Practice information:

Hi, I am Karina Crow. I am a Registered Social Worker and have close to two decades of front-line and clinical practice in mental health and addictions. I have a Bachelors (BSW), Masters of Social Work (MSW) and hold multiple certifications in various therapy modalities. I am an ally with marginalized people and the LGTBQIA2S+ community. I support diversity and welcome people who identify as counter-culturalists, nonconformists, creatives, musicians, and people exploring their meaning in the world. I have worked as a front-line worker for many years with multiple non-profits in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver, in Forensic Social Work, Public Health and I currently work in private practice.

My practice offers evidence-based, integrative, individualized counselling and wellness sessions to individuals in a non-judgmental and safe space. I am an ally in supporting diversity and welcome people who identify as counter-culturalists, nonconformists, creatives, musicians, and people who are exploring their meaning in the world. I provide in-person, online, and by phone counselling and coaching sessions. I am allied with the LGBTQIA2S+ community and work to offer a culturally safe space.  

In addition to my counselling modalities, I also offer specialized treatment,  Accelerated Resolution Therapy  (ART) in person at the Cloverdale clinic.  ART works to directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong emotional or physical reactions. 

Personally, I am a  cisgender woman and mother.   I am of German and Metis descent working to better understand my cultural identity.  I am a tattoo collector and motorcycle enthusiast, and I love nature and animals.  

Direct Billing to FNHA, Metis Society, and ICBC and some extended benefits.
