Business Description
Adrianna Faliszewski, CCC
I am a queer and transgender counsellor in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I hold a master’s of arts in counselling psychology from Simon Fraser University, I am a professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, and I am registered as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). I have a decade of experience in the mental health field, with experience both as a counsellor specializing in supporting queer and transgender adults and teens, and as a mental health worker and first responder in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side.
My lived and professional experience allows me to effectively attend to many ways of being that are not always respected and understood by the wider society, including queerness, kink, power exchange relationships, ethical non-monogamy, and parenting in structures outside of the hetero nuclear family.
My work involves building an attuned and nurturing relationship, inviting curiosity about thoughts and feelings, processing how past hurts might be impacting the present, and providing tools to move beyond unhelpful patterns.
My work typically involves warmly and deeply attending to the poignant and painful parts of a client’s experiences and unmet needs, while simultaneously offering lightness and a playful realness when needed, which helps the therapeutic relationship feel comfortable and relatable.
I work from queer, anti-oppressive, and feminist theories, and the belief that we get to be the authors of our own identities.
Above all, my greatest joy and most important commitment in this work is guiding a client to step into a truer version of themselves - a version that is able to step into the joys and challenges of their life more fully than ever.
