Therapist Directory

Bio: Hello, my name is Serena and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #18636) with a Master of Counselling degree from City University of Seattle. In my practice, I draw upon various theoretical approaches like Narrative, CBT, and Solution Focused Therapies, along with my background in biology to ensure therapy is tailored to fit each individual client. I focus on developing safe, supportive, and collaborative relationships that promote empowerment and self-discovery.

I have experience working with youth, adults, and couples from a diverse range of demographics and am sensitive to how much culture and identity can affect one’s experience of the world. Much of my work involves supporting 1.5 generation immigrants navigate the complexities of carrying two often opposing sets of cultural expectations. I strive to truly see and hear each client by maintaining a safe, nurturing environment in which they have the space to process, discover, and heal.

As someone who sat in the client’s chair long before I considered becoming a therapist, I know first hand just how difficult it can be to reach out for help. I greatly admire my clients for continuously demonstrating the immense courage and determination it takes to share their stories.
