  • Raven Adams

    Raven (she/hers) is a Registered Social Worker with a Masters of Social Work from UBC. She has worked with women and youth in community and counselling settings.

    Counselling allows Raven to express her number one value, belonging. It’s a safe space where a person can allow themselves to be fully seen and accepted. It’s an immensely empowering feeling and sets the stage for healing and growth. Raven works with clients to draw out and bring awareness to patterns in relationships, behaviours, thoughts, and the emotions that live beneath. She navigates how systems of oppression directly affect our daily lives. Raven has been described as insightful and an “island of calm” by her clients.

    In her downtime, Raven can be found perpetually skinning her knees while exploring new hobbies like rollerblading and climbing. She enjoys spending time with friends, family and community through intentional connection whilst engaging with her daily adventures.

  • Ruth Patta

    I believe in a collaborative and holistic approach to wellness which has its foundation in a bio-psycho-social-spiritual premise.

    I also believe that people need to stay connected in meaningful and supportive relationships in order to effect change. Trained in family systems therapy, I work from the premise that when one member hurts, the whole system/family hurts.

    To this end, I walk alongside my clients and hold their hand as we collaboratively unravel hidden possibilities and opportunities inherent in their struggles, challenges and pain. I do this by providing a warm nonjudgmental and safe therapeutic space for clients to explore change and growth.

    I incorporate a wide range of approaches to meet the client at their points of need. These include Brief-Solution-Focused orientation including CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapies (EFT), Attachment Approaches, Gottman couples therapy, and EMDR and OEI for Psychological Trauma and PTSD.

    I hold a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MA, MFT) from Trinity Western University and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with British Columbia Association of Clinical Counselors (BCACC).

  • Ruth Unaegbu

    Hi, I’m Ruth Unaegbu, founder of Ruth Unaegbu Counselling & Coaching. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #12132) & Supervisor providing private therapy and supervision services in British Columbia, Canada. I created my practice in an effort to provide counselling services for those seeking support as they encounter various issues, difficulties, and disruptions in life as well as those looking to enhance and expand their lives. I work with a variety of individuals, and provide culturally affirming counselling to BIPOC, with a big focus on Black women, first generation and immigrant Canadians. I also specialize in working with creative professionals (actors/actresses, musicians, artists, etc.), athletes, parents/caregivers, and those who are a part of the adoption triad (specifically transracial adoption).

    I thoroughly enjoy connecting with others, digging deep and delving into fears, motivations, inspirations, goals, and dreams. You are my client if you are someone who is ready for or is experiencing a change or transition. I use a variety of therapy techniques and modalities to help you reach your goals and transform your life.

    Participation in therapy can result in a number of benefits to you, including improving interpersonal relationships and the resolution of the specific concerns that led you to seek therapy. If you're ready to take the step toward healing, connect with me today!

  • Theresa Thomas

    Hello, I’m Theresa and I am very passionate about supporting people in finding their voices and standing in their own power. I am committed to helping people achieve freedom from systemic and societal oppression in every capacity. My therapeutic focus is on seeking safety, trauma intervention, freedom from abuse, substance misuse, and achieving empowerment in every aspect of your life. I support you in removing the obstacles to achieving your goals and building the tools to maintaining success in your life on your own!

    We work as a team. Together, we understand the elements in your life or relationships that are causing you distress and how this distress affects you on a day-to-day basis. We identify what your goals are and how we work together to get you there.

    I understand the idea of counselling can be really scary in the beginning. And I want to help you navigate this counselling journey as painlessly as possible. Consider a free consultation to ask your questions and see if we are a good fit to begin your self-exploration :)
