Wise Counselling
Wise Counselling offers sex therapy, psychedelic integration therapy, ICBC counselling, and clinical counselling. We are committed to providing a holistic approach to counseling that honours an individual's unique needs and capacities.
Therapy is a journey where the counsellor is a fellow traveler, walking alongside you with genuine compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. Creating a safe space for connection, expression, discovery, and healing.
In psychotherapy, clients can uncover new insights about themselves, their relationships, and their lives, which can lead to self-awareness, personal growth, empowerment, and transformation.
The work together will be trauma-informed, culturally responsible, anti-oppressive, sex-positive, and collaborative. We welcome people 18+, of all genders, sexual orientations, abilities, and so on.
Wise Counselling is available for virtual/online or phone sessions. If you currently live in or have a permanent address in BC, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Saskatchewan, Yukon, and Nunavut, we can work together.
We are currently accepting clients and it would be an honour to connect with you!
