Dinah Rose Steele, MC, RCC
Dinah is a white, genderfluid (she/they), queer femme born and raised in the Commercial Drive area of so-called Vancouver, on the unceded territories of the Squamish, Tsleil-Watuth, and Musqueum peoples.
Dinah’s passion for counselling began during her own healing journey in 2015. It was their own experience of learning to embrace themselves through therapy that led Dinah to believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. This experience inspired her to want to extend an invitation to others in the community to explore both themselves and the world around them.
Since beginning her practice in 2022, Dinah has experience working with: Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Autism, Eating Disorders, Panic Disorder, grief & loss, sexual orientation, gender identity, betrayal trauma, and childhood trauma. Particular areas of interest include: issues pertaining to identity, sexuality, meaning-making, individuation, and the impacts of societal constructs.
Dinah strives to offer connection, validation, and exploration to all their clients, regardless of what brings them in.
“Fostering belonging is at the heart of our efforts to become amazingly alive in our work, and to promote the possibilities of being amazingly alive in others.”
