Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver
Maïté (she/they) is a Vancouver Registered Clinical Counsellor with over six years’ experience providing mental health support in community and private settings. Her work centres on helping people develop deeper self-understanding, greater embodied presence, and more authentic ways of relating. Her practice is trauma-informed and heart-centred, and she offers counselling in both English and French.
For Maïté, seeking counselling is an act of courage, and she aims to honour that by creating a space that feels safe, welcoming, and collaborative. Her approach is relational and grounded in the belief that healing grows not only from insight, but also through deeper connection to self and others. Through this lens, Maïté shows up with curiosity and humour, meeting each client as they are and staying true to who she is.
In sessions, Maïté integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), expressive arts, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and somatic approaches to help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and vitality.
Drawing on a background in gender studies and years of community support work in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, she brings an inclusive, anti-oppressive lens to her practice. She sees healing as both personal and collective transformation, and is passionate about cultivating a culture of care and embodied belonging.
Maïté’s approach is shaped by her passion for somatic disciplines – conscious dance, yoga, mindfulness, and qigong – through both formal training and ongoing personal practice. It is also informed by her lived experiences of immigration, queerness, existential questioning, and navigating depression, anxiety, and substance use. Through individual and relationship counselling, she offers a non-judgmental, sex-positive, kink-knowledgeable space that welcomes diverse identities and ways of relating.
