Hannah is centered in the photo. Behind them is an artistically coloured mountain mural. She tilts her head to the side slightly and smiles warmly. Their brown hair curls down beside their face resting along their shoulders. They are wearing a black long-sleeve shirt with reddish-orange coveralls.

About
Hannah Jarvis (They/She) is a non-binary, queer, small-fat, settler living and working on traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations. Hannah holds a BA from SFU in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies and is completing their Masters in Counselling at City University of Seattle (Vancouver campus). They worked for many years in both anti-violence and arts organizations where they continually noticed the ways that art and creative ways of being are intricately connected to healing. Hannah’s lived experience with sexuality and gender exploration, grief and loss, and fat joy informs their therapeutic specialities. They wish to be a soft place to land for clients from marginalized identities who may not have had a safe enough place to explore these concerns.
Hannah’s counselling style is warm, collaborative, non-judgemental, and adaptive. Their therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in previous experience as a support worker and their involvement in community activism. They are led by feminist, queer, and anti-oppressive values that center community care and harm reduction. Hannah honours clients as the experts of their own experience and is ready to meet clients where they are at with their goals for therapy. Hannah’s work is integrative and recognizes how systemic oppression impacts our health and well-being.
Hannah works with individuals and couples. They offer sessions in English and are also learning conversational ASL. They have prior work experience with folks who have physical disabilities, cognitive disabilities, or are neurodivergent and are practiced at supporting overlapping and sometimes contradictory access needs. Hannah offers both in person and online sessions and is interested in exploring how they can make sessions as accessible as possible for their clients.
Outside of work, you can find Hannah frequenting thrift shops, bouldering, dancing, working in fat-affirming fashion spaces, and searching for the best lavender latte in the city. They love the joy of connecting with their friends and partners, bringing community members together, and collective care. Hannah is so excited to meet with you!
