Chris (She/They) is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and is currently completing their practicum towards a Master’s Degree in Clinical Counselling. With a deep hyperfocus on autistic lived experiences and neurodiversity, Chris is a passionate advocate for disability justice and equity. Over the past decade, they have committed themselves to learning about and supporting neurodivergent individuals, firmly believing that neurodivergence is a strength, not a deficit.

Chris employs an anti-oppression approach that emphasizes understanding and dismantling systemic barriers. Approaching neurodiversity from the social model of disability, they utilize neurodivergent-adapted forms of narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, sensory-somatic techniques, and expressive arts therapy, backed by a strong foundation in neurodivergent psychoeducation. Importantly, Chris does not engage in behavioural therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, or dialectical behaviour therapy.

Chris offers online appointments only.

Deeyh (She/Her) is currently completing her Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology and is in the practicum stage of her program. She is a student member with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.

Her journey towards becoming a counsellor has been influenced by a range of diverse experiences. She has worked as a behavior interventionist in education settings and has also provided support to refugee populations both locally and abroad. These experiences have deepened her understanding on the diverse needs and challenges faced by marginalized populations. She aligns with both individualistic and collectivist cultures, recognizing the importance of acknowledging all aspects of an individual's identity.

Shaped by her experiences, her approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, understanding, and advocacy. She believes in a person-centered approach that aligns with an individual’s needs. Through evidence-based strategies and a trauma-informed approach, she aims to create a space in which individuals can engage in self-exploration in a supportive and non-judgmental manner. She believes in accepting individuals as they are, collaboratively and respectfully, Deeyh hopes to support clients along their healing journey.
