Mark Streibel

Hi there,

I offer counselling services to adults in Surrey, BC and the surrounding areas. 

Life brings moments of profound beauty and connection, as well as experiences of pain, loss, and adversity. While these challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, they do not define who we are or what is possible for our lives.

My mission is to provide a compassionate and transformative therapeutic experience that fosters healing, self-discovery, and meaningful growth. I am dedicated to helping you alleviate your suffering, strengthening your relationship with yourself and others, and cultivating greater balance, resilience, and wellbeing.

Above all, I believe that healing happens in the context of safe and caring relationships, and that every person possesses an innate capacity for growth, wholeness, and a more fulfilling life.

Working Together 

At the heart of my practice is a deep respect for each person's individuality. I offer a collaborative, person-centered approach that recognizes the uniqueness of your story and welcomes every aspect of your experience with compassion and curiosity. Together, we will create a space for healing, self-discovery, and growth, helping you cultivate greater balance, emotional wellbeing, and connection in your life and relationships.

Some of the things I help with are:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Complex trauma and PTSD
• Lack of meaning or purpose in life
• Strengthening your mind-heart-body connection
• Grief & loss
• Lack of self-acceptance
• Relationship distress
• Life transitions
• Journey preparation & integration; and more

About Me

My journey to becoming a counsellor grew out of a deep appreciation for the healing and transformative potential of compassionate human connection. I hold a Master of Social Work degree and have spent more than a decade helping people navigate challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and more. My approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices such as:

• Mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (MiCBT)
• Internal family systems (parts work) to reduce shame and increase self-compassion
• Somatic / embodied approaches for expressing stored emotions and enhancing connection with self
• Trauma-informed care
• Emotion-focused therapy to understand and process what you’re feeling
• Safely accessing altered states of consciousness to address treatment resistant conditions

On a personal note I am a father to 3 beautiful children and married to an amazing woman. In addition to counselling, some things that bring me fulfillment are spending time with loved ones, connecting with nature, travel, cooking and enjoying tasty food, salsa and bachata dancing, and working on my own personal growth.
