Welcome,
My name is Keara Gillis and I am a therapist offering individual and couples therapy in both Vancouver, BC and Alberta. I provide virtual therapy sessions in Alberta and both virtual and in-person therapy sessions in Vancouver,
I use evidence-based practices to support my clients in understanding and exploring their unique challenges, gain skills, and work towards meaningful change in their lives.
​
​With over 10 years of experience, I help individuals, couples focus on identifying existing strengths to tackle current challenges, build new skills, and gain a deeper understanding of their unique context and story. I have specialized training in Gottman method for couples, Family Therapy, Feedback Informed treatment, and Trauma Informed Therapy.

In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, I acknowledge that I work and live on territory that was never ceded, or given up to the Crown by the Musqueam, Squamish, or Tsleil-Waututh peoples. The term unceded acknowledges the dispossession of the land and the inherent rights that Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh hold to the territory.
I also practice in the Indigenous territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.
As a mental health professional and social worker, the work I do is not and has not been neutral. I commit to challenging the ongoing harm indigenous communities continue to experience.
