This Is Where I Can Help!

My name is Amanda Sparkes, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work, where my focus was in the area of mental health and addiction , specifically serving and working within northern rural and remote communities and service provisions.

My Approach to practice specializes in the understanding of ‘culturally respectful social work practice’, an anti-oppressive paradigm, and holistic healing through mindful practice.

I am experienced in offering counselling services to children, youth, adults, and families focusing on issues including overall mental health and wellness, substance use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression.

Within the realm of counselling and clinical social work practice, my approach to healing is largely holistic, multi-disciplinary, and client-centered. My intention in providing therapy for people is to assist in navigating one to individual growth, healing, health, and wellness through various therapeutic modalities contingent upon what resonates and speaks to each individual.

Healing is an individualized dynamic journey. I feel grateful and blessed to have the opportunity to assist in helping my clients grow, heal, and journey to living their best lives.
