About
Maïté (she/her) is a white, cisgendered, queer student counsellor at Collective Healing. She is a recent immigrant and settler on the shared, unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Maïté’s counselling style is deeply humanistic and strengths-based. She believes in people’s innate capacity to heal, and hopes to help clients reconnect to their inner wisdom. Her background in somatic disciplines has provided Maïté with a holistic perspective of healing that focuses on enhancing connection to the body and to community. In her sessions, Maïté will meet you where you’re at with genuine curiosity and compassion. She views “problems” as part of the human journey, and is passionate about building a safe space for clients to overcome them. She does this through an embodied presence, a curious ear, and a touch of humour.
Maïté’s was born in France and grew up in Singapore where she went to international school. She studied in the Netherlands and Australia, and had the privilege of experiencing multiple cultures along the way. These experiences have equipped Maïté with a sense of curiosity, openness, and humility. She aims to weave these traits into her counselling by creating culturally safe spaces founded on respect and self-determination.
Maïté’s approach is also informed by her lived experiences with immigration, cultural identity exploration, depression, anxiety, and substance use. As an outreach worker on the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, Maïté has a well of humbling experiences that have anchored her commitment to learning as well as unlearning. She commits to a decolonising and trauma-informed approach with a strong focus on promoting clients’ autonomy and agency in their lives. As a firm believer in the healing power of community, she also strives to help clients increased their sense of connection to others.
