about me: I have been practicing for 4 years now. I am trauma informed and use a mix of approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), attachment theory, just to name a few, and am open to learning more.
I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with experience supporting youth and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relational issues, and more. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel free to be yourself and explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with curiosity.
Therapy can feel overwhelming or uncomfortable at times, and I’ll be there to support you through it. I’ll offer encouragement, challenge you when helpful, and share laughter when it feels right. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out by email—I look forward to connecting with you.
Call or Vanessa Hercun now for a free 15 minute consultation - (236) 304-9240
