counsellor Johanna Wickie I work with individuals dealing with challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, addictions, and significant life changes and events. I have extensive experience working with youth, couples, and families, including blended families and couples going through separation and divorce. I also work with individuals seeking career-related support. Prior to my counselling career, I had a diverse professional background with almost two decades of service in the Canadian Forces, a decade in the business sector, and a Master of Business Administration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/5f191c61-e829-430d-97d8-b252906aa778/Carrie_Craig_Arbutus+Counselling.png Meet the Team ASSOCIATE, REGISTERED CLINICAL COUNSELLOR Carrie Craig Counselling can serve as a conduit to positive change. Whether you are navigating a major life change, struggling with grief, or in a challenging relationship, counselling can be a great step in making the changes you wish to see. My hope as a counsellor is to support others in working through their own journeys of pain, discomfort, and growth. Through the creation of a trusting and empathetic relationship, clients are provided with the opportunity to feel heard and valued. This provides the foundation for self-awareness, confidence, and growth. Together, we will develop a collaborative process where you feel you can build upon your strengths and find success. You are the person who decides where the journey will take you, I am the person who will help you build the roads to get there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1fac9147-5418-4b59-aeac-97ce520136f8/Rebecca_Owen_Arbutus+Counselling.png Meet the Team Graduate Intern Therapist Rebecca Owen Therapy can be an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that may have been pushed aside in the busyness of life. My goal as a counsellor is to hold space for your experiences—without judgment—and to support you in uncovering insight, clarity, and a deeper sense of self-trust. My approach is relational, grounded, and humanistic. My background includes a decade of experience in mental health nursing to my counselling work, and I deeply value and prioritize collaboration, authenticity, and compassion in the therapeutic process. I work from a cognitive behavioural, person-centered, existential, and Adlerian lens, with a strong belief that each person already holds within themselves the capacity for growth and healing. Sometimes we just need the right environment—and relationship—to reconnect with ourselves and others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/5654994c-7869-4108-8a58-19afd280dce4/Ericka_York_Arbutus+Counselling.png Meet the Team Graduate Intern Therapist ERICKA YORK When life feels full or fast-paced, therapy can offer a much-needed pause. It’s a chance to reset, gain perspective, and reconnect with what matters most to you. As a Graduate Intern Therapist, I aim to offer a grounded and compassionate presence where you can feel safe, heard, and supported in exploring what matters most to you. I’m passionate about supporting individuals navigating parenting, anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, perfectionism, pre- and postnatal shifts, and career or identity changes. Before pursuing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, I spent over a decade leading teams in the corporate world, working for start-ups and large technology companies. This work shaped my belief in people’s innate capacity to grow when they feel supported, respected, and seen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/0bf078e1-a764-4447-9bcd-e81a383f5c25/Risa_Yokoi_Arbutus+Counselling+%281%29.png Meet the Team Graduate Intern Therapist & ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR RisA Yokoi As a Graduate Intern Counsellor, I am committed to tailoring each session to your needs in the present moment. To me, there is no “one size fits all.” My hope is to collaboratively identify inner strengths and move toward meaningful and hopeful change through genuine trust and connection. I too appreciate the challenges of change, with my upbringing living in various countries and relocating to Canada over a decade ago myself. As the Administrative Coordinator, I bring ten years of administration expertise specific to the counselling field, I find true joy in helping to make administrative details seamless, thus making the counselling process that much more comfortable for clients and clinicians. My responsibilities allow for more energy and focus to be placed on the client's therapeutic journey. My role at Arbutus Counselling is built on my long standing working relationship with Johanna and my aligned values with her commitment to care for meeting people “where they are”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1eb69ea4-08a6-4dba-ae0b-c5a69ae996f8/Bru+-+Arbutus+Counselling.png Meet the Team PUPPY IN RESIDENCE BRU Bru, the youngest member of the Arbutus Counselling team, came to Vancouver via Seoul, Korea in 2021 through a Korean based rescue association. Bru is an eight pound Yorkshire Terrier who is very happy to visit and connect with clients as often as he is able. Bru is a hypo-allergenic and extremely friendly dog, who hopes to visit with any client who might be open to some unconditional friendship. Bru works with Johanna mainly in the mornings. If you happen to have any specific concerns about having Bru in the office, please let Johanna know and she will work to address these concerns or make other arrangements that are suitable to you. https://www.arbutuscounselling.com/about daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/3524ce1c-f26b-4e05-974b-c45ce7e2fdfa/Arbutus+Counselling+_+Johanna+Wickie.