Hi,
I'm Myriame
a Bilingual Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, BC
I'm passionate about helping you lead a meaningful life by exploring, connecting and healing your experiences in counselling.
​
I'll work with you to build the emotional awareness and resilience to create change by being supportive, curious, authentic and compassionate.
Background & Approach
I have worked in the field of health and wellness for over a decade supporting different populations with varying challenges. Currently, I mostly work with individuals living with chronic illnesses (or diseases) and their families, supporting them through consulting and counselling services in order to live their best lives today. In the past, I worked in private and public settings supporting families with children diagnosed with neuro-developmental disorders and behavioural challenges.
​
I have a passion for helping individuals lead a meaningful life through emotionally-focused and somatically-informed approaches, such as mindfulness, accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), pain reprocessing therapy (PRT)).
​
I gratefully work and live on unceded Indigenous land belonging to the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xÊ·mÉ™θkwÉ™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), SÉ™lÌ“ílwÉ™taÊ” (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
