Andrea Gertz, MSW, RSW

Everyone deserves to feel heard and understood.
Everyone needs someone to talk to.

Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, anger, grief, low self-esteem, or relationship challenges, I am here to listen and support you.

My approach to counselling is collaborative, warm, and non-judgmental. I believe that building a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for helping each person I work with heal and grow.

My counselling practice is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapeutic models depending on each individual's situation and needs. Therapeutic modalities include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of British Columbia. I am a Registered Social Worker (#14274) with the BC College of Social Workers.
