Cecilia Ward

I believe that the connection of a safe therapeutic relationship helps a person look more closely at the current struggles interfering with living a more fulfilling life. As a therapist, I value working with bodily, emotional, and mindful awareness. Essentially, I view psychotherapy as a tool for clarity. It is a way of looking and then seeing more deeply that which may hurt us or keep us stuck.

Before starting my private practice, I worked for a non-profit offering trauma therapy. Working with individuals impacted by trauma and abuse continues to be important in my private practice; I am so inspired by the resilience of their healing journeys. 

In my life, I enjoy nature and love to walk with other people, while listening to music or podcasts, or even in silence. I am a mother of two and find life can have a lot of activity, so I strive toward a daily meditation practice. I was born and raised in the lower mainland of Vancouver. As a child of immigrants from South America, I speak Spanish fluently and have benefited from many trips that helped shape an appreciation and curiosity for my own and others’ culturally diverse experiences.
