Thank you for your interest. Regrettably my part-time practice is currently full as I continue to teach at SFU. When spaces open up, I will post here.
There are many wonderful clinicians who can be of service. For information on BC counsellors in your area, please go to: https://counsellingbc.com/
Wishing you and yours well.
