Meet Priya Sharma, the new Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor for Tsartlip

Hi! My name is Priya Sharma and I am the new Mental Health and Addictions Counsellor here with Tsartlip First Nation.

I have worked as a counsellor for over four years, the last two have been primarily with Indigenous communities in interior BC. I specialize in Trauma and Addictions Counselling and also carry certifications for Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Group Therapy. I take a holistic approach to Counselling, my treatment plans are a blend of the medicine wheel and seven grandfather teachings and my client’s unique individual needs. I am an empathetic professional who likes to create a calm, safe, and, therapeutic space for my clients that encourages healing and connection. Therapy can take a lot of work and I can’t promise that I will solve all your problems. What I can promise is that you won’t have to face the issues alone. I am passionate about the work that I do and feel grateful for the opportunity to work for your community.
