Our Services
2Spirit Counselling and Consultation offers a number of services designed to support the psycho-social-emotional-spiritual wellbeing of Indigenous and 2SLGBTQIA+ Peoples, such as individual therapy, hormone readiness assessments, individual consultation for practitioners, and organizational consultation services. All services are currently being offered virtually.
Although our services are designed to meet the needs of Indigenous and 2SLGBTQIA+ Peoples, we also welcome family, friends, and allies into our services. There may be times where priority is given to ensuring Indigenous and 2SLGBTQIA+ Peoples have access to services.
We are currently accepting new clients for individual therapy and hormone readiness assessments with some sliding scale spaces available on a no-questions-asked basis for as little as $50 per session. We ask that all new clients please inquire about our services below using the contact form, through email, or by calling our clinic directly.
If you are an Indigenous person living in British Columbia, you may qualify to have your therapy covered through the First Nations Health Authority. Please feel free to reach out for more details or visit FNHA's Website.
*Accepted payment methods are Interac e-transfer, Visa, and MasterCard. Payment is due at the beginning of each session unless using 3rd party billing. We currently provide 3rd party billing through the Telus eClaims system and accept all insurance companies participating in that program. We also accept the First Nation's Health Authority Mental Health Benefit and Metis Counselling Connection Programs.

Owner - Liam King (they/them)
I provide culturally safe and affirming virtual therapy services to community members in British Columbia. My services are focused on supporting clients heal from systems of oppression and take a holistic approach to wellness. After engaging in therapy, clients often report feeling an increased sense of self-identity and resiliency, higher self-esteem, and a greater sense of empowerment. I approach my work through a narrative storytelling lens using my own lived experiences as an Indigenous Gender-Diverse person to relate to my clients in meaningful ways.
​
I ground my work in Indigenous Feminist, 2Spirit, and Queer perspectives that understand the subjective nature of client experiences. This approach recognizes power dynamics, issues of gender-based violence, and the role they serve in colonialism. We all experience the world differently, therefore I believe the approach used with each client needs to be as diverse and unique as they are. Together, we will work to understand which skills and practices best fit your needs.
My Story
I was raised in a small rural town in British Columbia. Growing up, I didn't have the privilege of understanding my Indigenous or gender-diverse identities. This came to me quite late in life. Not understanding these aspects of myself took a toll as I grew and developed, resulting in unhappiness, confusion, shame, and doubt. I found my own therapeutic journey to be the cornerstone of my healing, providing me with a trusting relationship, skills, and knowledge to build a positive and meaningful life. Going on this journey of self-discovery has guided me to work with Indigenous and 2SLGBTQIA+ Peoples and support them in better understanding their identity and how to achieve balance.
​
I started my university career at Selkirk College in 2014. I then moved on to the University of British Columbia where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology (2019). I also earned a Master of Science degree, focusing on Indigenous Gender and Health (2021), and a Master of Social Work degree, focusing on clinical mental health treatment for Indigenous and 2SLGBTQIA+ Peoples (2023).

Today, I live in Vernon, BC with my beautiful family. I enjoy beading, spending time with friends and family, and going on the land for harvesting and ceremony.
