I’m a specialized trauma therapist, with training in EMDR, AEDP & Somatic Therapies

My approach is relational, evidence-driven and compassionate

Hi, I’m Tay

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) living and working on Lekwungen territory in Victoria, BC. When I’m not with clients, you can find me feverishly clacking away on my laptop like Carrie Bradshaw, hand-building ceramics, hosting dinner parties, and wandering through the woods with my dog, Marzy.

I’m your gal if you want a therapist who affirms your brilliance, guides you through emotions with compassion and warmth, and lovingly holds you to the life you deserve.

I’m currently accepting new clients for in-person and online therapy.

If you’d like to explore my therapy offerings, please book a free consultation or email hello@tay-evans.com.
