Robin Gill, MCP, BA, RCC

Hello I am Robin,

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma / PTSD. My prime focus in counselling is to help empower you to discover your journey towards healing and resilience. I believe counselling is a form of healing which begins by prioritizing your mental health. I will help you work towards this journey through collaboration and interventions in this healing process. I will provide a holistic approach to allow you to connect to your mind, body, and soul. 

I have experience working with clients of different ages, from children to older adults from diverse ethnic backgrounds. I conduct counselling in both English and Punjabi and use various therapeutic approaches. These approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I am allied with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and work to offer a culturally safe space.

My work centralizes on using different modalities which best suit your needs. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to allow you to be yourself. I aim to empower you by providing a safe space to voice your story. I am excited to learn about your worldviews and unique qualities. I encourage you to work through your challenges with me and work towards your journey of healing and resilience. 

On a personal front, I am a cisgender female born in the Interior of British Columbia to immigrant parents from India. I am a spiritual person who loves being in nature, watching hockey, and travelling.

Hello and welcome.

Hello and welcome. My name is Sam. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from University of British Columbia.

Many of us find ourselves feeling stuck or overwhelmed. And so many people struggle with their concerns alone, whether they are in fact experiencing isolation or whether they are surrounded by other people. Some worry they might burden others, some fear what others might think, and some struggle to believe they are worthy or deserving of support. As a counsellor and social worker, I believe we all need substantial supports in our lives. Whether the issues you're facing feel small or insurmountable, I strive to offer a space where you can share your experiences without feeling judged or ashamed.

I often work from a Narrative Therapy approach which can help us reconnect to our values, confidence, and resilience. I am guided by a social justice and anti-oppressive lens, and I try to support people in being authors and experts in their own lives. More answers reside within ourselves than we often realize. My approach aims to assist people in recognizing and accessing their own internal motivations and strengths as the basis for dealing with concerns and accomplishing goals. I also use integrative approaches depending on what works best for the specific person and scenario.

Some of my areas of focus include trans affirming practice / supporting 2SLGBTQ+ communities, substance use, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, suicidal thoughts, psychosis, chronic illness, anger.

I offer direct billing to many third party insurance providers and extended health plans.

On a personal note, I am passionate about cycling, skiing, and spending time outdoors. I am a pet caregiver and an avid cook of vegan and vegetarian food. I also appreciate spending time with reading, board games, and video games.

I believe it is important to acknowledge that I am a settler who lives on the stolen homelands of the people of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ / Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I believe in working to dispel myths, promote equity, and fight injustice.

I offer appointments at Blackbird's Cloverdale clinic and through the online virtual clinic.

Hi, I am Karina Crow, Founder of Blackbird Counselling and Wellness. 

I am a Registered Social Worker and have two decades of front-line and clinical practice in mental health and addictions. I work from an integrated approach, using different types of counselling modalities to personalize your sessions. I support diversity and welcome people who identify as counter-culturalists, nonconformists, creatives, musicians, and people exploring their meaning in the world. I am an ally with marginalized people and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. I have worked as a front-line worker for many years with multiple non-profits in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver, in Forensic Social Work, Public Health and I currently work in private practice.

I specialize in working with trauma (PTSD, CPTSD), complex family relationships, intergenerational trauma, substance use concerns, and general mental health, such as anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I work from a place to understand you as a whole person, your physical and mental health are connected and I honor this in our counselling sessions. It is of the most importance to me that you feel heard and understood, I will never judge your experience, and will provide a safe environment to talk about anything you choose. 

I offer a specialized treatment - Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). It is one of my favorite modalities to use, as it is effective and powerful. I often can take one to three sessions of ART to reprogram stressful emotions, memories and images and move to a place where these experiences no longer trigger strong physical or emotional reactions.

On a personal note, I am a tattoo collector, artist, music lover, motorcycle enthusiast, nature lover, animal parent and human parent. I live with my blended family in the lower mainland. I am cis gender woman who identifies as Bipoc. I am proudly Métis and German. I work toward reclaiming my own cultures and reconciliation for other marginalized, Indigenous, and Bipoc folks.
