Welcome to Sasha Boniface Therapy
I am here to help, because we can’t always go it alone. I know first hand that it can get confusing and overwhelming, or even paralyzing and terrifying, to just be with yourself, in your own head.
I will show up for you, so that you can start showing up for yourself.
Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative, and Trauma-Informed care (including EMDR therapy) are at the core of my services; because I believe that all behaviour comes from somewhere and it’s not your fault. Even those mistakes you might have made, or those traits you’re still beating yourself up for. And, knowledge is power. I have seen again and again that only until we can identify the ‘why’ behind our challenges - emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, depression, or otherwise - can we then look towards change:
Towards living life in accordance with our values, and being kinder to ourselves when we inevitably falter along the way; we are human after all.
My name is Sasha
(she, her, hers)
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in good standing with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC), holding a Bachelor’s in Psychology from UBC and a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology (MEd) from Simon Fraser University. My training and work has taken place on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, also known as Greater Vancouver, out of the privilege of being born here, but also out of a sense of commitment: I see a great amount of need from my diverse community members and I am drawn to support you.
Over the past 13 years I have worked in a variety of mental health and social service settings, including YMCA Community Programming, SFU Health & Counselling Services, Providence Health Care, and in private counselling practice. I continue to support youth and adults in differing levels of economic stability, those with challenging family dynamics, new immigrants, and LGBTQ2S + and Indigenous folks.
Above all, I take pride in being an ‘open book’. Feel free to read more or get in touch with questions.
