Annika Vander Kooy
Annika is a registered MSW with 10+ years of experience serving vulnerable populations in the Trauma and Addictions recovery field. She is passionate about helping clients reclaim meaning in their experiences.
Annika takes a strengths-based approach to her work – focusing on attachment and using therapeutic rapport to foster empowerment. Through recovery, individuals’ capacity for connections with themselves, others and the world around them grow and strengthen. Annika helps clients process their experiences, tap into their resiliencies and build connections to expand their world. As a visual artist, she also brings a creative approach to her counselling work using expressive arts and non-talk therapy modalities to help clients express experiences that are often too difficult or painful to put into words.
