Deanna Becker

Hi! I’m Deanna a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia.

Over the past 20 years I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings with children, youth, and families. My areas of expertise include childhood trauma, grief and loss, anxiety & depression. I utilize a variety of counselling approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, attachment-based models, EMDR, & mindfulness-based approaches.

I embrace a trauma-informed, client-focused, and collaborative therapy approach. I value relationship building and creating a safe therapy space without judgement to support children, youth, and families grow toward their goals

We now know how important a healthy mind-body connection is to optimal health and wellness outcomes and to facilitate this connection for children I incorporate art, play, and yoga into my counselling sessions. Counselling with children and youth can be a very active and dynamic process with a large focus of work on emotional regulation. Adults are an imperative piece of the wellness and regulation journey for children and are included in the counselling process.

I look forward to working with you and your family!
