I’m Sophia and this is one of my animal companions and co-therapists, Felicia (she’s a spunky little bearded dragon who was a rescue).
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and Art Therapy from Adler University Vancouver Campus. I am the owner and operator of Paws & Palettes Counselling Services, which I offer in-person at Namastables Wellness Centre in Langley and online. I also work as a Grief Counsellor at a Hospice Society in South Surrey. I support children, youth, adults, and families through traditional talk-based counselling approaches as well as specialized art, play, animal-included, and nature-based therapeutic modalities. My work is centred around my belief in the healing potential of human connection, animal bonds, natural settings, and creative exploration. I collaborate with clients to create customized treatment plans that are best suited to their individual or family needs. For more information on my clinical approach and service offerings, please check out my website, www.pawsandpalettescounselling.ca.