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/2c2c912b-f0df-439c-8f47-62aa1bc3f312/Arbutus+Counselling+_+Carrie+Craig+Therapist+Intern+_+Vancouver.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/2a69f42f-ff09-49da-8374-d5d8d16e9118/Arbutus+Counselling++Ericka+York+Therapist+Intern++Vancouver++%281%29.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/e415f963-3395-402d-9abf-f26d33671897/Arbutus+Counselling++Risa+Yokoi.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/ca1883a3-8c83-458e-9858-4b47a37c8cf1/Arbutus+Counselling+_+Rebecca+OwenTherapist+Intern+_+Vancouver.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/8dbdb5b9-593f-4030-905b-35e5d45b5c50/Arbutus+Counselling+_+Vancouver-Bru.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/20012273-0850-4ed4-9d14-4f93da5b8781/andrew-neel-0AwoTNSdwVM-unsplash.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/4674f600-c5e1-4b4a-9d54-28a56cea8a7b/Home9+copy.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/3f4a1fc1-e711-45f8-80e5-9302b3fc7ceb/Arbutus+Counselling+-+Gallery.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1dc97ea7-5e59-4078-b8ed-ba27f39c387c/Get+Started+Arbutus+Counselling.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1631026957992-57TH06GZHIWQBNOG6TTV/Arbutus%252BCounseling.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1607294349721-BURBXN4FQG12XQZD6TNZ/About12.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1620253384788-N2EDZ5GUK4WK48QHP8VC/About+Arbutus+Counselling.png About Arbutus tree in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1620248759637-MWFOLV8X8KV0XBRNKNR2/About+Arbutus+Counselling+Johanna+Wickie About Hand holding a compass in front of forest trees https://www.arbutuscounselling.com/graduate-interns-copy daily 0.75 2025-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/20012273-0850-4ed4-9d14-4f93da5b8781/andrew-neel-0AwoTNSdwVM-unsplash.jpg Graduate Interns (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/4674f600-c5e1-4b4a-9d54-28a56cea8a7b/Home9+copy.png Graduate Interns (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/3f4a1fc1-e711-45f8-80e5-9302b3fc7ceb/Arbutus+Counselling+-+Gallery.jpg Graduate Interns (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1dc97ea7-5e59-4078-b8ed-ba27f39c387c/Get+Started+Arbutus+Counselling.jpg Graduate Interns (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1631026957992-57TH06GZHIWQBNOG6TTV/Arbutus%252BCounseling.jpg Graduate Interns (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1607294349721-BURBXN4FQG12XQZD6TNZ/About12.jpg Graduate Interns (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/e8a7a285-c1c7-493c-a98c-1c8f42cbc3ec/Intern+Counselling+Services++Arbutus+Counselling+%281%29.png Graduate Interns (Copy) Arbutus tree in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/291f285b-4ae4-4788-a789-e3cc08940466/Tamara+_+Arbutus+Counselling.png Graduate Interns (Copy) - GRADUATE INTERN THERAPIST Tamara Meinzer I come to the field of counselling with over a decade of experience as a dental hygienist and a wealth of life experience. Prior to that I completed a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and in January 2020 I commenced a Master of Counselling degree. I am joining Arbutus Counselling as a Graduate Intern Therapist where I will continue to develop and expand my knowledge and skills to better serve the needs of counselling clients prior to registration with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors as a Registered Clinical Counsellor in late 2022. We have all had to endure struggles at some point – it’s the cost of admission to this thing called life. At the same time, I believe that we have innate resilience and strength to draw upon and a capacity to change and grow. In working collaboratively with you, my intention is to facilitate a safe place for you to explore and develop insight and awareness, develop new skills, all while helping you set and reach your goals. My approach is integrative and rooted in non-judgment, empathy, and compassion. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, or major life transitions, I look forward to supporting you. I know it takes courage to seek support and I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/5de0c597-ad14-4376-8154-6753bca07e80/Images+%28Ventura%29.png Graduate Interns (Copy) - We have all had to endure struggles at some point – it’s the cost of admission to this thing called life.

