Stevee McDade
Counsellor, RCC, RSW
​
Hi! I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors, as well as a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the British Columbia College of Social Workers. Western education has provided me with the professional titles listed above; however, my greatest teacher in showing up for others comes from my own lived experience of grief and loss (something that touches us all) and my ongoing work, as both a counsellor and social worker, within systems known to perpetuate colonial violence.
