Hi, I am Karina Crow. I am a Registered Social Worker and have over two decades of front-line and clinical practice. I work from an integrated approach, using different types of counselling modalities to personalize your sessions. I support diversity and welcome people who identify as counter-culturalists, nonconformists, creatives, musicians, and people exploring their meaning in the world. I am an ally with marginalized people and the LGTBQIA2S+ community. I have worked as a front-line worker for many years with multiple non-profits in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver, in Forensic Social Work, Public Health and I currently work in private practice.
I specialize in working with trauma (PTSD, CPTSD OSI), complex family relationships, intergenerational trauma, substance use concerns, and general mental health, such as anxiety, depression and mood disorders. I work from a place to understand you as a whole person, your physical and mental health are connected and I honor this in our counselling sessions. It is of the most importance to me that you feel heard and understood, I will never judge your experience, and will provide a safe environment to talk about anything you choose.
I am a certified Master Accelerated Resolution Therapist (ART), which is a specialized treatment developed for trauma, but can be used for many other areas of concern. It is one of my favorite modalities to use, as it is effective and powerful. I often can take one to three sessions of ART to reprogram stressful emotions, memories and images and move to a place where these experiences no longer trigger strong physical or emotional reactions.

On a personal note, I am a tattoo collector, artist, music lover, motorcycle enthusiast, nature lover, animal parent and human parent. I live with my blended family in the lower mainland.
I am cis gender woman who identifies as Bipoc. I am proudly Metis and German. I work toward reclaiming my own cultures and reconciliation for other marginalized, Indigenous and Bipoc folks.
I am a Registered Social Worker and have close to two decades of front-line and clinical practice in mental health and addictions. I have a bachelor's (BSW), and master's of Social Work (MSW), and hold multiple certifications in various therapy modalities.
