Trauma counselling in Squamish & Online
Alejs Lluis-Nawaz, MEd, RCC
Experiential, relational counselling for trauma, anxiety, and life transitions in Squamish and online
I’m Alejs, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) offering relational, collaborative, trauma-informed therapy in Squamish and online. I work with youth (16+) and adults navigating anxiety, depression, chronic stress, burnout, identity exploration, life transitions, and the emotional impacts of trauma and other difficult or overwhelming experiences.
I work with modalities like EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Brainspotting, and Coherence Therapy. These powerful tools are grounded in grounded in contemporary neuroscience focusing directly on the brain’s earliest responses to overwhelming experiences, emotional memory, and our natural capacity for memory reconsolidation.
A depth-oriented, non-pathologizing approach
I understand the patterns you’re struggling with not as something broken in you, but as coherent responses shaped by past experiences and relational contexts. We work collaboratively and experientially to process the emotional patterns that feel stuck, so that change becomes possible.
As a queer and trans therapist, I’m committed to culturally responsive, anti-oppressive care for 2SLGBTQIA+, racialized, kinky, non-monogamous, sex worker, and neurodivergent folks. I also enjoy working with outdoor athletes and people in the mountain community, including those navigating injury, fear after a close call, burnout, or identity beyond the sport. And I welcome anyone living with the impacts of trauma or chronic stress.
