Maddie Skidmore

MSW, RSW.

I am a Burnaby-based counsellor, currently accepting new clients for online counselling and in-person therapy sessions. I help clients achieve their goals, overcome challenges, and develop stronger relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Now is the time to put your mental health first. I believe that trust, compassion and connection are the building blocks for an effective and enjoyable therapeutic process. I take great pride in my compassionate and understanding nature.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to fostering an environment of safety, respect and ongoing learning. I am committed to continuously educating myself on diverse perspectives and experiences, ensuring that my practice remains inclusive, anti-racist and anti-oppressive.

Book your free consultation today and we can work together to improve your mental health and wellness.

Collaborative
