Al Zwiers M.S.W. RSW

Practice information:

I am a Registered Social Worker in BC, and have a Master of Social Work degree with additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, EMDR and Gottman Method for relationships. I draw from over two decades of clinical practice to engage you in a comfortably professional setting.

My goal is to help you create positive and lasting change, as well as to help you build a healthy, balanced and fulfilling life of integrity and self-love. Sometimes it can be really difficult to shake off the old beliefs that have held you back or limited your life, that continue to affect your everyday experiences and relationships, and I want to help you grow and heal.

Many of the people I work with are dealing with issues of:

• substance use, addictions & compulsive behaviours
• sexuality, kink, relationships & polyamory
• gender identity & expression
• coming out & self-acceptance
• communication & boundaries
• self-esteem & self-compassion
• chronic illness & health concerns
• depression, anxiety & isolation
• loss, grief & life transitions

Many extended health care plans reimburse the cost of seeing a Registered Social Worker (RSW).
