Counselling in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows
Tania Wilkinson, RCC Clinical Counsellor
Registered with BC Association of
Clinical Counsellors
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) who is passionate about observing the whole individual, the mind, body, and spirit, and creating a safe place for my clients to heal, that begins with feeling understood and known. I have experience working with life transitions including illness, loss, grief, divorce, and blended families. I provide compassionate support working with women around menopause and individuals in addiction.
For 17 years I have worked with individuals who have experienced trauma and have mental health challenges in correctional and psychiatric settings. I consider it a privilege to come alongside my clients as they work towards their personal goals in therapy.
My approach is client-centred, drawing from research supported modalities such as AEDP (Applied Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Applied Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Theory) and Mindfulness.
Reaching out to seek a therapist is a brave step to take, and the relationship between therapist and client is important for a positive outcome.
Let’s schedule a free 15 minute session to connect and see whether we are a good fit. I want you to feel at ease, so we can build a relationship based on trust as we work together.

Veronica Morrow, RCC Clinical Counsellor
Registered with BC Association of
Clinical Counsellors
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC (#19963). The bulk of my experience is working with trauma, complex trauma (ex. sexual assault/exploitation) as well as focusing on attachment within families and relationships. When I work with teens, I am keenly aware that enlisting the wisdom of the family is as valuable as building a strong therapeutic relationship with an adolescent. I have worked with teens who might be described as "high risk" and have an eye for building a strong relationship even when your teen is feeling sceptical about counselling.
I have a special interest in working with people struggling with fertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum experience. If you have struggled with any of these issues, you have a unique perspective that requires an understanding of the many contextual layers that impact how you are feeling.
If you're on the fence about counselling, not sure if it's right for you or you're wary about finding the right match, book an intro-call and trust your gut. Worst case, you never speak to me again and you spent 15 minutes learning more about what you want in a counsellor.
DAWN TAYLOR
REGISTERED CLINICAL COUNSELLOR
FOUNDER AND CLINIC DIRECTOR
Approved Clinical Supervisor
with BC Association of Clinical
Counsellors
Dawn currently has a waitlist
of 4-6 weeks.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with BCACC (British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors) and I've been counselling for over 20 years. I specialize in working with teens struggling with anxiety, depression, Trauma and substance use/dependency. I also work with families struggling with connection, where often times there are underlying mental health challenges.
Coming to counselling takes courage to look deep into ourselves. You are looking to make changes, and perhaps some of those changes are within yourself, and some are with your situation. Let's start with a conversation. It is likely that not many people know or understand why or how your coping mechanisms arose, and often these strategies get in our way. Before we realize it, we're back doing the same thing we've always done and swore we would stop doing a thousand times ago.
If you are a parent and struggling with a teen who is dealing with their own mental health symptoms, there is much we can do! I work with families, no matter the structure or situation. If your teen is not cool with counselling, not a problem. One of my areas of speciality is working with individuals who feel they are mandated to counselling. It requires a nuanced approach, where your child feels they are heard and seen.
