Keara Dean, R

egistered Social Worker (BSW, RSW, Psychotherapist)

Hi! My name is Keara (She/her). I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the immense amount of courage and strength it takes to access care for your mental health. Just by attending therapy you have given yourself permission to be vulnerable. I am honoured that you would consider including me on your healing journey.

The process of working through emotional and physical pain is not easy. I myself am familiar with physical and emotional trauma, invisible illness and the experience of trying to navigate the traditional medical system. Together, we will explore the interconnectedness of mind and body and how, as individuals, our experiences are as unique as we are.

I believe in using a client centred approach to therapy, where the client is the expert over their own life. In this capacity, I will work with you to create a safe and supportive space that is inclusive, compassionate and empathetic. To accomplish this, I will help you identify what you want to explore, then guide and support your journey of self discovery.

I use a feminist, client-centred and trauma informed approach and apply aspects of nature-based therapy to ensure individualized care for each person. I am also an avid outdoor adventurist, forest wanderer, former competitive mountain biker and enjoy the healing powers of nature. I believe in working within an inclusive, multidisciplinary, collaborative environment and am excited to be part of the Femade Team.

Keara offers her services in English.
