Stephen J. Brown MSW, RSW

Experienced, understanding, and passionate about helping you find ways to be and act that work well in your life.

In providing service to you, I strive to be nonjudgmental, accepting, and collaborative. I will approach you and your situation as unique: creatively applying what I have learned about human behaviour through more than 3 decades of continuous study and practical experience in providing therapy that includes Body-Centred Psychotherapy, Brief Family Therapy, Coaching, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Group Therapy, Hypnosis, Mindfulness, Psychodrama and Psychodynamic Therapy.

For most of the past 21 years, while in Vancouver, I have provided service for Vancouver Coastal Health: on a psychiatric ward, in brain injury rehabilitation and in community mental health. I have also maintained a private practice since 2008. Prior to establishing Effective Counselling, I worked with the team at Clearheart Counselling.
