Haven Wellness Collective - Counselling

Haven Wellness Collective is a multidisciplinary team of registered clinical counsellors and a physiotherapist providing trauma-informed, collaborative, and integrative services in Vancouver and online. The practice was founded in 2023 and operates out of a private office space on West Broadway in Kitsilano, serving clients from Kitsilano, Arbutus Ridge, and Fairview neighborhoods. They offer both in-person and virtual sessions to support physical, mental, emotional, and relational health.

Counselling fees range from $150 to $170 for 50-minute individual sessions and $220 to $255 for 75-minute sessions, with couples/family sessions costing between $175 and $300. The practice offers a limited number of sliding scale spots at $100 to $110 for 50-minute individual sessions specifically for students and low-income clients. A $5.00 processing fee is added if payment is made by credit card, and accepted methods include cheque or e-transfers.

The practice requires 48 hours notice for cancellations or changes to appointments, with a 50% fee charged if less than 48 hours notice is given. For physiotherapy, at least 24 hours' notice is required for a cancellation at no charge, while late cancellations within 24 hours incur a 50% fee. A missed appointment or no-show results in the full fee being charged for both services.

The team includes registered clinical counsellors Amy Dreyer, Paula Villagómez Volkers, Courtney Brown, Leanne Barden, Sandy Zhang, Kate James, and Malar Chandran, alongside physiotherapist Tony Cruz. Each practitioner has specific pronouns, works with different age groups, and offers services in various languages such as English, Spanish, and Mandarin. Amy Kobelt is also listed as a registered clinical counsellor working with children 12+ and youth.

The practice provides a wide range of therapies including EMDR, OEI therapy, art therapy, and somatic therapy alongside standard modalities like CBT and DBT. Physiotherapy services include dry needling, IMS treatment, and ergonomic assessments for neurological disorders and motor vehicle accidents. The team also offers play therapy and sandtray therapy for children and youth.

Clients can book appointments for counselling or physiotherapy via the website's booking system, which allows selecting specific therapists based on their pronouns and areas of expertise. The contact form also lets users specify if their request is related to CVAP, ICBC, or WorkSafe services. Appointments can be scheduled for weekday mornings, afternoons, early evenings, or weekends depending on availability.

The physiotherapy clinic is located at W 10th & Alma, separate from the counselling office on West Broadway, and Tony Cruz also provides in-home physiotherapy in Vancouver. The counselling office is intentionally furnished to provide safety and coziness, with free 2-hour street parking nearby. Both locations are easily accessible by transit.

A Google review from So-Lin Sham praises physiotherapist Tony Cruz for being patient and explaining muscle and tendon anatomy in a way that helps clients understand injuries and mechanics. The review highlights how this approach made a huge difference in recovery by easing pain and getting clients moving better through targeted stretches and exercises.

The practice explicitly values a holistic and integrated approach that supports physical, mental, emotional, and relational health. They describe their space as a safe place to land, emphasizing trauma-informed care and the relational aspect of healing. The team is described as multidisciplinary, bringing together Vancouver counsellors and physiotherapy on one team.

The practice works with a diverse range of concerns including ADHD, ASD, perinatal mental health, and sexual assault or sexual abuse. They also support clients dealing with grief and loss, familial conflict, and racial identity exploration. The team is committed to providing inclusive counselling for BIPOC individuals and neurodiverse clients.

The practice operates on traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. The team includes Canadian Certified Counsellors and Registered Marriage and Family Therapists with minimum master's degrees. The physiotherapist works in English and Spanish, while counsellors work in English, Spanish, and Mandarin.

The practice offers a 75-minute couples/family counselling session at a rate of $250 to $300, which is longer than the standard 50-minute individual session. The 75-minute individual session costs $220 to $255, reflecting the extended time for deeper work. The 50-minute couples/family session is priced at $175 to $200.

The practice provides online therapy as a core service, allowing clients to access counselling from anywhere. The physiotherapist also offers online appointments for those who prefer remote care. The team ensures that both in-person and virtual options are available for all services.
