Ellen LePage, MCP Candidate, BSW, RSW

Welcome! My name is Ellen. 

I am a Registered Social Worker with a graduate certificate in complex trauma, and I am currently a master’s candidate in counselling psychology. I have over 10 years of experience in social service-related work, including with people involved in the criminal legal system and the mental health system. I have worked with diverse groups of clients who have had experiences with trauma, mental health, mood, substance misuse, and complex family relationships. I have extensive understanding of the child protection system and mandated psychiatric services.

I will work with you through a holistic lens with a focus on an individual's search for meaning, purpose, and authentic self expression. I offer a supportive and empathetic space to share your experiences and current challenges. Together, we can navigate what you are looking for out of counselling, your goals, and the best way to get you there. I use a variety of frameworks including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Narrative therapy.

I am an ally with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and work to support Indigenous communities in my practice. I work with youth, individuals, couples, and families. I understand that counselling can be a scary and vulnerable process and want it to be as safe, productive, and healing as possible.

On a personal front, I am a cisgender female born in the prairies and have lived in Vancouver and Vancouver Island for the past 20 years. I have a one-year-old son and love being in nature, travelling, and watching soapy TV.
