Trina Kushnerik, RSW, MSW
British Columbia Registered Social Worker

Hello!

My goal is to create a collaborative, non-judgemental space for you to explore yourself and your life challenges. I am here to empower you with tangible skills and insight to help you cope better so that you may grow and thrive.

I specialize in trauma therapy, counselling survivors of intimate partner violence, and guiding individuals through the complexities of their relationships.

I recognize there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach, and I want to collaborate with you to find an approach that uniquely fits with you.

I draw from the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness based approaches.

I completed my Master of Social Work degree at the University of British Columbia and I am a Registered Social Worker in British Columbia.
