Johnathan Kuipers

My practice framework mainly includes mindfulness-based, somatic, cognitive behavioural, and creative/expressive methods. I adapt and interweave my approaches to meet the needs of my clients.

As a Clinical Social Worker, I am committed to an anti-oppressive, strengths-based, and whole-person-centered approach to practice. I am rooted firmly in my professional values and am guided by the principles that underpin ethical and evidence-based practice.

My goal is to empower my clients while respecting the unique sensitivities each of us has. As we uncover strengths and stressors in our work together, my goal is to foster a supportive environment for accessing what seems important, processing the heart of the matter, and integrating new understandings - all the while, picking up useful skills and strategies along the way.

I am committed to providing an affirming and inclusive space for people of all backgrounds, beliefs, abilities, orientations, and identities. I believe that regardless of who we are or where we come from, each of us deserves a space to be and be seen.

I work exclusively online (via zoom) with adults and adolescents, as well as couples and families who live in the Canadian Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.