While holding a compassionate and safe space I am not afraid to sit in this discomfort with you and to work collaboratively to find answers that are specific to you. I commit to bringing my authentic “Johanna” self to each session in the hope to build an equal and trustworthy relationship for us to face your life challenges together. I find humour and honesty to be integral to this process, and welcome laughter in sessions. My approach to counselling is focussed on empowerment and authenticity. The aim is to find your own unique definition of success. The aim is never to work harder, but to live and work more effectively, reclaiming time and energy for yourself. https://www.arbutuscounselling.com/graduate-intern-services daily 0.75 2025-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/20012273-0850-4ed4-9d14-4f93da5b8781/andrew-neel-0AwoTNSdwVM-unsplash.jpg Graduate Intern Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/4674f600-c5e1-4b4a-9d54-28a56cea8a7b/Home9+copy.png Graduate Intern Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/3f4a1fc1-e711-45f8-80e5-9302b3fc7ceb/Arbutus+Counselling+-+Gallery.jpg Graduate Intern Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1dc97ea7-5e59-4078-b8ed-ba27f39c387c/Get+Started+Arbutus+Counselling.jpg Graduate Intern Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1631026957992-57TH06GZHIWQBNOG6TTV/Arbutus%252BCounseling.jpg Graduate Intern Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1607294349721-BURBXN4FQG12XQZD6TNZ/About12.jpg Graduate Intern Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/6dfddb03-4e16-4964-b7b0-a322595bffeb/Intern-Counselling-Services-Arbutus-Counselling.png Graduate Intern Services Arbutus tree in Vancouver https://www.arbutuscounselling.com/our-space daily 0.75 2025-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/20012273-0850-4ed4-9d14-4f93da5b8781/andrew-neel-0AwoTNSdwVM-unsplash.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/27393df4-8f1f-4965-874c-13b1a504ee96/Office-Arbutus-Counselling-Vancouver.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/4674f600-c5e1-4b4a-9d54-28a56cea8a7b/Home9+copy.png Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/bd89d90a-04cd-462e-95bf-443ab29d4ba1/Office-Arbutus-Counselling-Vancouver-2.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/3f4a1fc1-e711-45f8-80e5-9302b3fc7ceb/Arbutus+Counselling+-+Gallery.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/6e5b0d6d-4f4e-4fad-9d21-6a31243c3023/Office-Arbutus-Counselling-Vancouver-3.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1dc97ea7-5e59-4078-b8ed-ba27f39c387c/Get+Started+Arbutus+Counselling.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/19f04ea0-780b-47fa-a326-2cdc58845614/Office-Arbutus-Counselling-Vancouver-4.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1631026957992-57TH06GZHIWQBNOG6TTV/Arbutus%252BCounseling.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/eec0ca08-81b0-4e5e-8e5e-4a5d0e8e58a6/Office-Arbutus-Counselling-Vancouver-5.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/001390e6-d481-4164-a9bd-88de50558496/Office-Arbutus-Counselling-Vancouver-6.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1607294349721-BURBXN4FQG12XQZD6TNZ/About12.jpg Our Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/a4a492b0-20f6-4555-acc9-e8f073c4136f/Arbutus+Counselling+_+Vancouver+%282%29.png Our Space -

Whether you are navigating a major life change, struggling with grief, or in a challenging relationship, counselling can be a great step in making the changes you wish to see. My hope as a counsellor is to support others in working through their own journeys of pain, discomfort, and growth. Through the creation of a trusting and empathetic relationship, clients are provided with the opportunity to feel heard and valued. This provides the foundation for self-awareness, confidence, and growth. Together, we will develop a collaborative process where you feel you can build upon your strengths and find success. You are the person who decides where the journey will take you, I am the person who will help you build the roads to get there. https://www.arbutuscounselling.com/about-rebecca-owen daily 0.75 2025-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/20012273-0850-4ed4-9d14-4f93da5b8781/andrew-neel-0AwoTNSdwVM-unsplash.jpg Rebecca Owen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/4674f600-c5e1-4b4a-9d54-28a56cea8a7b/Home9+copy.png Rebecca Owen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/3f4a1fc1-e711-45f8-80e5-9302b3fc7ceb/Arbutus+Counselling+-+Gallery.jpg Rebecca Owen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1dc97ea7-5e59-4078-b8ed-ba27f39c387c/Get+Started+Arbutus+Counselling.jpg Rebecca Owen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1631026957992-57TH06GZHIWQBNOG6TTV/Arbutus%252BCounseling.jpg