Chelsea Kingzett (she/her)
Background
Hello, and welcome! I am honored to support you on your mental health and well-being journey.
My name is Chelsea, I am registered as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (C.C.C.) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I am a European-settler Canadian and grew up in Squamish-Whistler, British Columbia. I spent the last 12 years living and working in Montréal and returned to Vancouver in 2025.
Throughout my career in mental health and psychosocial support, I have worked closely with diverse communities, including four years with individuals experiencing addictions, homelessness, and in Montreal’s Indigenous sector. Before transitioning to psychotherapy, I spent six years in the field of food security, where I learned the importance of building and maintaining trusting and caring relationships. These experiences inspired me to reorient my work toward psychotherapy, where I can offer deeper and more tailored support.
I approach my work with non-judgement, warmth, curiosity, and respect, aiming to hold a space where you can feel safe to share, process, and grow. Whether we focus on healing, self-discovery, or navigating life’s complexities, I am here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as we explore the challenges and strengths that shape your life.
Therapeutic Approach
In my counselling practice, I take an integrative approach drawing on a variety of theories and techniques to best meet your unique needs. These may include Mindfulness, Psychodynamic theory (specifically Narrative Therapy), Somatic Processing and body-based interventions, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Addictions Counselling, and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy. At the heart of my work are the principles of trauma-informed and culturally-sensitive care, person-centredness, harm reduction, and anti-oppression.
I believe that you are the expert on your own experiences. Together, we will collaborate as a team to explore challenges, while also identifying your strengths and resources. My goal is to enhance your available choices, navigate life’s obstacles, and build resilience along the way. I am here to support you every step of the way.
I am bilingual and offer counselling in both French and English. It would be a privilege to work with you, and I look forward to connecting!

“So much of what we call abnormality in this culture is actually normal responses to an abnormal culture. The abnormality does not reside in the pathology of individuals, but in the very culture that drives people into suffering and dysfunction.” -Gabor Maté
