Annita Phypers

Are you struggling to find the meaning and fulfillment you desire? My practice is focused on meeting you where you are and journeying with you in the direction of your personal goals. If you are interested in working together to address any obstacles that are getting in your way, I am happy to walk with you. Through creativity and connection, I integrate interventions based on each client’s unique needs. I hold social justice, inclusivity and trauma-informed values. These values contribute to a compassionate and client-centred focus within the counselling session. I believe clients have agency over their own lives and healing process.

As a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Counselling degree, I have a private practice, I also have experience counselling with post-secondary students, and have a work history in the fields of mental health, education and criminal justice. I have volunteer experience with social justice initiatives, interpersonal violence recovery and youth justice.

For me, life has been an adventure. Some mountaintops with amazing views, some valleys of loss, learning and growth. I have lived half of my life in the far north (Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories). In relationships, I have been privileged to experience family, chosen family, parenting and partnership. I love any creative process, which sometimes looks like making pottery, writing, painting or just taking the backroads.
