Christine Dobbelsteyn

About Christine

I am an experienced Masters prepared Gerontologist and Registered Clinical Counselor specializing in strength based, motivational and cognitive behavioral therapy for seniors and their loved ones.

I believe strongly in dignity, choice and maximizing our strengths as we age instead of focusing on illness and limitations. If you find yourself suffering from low self esteem, loneliness, depression or anxiety I can help you learn how to thrive despite challenging times. I will also focus on connecting you with publicly funded or private resources given my extensive experience working in various older adult programs.

If you are a loved one caregiving for an older adult I can help you find a balance between providing support but not fostering dependency. I can also support you in accessing publicly funded services and programs for your loved one.

I provide counseling in your own home in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and the North Shore. Visit offered virtually through Jane, telephone or zoom.

Please reach out at [email protected], www.christinedobbelsteyn.ca or 604-306-2184. I look forward to talking with you and providing a free 15 min session to see if we are a good fit for one another.

Let’s explore the possibilities,
Christine
