Hi,
I'm Myriame

a Bilingual Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, BC

Please note that I will be on leave starting mid-July and not currently taking on new clients.

 

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 close to a decade supporting different populations with varying challenges. Most recently, I 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 mindfulness, resiliency, and evidence-based practices (e.g., mindfulness, accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive processing therapy (CPT)). 

I gratefully work and live on unceded Indigenous land belonging to the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
