Chelsea Kingzett (she/her)

Background

Hello, and welcome! My name is Chelsea (she/her), and I’m honored to support you on your journey. I am currently an Intern Counsellor completing my practicum for a Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I am a Canadian of European settler descent, and I grew up surrounded by the stunning mountains of British Columbia on Coast Salish territory. After spending 12 years living and working in Tio’tià:ke

/ Mooniyang (Montréal), I’ve recently returned to Vancouver, grateful to reconnect with this beautiful place I call home.

​

My professional path has been shaped by a deep passion for meaningful connections and helping others. I spent four years working in Montreal’s Indigenous sector, supporting individuals experiencing homelessness through mental health and psychosocial interventions. Before that, I dedicated six years to the field of food security, where I developed a profound appreciation for building relationships rooted in trust and care. These experiences inspired me to reorient my work toward psychotherapy, where I could support individuals more deeply and intentionally.

​

I strive to bring warmth, curiosity, and respect into my work, meeting you where you’re at and walking alongside you as we explore the challenges, strengths, and possibilities that shape your life. Whether you’re here to heal, grow, or simply be heard, I’m here to listen and support you every step of the way.

Therapeutic Approach

In my counselling practice, I take an integrative approach, drawing on a variety of theories and techniques to best support your unique needs. These include Addictions Counselling, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic theory (specifically parts work and Narrative Therapy), Somatic Processing and body-based interventions, Gestalt Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) 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 of your own experiences. Together, we will collaborate as a team to explore challenges through intersectional and cultural lenses, considering how they may play out at individual, interpersonal, and systemic levels. My goal is to empower your strengths, nurture resilience, and build resources and choices that align with the life you want to create.

​

I offer a compassionate and nonjudgmental 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 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!
