John Reilly MSW RSW (he/him)

Please note, in mid-August I will be moving and subsequently relocating my practice to Powell River, BC. Beginning the first week of September I will be providing online, video sessions only until we can find suitable space in Powell River in which to provide in-person sessions. I wish to continue the services I have provided to all clients and am open to switching to video-based sessions with those of you who have been receiving in-person services. I will do my best to refer clients to other colleagues, should you wish to continue your counselling and/or therapy in person. I regret any difficulty or hardship this may create for any of my clients.

In 1995, I completed a Masters in Social Work and since then have practiced as a registered social worker in both Alberta and British Columbia. I provide counselling and therapy for individuals and couples seeking greater vitality in their lives. I am skilled in supporting people who are experiencing the impacts of trauma, mental health challenges and problematic substance use as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss and/or relationship challenges. The variety of approaches that I employ create an eclectic palate through which I engage individuals or couples in creative processes of transformation.

My practice hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10:00AM to 5:00PM. If these times suit you, please do get in touch.

Individual Sessions: My fee is $165.00 per 55 minute session. Longer or shorter sessions will cost proportionately more or less than the hourly rate.

In particular circumstances, a reduced rate may be negotiated.

My services are GST exempt.
