Welcome to Dragonstone

A community of counsellors offering holistic services integrating mind, body, and spirit.

We practice individual, relationship, and family counselling for diverse clients of all ages and genders in Vancouver, BC.

Our practitioners hail from many walks of life, representing the rich diversity of our communities. Collectively, our team integrates a variety of approaches, creating an environment inviting to LGBTQ2S+ folks, and people of all genders, cultures, and sub-cultures. Our team includes counsellors speaking a variety of languages.

WHat we stand for

  • Holistic Healing

    We believe that healing arises when we attend to mind, body, spirit & our relationship to all that is around us.

  • Diversity

    We embrace each person’s unique experience of culture, gender, race, sexuality, income level, age, ability, spirituality, family, and other significant influences.

  • Social Justice

    We recognize many challenges people face are related to systemic issues and practice using anti-oppressive frameworks.

  • Community

    We are committed to fostering a sense of belonging by encouraging mutual support and connection, and developing resources that build community.
