Liana Yip, MA, MCP, RCC-ACS
Hello!
My name is Liana (pronouns she/her). I was born and raised in Greater Vancouver, on the the unceeded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) ,Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and kwikwəƛ̓ əm (Kwikwetlem) nations. I am a mixed-race, cisgender woman with roots tracing back to China and the UK.
For over twenty years, I have been immersed in the study and practice of psychology. I hold a master’s degree in counselling psychology from Adler University and a second master’s degree in depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I specialized in Jungian and archetypal studies.
That said, I have learnt far more from being a client on the couch than any academic degree or book could teach. Somatic and creative practices such as yoga, dance, writing, and dream work have helped me cultivate a greater sense of connection to myself and the world around me. Being out in nature has been a significant teacher and support.
I feel privileged to be working with a team of skilled therapists and warm and lovely humans. In addition to team supervision and clinic management, from a depth-oriented perspective, I offer support with cultural identity and belonging, eco anxiety, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, trauma, and life transition.
I work with folks who are seeking greater meaning and sense of connection in their lives. Those who long to break free from patterns that perhaps were once helpful but are now worn out or destructive. Those who wish to reclaim lost or forgotten parts of themselves, their ancestral lineages, and their communities; who are seeking autonomy, sovereignty, and a sense of purpose in a world that needs us to show up and participate in our own unique ways more than ever.
The work I do in the world cannot be separated from my ongoing and imperfect engagement with my own healing journey. I attempt to live the work that I offer, and it is my hope that this contributes to a safe, warm, and transformative environment for my clients and for my team.
In my spare time, you can find me on a dance floor or yoga mat, in a forest, or in a cuddle puddle with my two cats, Figgy and Charlie.
