We chose the name “Crescent Counselling” because it reminds us of the
crescent moon that is in a stage of growth and change.
The crescent moon is a good metaphor for the phases of light and dark that we each go through in our lives. We seek to support you in navigating these phases and deeply believe in each person’s capacity for growth, healing, and change.
‘Crescent’ also reflects our commitment to community well-being and social justice. Much like the moon is one part of an intricate and vast system, we see our clients and ourselves as part of interconnected systems (e.g., our families, culture, institutions) that can be sources of both distress and well-being. We therefore bring a relational and anti-oppressive approach to our work so as to recognize and honour the multiple and complex aspects of identity and experience. We are committed to ongoing learning and un-learning of the ways in which our work as counsellors and the mental health field more broadly are implicated in systems of oppression, community care, and liberatory practices. We offer gender and LGBTQ2S+ affirming care and are committed to cultural responsiveness and humility in our practice.
We currently provide individual, relationship, and family counselling in British Columbia, Canada
