Hi my name is Patricia Mirth Naguiat (she/her/they/them) and I am delighted to join the Limitless Wellness team. I am a Filipino-Canadian living in wonderful Port Alberni. I immigrated to Canada when I was only two years old and grew up in Surrey, BC before making the move to the island. I am currently a Master’s of Clinical Counselling student working toward my certification. I am passionate about providing anti-oppressive, trauma-informed service to the community and creating a space for individuals to share their stories and grow. I align with humanistic, person-centered approaches as well as narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and family systems. As an artist and poet I also bring a lens of expressive arts and play to sessions where I believe art can create meaningful pathways of healing and connection. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors with my dog, Kulit, making pottery in my basement, or watching baking competitions on Netflix.
I am offering reduced rate counselling as I work to complete my practicum and I am excited to be working with my community in Port Alberni.
