"Marlise provides counselling with kindness in mind. She is known for her warmth, clarity and openness, and will help you to understand yourself better, improve your relationships, and resolve or cope with difficulties in your life. Free initial consultation."

Marlise Meilan, MA, is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, and a Restorative Process Therapist (RPT). She assists individuals, couples, and groups in transforming heartbreak, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief, and works together with her clients to cultivate greater self-awareness and excellent mental health.

As a graduate of the three-year Masters of Counseling Psychology: Contemplative Psychotherapy program from Naropa University in Boulder, CO, Marlise is a Contemplative Psychotherapist . Naropa is an accredited university founded by Tibetan-Buddhist meditation teacher, Chogyam Trungpa. Contemplative Psychotherapy is a melding of client-centered counselling with Buddhist psychology, and requires the therapist to participate in intensive meditation practice. 

In addition to her Contemplative approach to counselling, Marlise also provides Restorative Process Therapy, which is a gentle and effective way of working through psychological issues using relaxing yoga, breath, mindfulness and counselling techniques.

Marlise has attended professional training and workshops in healing trauma, mindfulness techniques, somatic and body-centered psychotherapy, transpersonal psychology, Hakomi, couples & group psychotherapies, and professional ethics.

Additionally, Marlise is a published author, certified hatha yoga teacher, and a graduate of the Visual Arts program from Emily Carr University of Art & Design. She is married, biracial, and believes that one of her greatest strengths as a therapist lay in her extensive experience as a client.
