Wendy Shen

Registered Clinical Counsellor

I offer holistic, integrative, and meaning-centered individual and couples counselling. Together, we’ll address your immediate challenges and the deeper, underlying issues that may contribute to them. My approach is grounded in an optimistic view of human nature; I believe in our innate drive to thrive and the ever-present potential for hope and healing.

My career has taken me to various organizations where I’ve had the privilege of serving diverse populations, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. This journey has allowed me to develop a broad skill set in therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, and somatic work. I’ve also earned certifications in Narrative Therapy, Indigenous Canada counselling, Gottman Therapy (Levels 1 and 2), EMDR (Level 1), and Mindfulness-Based Somatic Therapy (Level 1).

Working with a wide range of clients has sharpened my ability to create personalized treatment plans that are compassionate, client-centered, and infused with curiosity. I believe deeply in my clients’ inner strength and view myself as a fellow traveler on their journey toward healing and growth.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, I invite you to allow me to walk with you on your path. Together, we can work to resolve past pain and rediscover your sense of purpose and passion for life.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Adler University.
