Adam Saunders, M.Ed., S.E.P.

My own deep need for healing was a powerful motivation for becoming a therapist. I trusted that my personal healing journey would also deepen my ability to support others, and I felt a strong calling to be of service to people's healing and growth. I quickly found talk therapy unsatisfying - I wanted to discover what truly helps us to heal at the deeper levels of our emotions, bodies, and nervous systems.

Over more than 20 years as a therapist, I've explored and trained in many approaches. Today, my work draws most deeply on Somatic Experiencing, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), neurofeedback, Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP), and attachment-based approaches.

Through this journey, I've developed a deep trust in what becomes possible when the right conditions are present—both within ourselves, through embodiment, and in the safety and connection of the therapeutic relationship. The depth of healing that can emerge continues to inspire me in my work.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), based in Vancouver, BC. While most of my work takes place in person at my office, I also offer online sessions.
