Clinical Counselling Trauma-informed care
Our team of Registered Clinical Counsellors provides highly skilled therapeutic care to anyone whose life has been impacted by trauma or adversity. We offer counselling services for individuals, couples and families with sliding scale or subsidized fee options.
Clinical Counselling
We are here to help. We are all products of our past experiences, good and bad. The culmination of these past experiences play a significant role in our mental wellness. Our team of Clinical Counsellors specialize in supporting individuals living with the impact of trauma. We recognize that this impact can take many forms, including but not limited to: depression, anxiety and panic, anger issues, sleep disturbance, self-esteem issues and relationship issues. We provide a calm and comfortable space, and will meet you where you are at in your healing journey.
If you have any questions or need more information, please send an e-mail to our team lead, Shima Derakhshanfar, at shima@bcborstal.ca. Congratulations on taking this courageous step!