Rebecca Owen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1607294349721-BURBXN4FQG12XQZD6TNZ/About12.jpg Rebecca Owen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/b5df6e70-5e7a-40f9-91e5-8d4e24170467/Rebecca_Owen_Arbutus+Counselling.png Rebecca Owen Graduate Intern Therapist Rebecca Owen Rebecca will be on leave from Arbutus Counselling for the majority of 2026. Please reach out to johanna@arbutuscounselling for assistance in the meantime. Therapy can be an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that may have been pushed aside in the busyness of life. My goal as a counsellor is to hold space for your experiences—without judgment—and to support you in uncovering insight, clarity, and a deeper sense of self-trust. My approach is relational, grounded, and humanistic. My background includes a decade of experience in mental health nursing to my counselling work, and I deeply value and prioritize collaboration, authenticity, and compassion in the therapeutic process. I work from a cognitive behavioural, person-centered, existential, and Adlerian lens, with a strong belief that each person already holds within themselves the capacity for growth and healing. Sometimes we just need the right environment—and relationship—to reconnect with ourselves and others. https://www.arbutuscounselling.com/ericka-york daily 0.75 2025-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/20012273-0850-4ed4-9d14-4f93da5b8781/andrew-neel-0AwoTNSdwVM-unsplash.jpg Ericka York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/4674f600-c5e1-4b4a-9d54-28a56cea8a7b/Home9+copy.png Ericka York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/3f4a1fc1-e711-45f8-80e5-9302b3fc7ceb/Arbutus+Counselling+-+Gallery.jpg Ericka York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1dc97ea7-5e59-4078-b8ed-ba27f39c387c/Get+Started+Arbutus+Counselling.jpg Ericka York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1631026957992-57TH06GZHIWQBNOG6TTV/Arbutus%252BCounseling.jpg Ericka York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1607294349721-BURBXN4FQG12XQZD6TNZ/About12.jpg Ericka York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/dbc9cfe1-bc96-4ab7-b7ec-842075bf3298/Ericka_York_Arbutus+Counselling.png Ericka York Graduate Intern Therapist ERICKA YORK When life feels full or fast-paced, therapy can offer a much-needed pause. It’s a chance to reset, gain perspective, and reconnect with what matters most to you. As a Graduate Intern Therapist, I aim to offer a grounded and compassionate presence where you can feel safe, heard, and supported in exploring what matters most to you. My approach is warm, gentle, collaborative, and rooted in deep respect for each client’s unique lived experience. I draw from a range of modalities including Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens. I also integrate principles of self-compassion throughout my work. https://www.arbutuscounselling.com/about-risa-yokoi daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/20012273-0850-4ed4-9d14-4f93da5b8781/andrew-neel-0AwoTNSdwVM-unsplash.jpg Risa Yokoi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/4674f600-c5e1-4b4a-9d54-28a56cea8a7b/Home9+copy.png Risa Yokoi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/3f4a1fc1-e711-45f8-80e5-9302b3fc7ceb/Arbutus+Counselling+-+Gallery.jpg Risa Yokoi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1dc97ea7-5e59-4078-b8ed-ba27f39c387c/Get+Started+Arbutus+Counselling.jpg Risa Yokoi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1631026957992-57TH06GZHIWQBNOG6TTV/Arbutus%252BCounseling.jpg Risa Yokoi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/1607294349721-BURBXN4FQG12XQZD6TNZ/About12.jpg Risa Yokoi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb8368b154fea00a9b692c0/69f7233c-1972-48e1-be60-74acb1419685/Risa_Yokoi_Arbutus+Counselling.png Risa Yokoi Graduate Intern Therapist Risa Yokoi Counselling is about creating a brave space where meaningful change unfolds—where you explore your experiences, determine your identity and discover a deeper sense of connection to yourself. You may be feeling overwhelmed and challenged by life transitions or relationship difficulties. There are so many valid reasons to start or re-start therapy. In therapy sessions with me, you can expect authenticity, curiosity and humour. My work is grounded in respectful collaboration and genuine connection. While I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities, including Humanistic, Mindfulness, Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioural, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, my priority is discovering the therapeutic path that feels right for you. As a Graduate Intern Counsellor, I am committed to tailoring each session to your needs in the present moment. To me, there is no “one size fits all.”
