Dania Chebib | MA, Registered Clinical Counsellor | She/they

Hi, I’m Dania.

Who I Am

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor and I am neurodivergent, and queer-identified. I am a settler living on unceded territories in Syilx, and a Syrian Muslim Canadian who grew up in the Middle East. I speak English fluently, as well as some Arabic and French.

I love working with people in the neurodivergent, BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, kink & poly communities. I love connecting with people around their painful parts, and seeing how those parts can bloom when given the care and patience they need. I value being real and authentic both as a therapist and as a human.

Working with me

My approach is warm, collaborative, and hands on. My focus is on supporting you to find a home within your own nervous system so that the feelings don’t feel so big, so alone, and so overwhelming.

I believe that we are all innately wired to heal and that given the opportunity, we can thrive instead of survive.

Other things about me:
  • I am obsessed with emojis 🥕🐢💖🧠🦊
  • I love nature but am terrified of wasps
  • In my downtime I like hyperfocusing on my special interests (and finding new ones). Some of these include: music production, dance, nonduality, sound healing, knitting, stargazing, ufo’s, and most things tech related.
