Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) & Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW)
Therapy with a Certified Clinical Counsellor/Registered Clinical Social Worker. Therapy is primarily talk-based, often supplemented with take home readings or exercises. The aim is to relieve distress by discussing and expressing feelings; improve and maintain mental health and well-being by changing attitudes, behaviour and habits that may be unhelpful; and to promote more constructive and adaptive ways of coping. Individuals usually seek therapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.

Averill Hanson RSW, MPH
Drawing on CBT and mindfulness tools, my therapeutic style gently introduces structure, inviting you to pause, explore, and make connections that lead to better functioning and healing.
I believe each person…
- Has worth
- Needs to be met where they’re at
- Heals in their own time
- Is the expert of their own life
- Can have a greater sense of control and satisfaction through understanding why they think or behave the way they do
- Deserves to be happy and function in their daily lives
I became a registered social worker in 2007. Most extended health benefits have coverage for registered social workers in BC. Please reach out if you’d like assistance checking your coverage.
When I’m not offering therapy, I spend my time in nature, creating inclusive queer art, cuddling my cat and dog, and being the best partner I can be.

(She/Her/Hers)
BA, MSW, RCSW, RCC
I take a holistic and relational approach to support self-identified women (age 13 and up), and couples navigating life transitions, relationships, stress, sexual identity, trauma, grief, loss, anxiety and depression.
I work from the understanding that through self-exploration we can recognize patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that accelerate or keep us stuck in our growth process. I uphold the belief that you are the expert of your own life. Through our work, you will gain a deepened understanding of self.
I tailor my approach to meet you in your journey and provide support. I enjoy embracing the powerful healing the natural world offers. I wholeheartedly trust the process of healing in the rest of an outdoor setting, whether that be with grass under your feet, the sound of a stream trickling nearby or a view of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Nature offers the gentle yet lasting reminder of our inherent connectedness and almost effortlessly unveils the wholeness of each of us.
