Meet Venecia
I'm Venecia Bastidas Garcia, a Registered Clinical Counsellor working with adults across British Columbia. My practice is built on a simple belief: people move forward when they feel genuinely safe, unhurried, and taken seriously.
Together we make sense of what's happening — the anxious nights, the grief that arrives sideways, the patterns that keep repeating. I work in a warm, collaborative way, drawing on person-centred, trauma-informed and emotion-focused approaches, and I adapt to the person in front of me rather than to a method.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. You're welcome exactly as you are, on the hard days as much as the good ones.

How it works
Send a short note through the form below. You don't need the right words — a sentence is plenty.
We meet briefly to talk about what you're looking for and whether working together feels right.
A gentle beginning. We go at your pace, and nothing is expected of you beyond showing up.
We settle into a rhythm that suits your life, checking in regularly on what's helping.
