Sam Kaplan (they/them)-  Registered Clinical Counsellor/Clinical Consultation
​Languages: English
​
Able to provide hormone blocker and hormone readiness assessments, and Clinical Consultation. I am otherwise full with a closed waitlist. Contact samkaplan@expressivewellness.ca to connect.

I often work alongside folks processing personal, collective, and systemic traumas.  Specifically I often work with current and former youth in care, neurodivergent folks, folks navigating chronic pain/disabilities, queer/trans folks, sex workers, poly folks and topics around identity exploration.

In working alongside folks I often weave in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), somatic-attachment, art therapy, narrative therapy , trauma centred engagement and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).  I see people as experts in their own lives and it is really important to me to work collaboratively alongside people and to co-create space for healing. 
​
In my personal life, I love the woods, the ocean, making art, gardening, and animals.  I am non-binary (they/them), neurodivergent, and of European and Arab Jewish background.  I strive towards anti-oppressive, social justice oriented practices, and also recognize that this is ongoing work of listening and learning and unlearning. 

I am located on the unceded traditional and ancestral homelands of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
