Congratulations! We know that taking the first step to seek out counselling can be overwhelming and honestly sometimes scary. We tell our clients that it's the very first step they take that shows willingness and courage to begin the journey of self growth and better relationships.
With over 50 years of combined clinical counselling experience among our four Associates, we know the value of specialization, leading edge therapeutic techniques and the importance of a good fit when it comes to meeting the unique needs of our clients.
We understand that the best work we do as counsellors involves a collaboration of multiple therapeutic approaches, which can sometimes be a challenge for one therapist to deliver. As such, our clients are assured that, while their confidentiality is always protected, each of our client’s treatment plans is carefully reviewed in consultation in order to ensure best practice.
Clinical Associates at Creekside Counselling are comprised of the most highly skilled and compassionate counselling professionals who are inspired by research and employ evidence-based treatments in their work with clients. Each Clinical Associate has been carefully selected based on their clinical skill, training and expertise, and compassion as a practitioner.

About Creekside Counselling
Kathy Merabian, MA, RCC, CPF
Supervisor, Owner of Creekside Counselling
At Creekside Counselling, we believe healing happens through meaningful connection with ourselves, with others, and with our environment. Our team provides thoughtful, evidence-based therapy for individuals, couples, children and families, grounded in compassion and real-world understanding.
As the founder, I bring both clinical leadership and deep local roots on the North Shore. As a parent whose children attended Cedardale Elementary, Sentinel Secondary, and St. Thomas Aquinas, I understand the unique pressures facing families in these communities. Creekside Counselling was intentionally created as a space that reflects that understanding designed to connect people with nature as part of the healing process.
Spending time hiking in Lighthouse Park, Lynn Canyon and Deep Cove, surrounded by tall trees, ferns, and flowing water, has always been grounding for me. That sense of calm and restoration is what inspired the counselling studio itself, built among these natural elements to create a peaceful, safe space where clients can slow down, feel supported, and do meaningful work.
Whether you’re seeking individual support, strengthening a relationship, or navigating family challenges, our team is here to walk alongside you with care, clarity, and respect.
Warmly,
Kathy
