11295 MELLIS DRIVE – RICHMOND, BC
Our goal is to help our clients feel supported in the increasingly more mainstream experience of depression symptoms. Depression is on the rise; one of the foremost causes of this illness is disconnection - disconnection between mind, body, and sense of self which arises from many different circumstances.
Combining mindfulness with proven psychotherapy, our 12-week group sessions offer support, counselling and practical skills for women living with depression.
Each weekly session will progressively build from the previous weeks in a calm and comfortable environment.
Meeting in person once a week for 90 minutes, our group is limited to 12 people to best support those in attendance.
Cost: $600

Juliana’s clinical work over the last 10 years has deepened and expanded her gentle wisdom and ability to empathize with us all.

Anila Lacroix
E-RYT500, YACEP
Anilā Lacroix is currently a Psychology and Philosophy student at the University of British Columbia. She is studying to specialise in neuropsychology and trauma psychotherapy with a focus on depression and anxiety. Her research papers have focused on combining neuroplasticity with mindful self-care. Her calm and clear perspective arises from her decades of being a yoga teacher and teacher trainer in Vancouver and Salt Spring Island. Her additional trauma-informed training comes through personal experience, gained after a couple of car collisions and years in chronic pain counselling, rehabilitation and physical therapy.
Anila's intuitive approach and quiet, mischievous spirit creates safety for all who are around her, while her knowledge of the mind body systems combined with her ability to observe and gently suggest new possibilities inspires healing and trust in all who have worked and learned with her. She weaves meditation, breathing practices and ancient teachings into her everyday conversations so that mind, body and spirit have something to learn and nurture.
Anila is a single mom to two sons attending UBC, and to their trusty companions, Sage the Dog and Kink the Cat.
