Counselling
Counselling is an opportunity to examine your inner world, life events, and anything causing confusion or distress, so that you can gain greater self-understanding. It can also be a time to explore the psychological and somatic patterns that may be keeping you stuck so that you can create more space, and consider new options for coping and thriving. I work from a relational, harm reduction, trauma-informed, and somatic orientation to help clients connect with their inner healing intelligence as they work towards their definition of recovery.

Nurse Practitioner Mental Health Services
My role as a Nurse Practitioner allows me to integrate clinical tools—like diagnostic assessments and lab orders—with a holistic view of mental wellness. I view medications through a balanced lens, acknowledging their potential for both benefit and risk. Although the DSM is a tool I know well, I prefer not to define clients by their labels, opting instead for a non-pathologizing and pragmatic approach to symptoms. Guided by trauma-informed principles, I specialize in harm reduction and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy to support your individual path to healing.
Please note that I no longer offer regular prescription psychiatric medications through my private practice. Clients are encouraged to connect with a primary care provider for any prescriptions or medical care needs.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
I am honored to offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as an independent Nurse Practitioner and Registered Clinical Counsellor at my clinic in Vancouver’s Fairview neighborhood. I offer individualized, evidence-based Intramuscular (IM) Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for clients navigating conditions including treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and end-of-life distress. Because Ketamine can be safely combined with most antidepressants, it remains a versatile option for those currently managed by other medications.
My clinic is a proud member of KAPstone Clinics, a multidisciplinary network dedicated to raising the standard of mental health care. Through a commitment to clinical excellence and collective advocacy, we strive to advance the field of conscientious ketamine treatment.
Meet Keren
Hi. My name is Keren and I'm a dual qualified Family Nurse Practitioner and Registered Clinical Counsellor with two decades of experience in mental health, substance use, and harm reduction. I blend solid education in mainstream psychiatry and psychopharmacology with specialized training in psychedelic and somatic therapy, and extensive personal experience navigating non-ordinary states of consciousness. My core values include trauma-informed practice and a non-pathologizing approach to understanding mental health and distress. I aim to support clients to move towards greater psychospiritual integration through counselling, working with medicines, and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy.
