Imogen McIntyre, MSW, RCSW

I specialize in counselling for queer, trans, genderdiverse, and neurodivergent people. I work with individuals, couples, poly folks, and families from the perspectives of social justice and attachment - I believes that the social environment we grew up in, and our relationship histories within those environments, shape how we show up in our present.

I pay special attention to how power functions in our relationships and communities, and how it impacts our internal experiences. I am kink and poly affirming, and excited to work with people with all kinds of relationship structures.

Queer, trans, and neurodivergent people often have unique needs in counselling because of messages throughout their lives saying that they don't fit within their environments. Counselling can support these folks to find community, experience a more consistent sense of self-worth, and build a life that fits for them.

​

I'm excited to connect with you and to find out what it is you most need from counselling. I tailor my approach to each individual client, and strive to create a welcoming environment where you can show up as your whole self.

Andrea Kiesser, MSW, RSW

We all have moments in our lives when our challenges seem insurmountable.  As a social worker and counsellor, my goal is to help you make sense of what is going on and offer strategies to improve your situation.  I know that understanding your unique circumstances is key to effective therapy tailored specifically to you.  

My specialties include supporting individuals, youth, children and families with life transitions and distressing life events.  I have particular expertise helping individuals who have a child or loved one struggling with mental illness.  

As a settler on this land, I have had the honour of working alongside Indigenous communities. I am committed to providing ally-ship as a counsellor and I work from a social justice, non-judgemental,  trauma-informed, and strength-based perspective. I am skilled at providing therapy in an online format, in the comfort of your own home.  My therapy style brings warmth, empathy and maybe even some cheeky humour into each session.  Our time together will be collaborative and productive. 

I am a registered social worker in good standing with the BC College of Social Workers and a graduate of Dalhousie University Masters of Social Work program.

Andrea is currently accepting a waitlist for new clients.

Ben Lee, MSW, RSW

I am a registered social worker with 6+ years of experience working across a variety of mental health and addictions programs. Through these experiences, I’ve learnt that mental health can’t be meaningfully or ethically understood without looking at inequalities in our social world: colonization, racism, and other systems of oppression. I’ve worked with people struggling with a wide range of challenges, including addictions, depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Although I enjoy working in all of these areas, and strongly believe that each new relationship is a unique and uncharted experience, I am especially excited to work with LGBTQ+ clients and clients with challenges around addictions.

​

My counselling approach is grounded in a deep respect for the therapeutic relationship, as I believe that mental health is best understood through the lens of our past and present patterns in relationships. I work hard to be collaborative, warm, and curious – inviting you to remain open to what comes alive in the room between us. In partnership with my clients, my goal as a counsellor is to co-create a space for exploration, reflection, and self-understanding, with the ultimate goal of enhancing your psychological flexibility and freedom.
