Counsellor Directory
This innovative membership service serves to promote business information about your counselling practice, specialized services and skills as well as the ability to upload a profile picture and business logo. With futurist trends heading towards a generation that seeks information online as well as a specific set of skills, knowledge and experience, the CPCA believes this directory will provide a competitive edge for marketing our member's counselling services across Canada to the public, insurance providers, EAP contractors and government for verification of your legitimacy. All members who are in "good standing" will be approved to list their contact information in the directory on an annual basis. It allows our members to login to their directory listing once it has been approved and make any changes to their contact information.

Description
Hi! I'm Mike (they/them). I am a clinical counsellor with an empathetic, harm-reduction approach and a deep respect for your unique lived experiences. My clinical approach is deeply grounded in extensive "boots on the ground" harm reduction experience working at a Overdose Prevention Site in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES). I saw first hand how far the depths of addiction can go and how deep seated trauma manifested itself into substance use as a defence mechanism. There I saw both the beautiful side of humanity and also the dark side of desperation. This is why I work from a Person-Centered Trauma-Informed (PCTI), and my practice is deeply rooted in Feminist Therapy, equity, and inclusive values. I specialize in Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA2+ Affirming Care, Addictions and Chronic Pain therapy. I believe that healing happens in spaces where we feel safe, seen, and respected. A place where when we hold space for the systemic and environmental factors that shape our mental health. Therapy with me is a partnership; I will help guide you along your mental health journey as a collaborator, but your journey is your own, and you are always in the driver's seat.
