Practice information:

About Me: Hello and Welcome. I am a queer, cisgender, white settler woman who provides private counselling/therapy services as a registered social worker for individuals who are located on the stolen, ancestral, and traditional territories of the Indigenous and First Nations Peoples across British Columbia. For the past eight years, I have had the honour of working and volunteering in feminist and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. In my practice now I work alongside youth and adult clients to support and explore challenges related to neurodivergence, mental health, identity, trauma, sexual orientation, gender identity, well-being, relationships, and confidence. Many of the clients I work with are formally diagnosed or self-identified Autistic and/or ADHD, and many are members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

Practice Approach: My approach is mainly grounded in mindfulness and incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, emotion-focused therapy and somatic experiencing. I work from a trauma-informed, strengths-focused, and neurodiversity perspective approach to support individuals with their therapeutic goals. I work collaboratively with clients to disrupt deficit-oriented perspectives on mental health, gender identity, and neurodivergence; and I support people in enhancing self-awareness and acceptance, well-being, confidence, mental health, and relationships. 

I am set up as a service provider with the BC MCFD Autism Funding program and am able to bill the ministry directly for family counselling services that use this funding. Please reach out if you have any questions about this process.

About Rae Morris Counselling Group: All of our clinicians are registered social workers whose practice is grounded in values of social justice and equity, and incorporate a client-centered, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and neurodiversity- and identity-affirming approach to counselling and therapy. All of our counsellors have knowledge and experience working alongside neurodivergent clients, including those who are suspected, self-diagnosed, and/or formally diagnosed as Autistic and/or ADHD. We work collaboratively with clients to disrupt deficit-oriented perspectives on mental health and neurodivergence and to support people in enhancing self-awareness and acceptance, well-being, confidence, mental health, and relationships. Not all of our clients are neurodivergent and a formal diagnosis is not necessary to work alongside any of our clinicians.
