I’m Krystal Elias, a practicum student at HML Wellness Solutions, pursuing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) and working toward my Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) designation through the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I’m also a student member of the Canadian Association for Play Therapy (CAPT), and I bring over seven years of experience as a social worker supporting children and families in British Columbia.

​

My approach is rooted in respect, curiosity, and compassion. I believe that people are the experts in their own lives, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you sort through what’s feeling heavy. My work is strength-based and person-centered, often using techniques from Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you build insight and coping tools at a pace that feels right for you.

​

While I continue to deepen my skills, I’m most drawn to working with:

​

• Youth (ages 10+) and adults

• People navigating anxiety, stress, school concerns, parenting, and relationships

• Individuals impacted by grief, trauma, discrimination, or racism

• I welcome clients from all backgrounds and strive to create a safe space where your whole self is accepted—no mask required.

​

Whether you're seeking clarity, comfort, or just someone to talk to, I’d be honoured to be part of your journey.

 

I’m currently accepting new clients. As a practicum student, I have wide daytime availability Monday through Friday and can occasionally offer later sessions with notice. 

Let’s connect and explore if working together feels like the right fit.
