Claire Weiss, MA, RCC
Owner, Clinical Counsellor

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with 14 years of experience, specializing in supporting individuals affected by trauma – individual, familial, cultural or ancestral – and the wide range of disorders that arise out of trauma or neglect.  I have a particular passion for working with therapists, healers, parents and other caregivers, and have specialized experience with addictions, chronic pain / illness, mood disorders and anxiety.

I am a mother to a young boy, a teacher, a writer, artist and  long distance runner.  I am fascinated by bees, moss, and mushrooms.  I find endless  teachings and medicine in nature.  I feel deeply connected to water and land - that of my Scottish and Northern English ancestors and the land I live on now, the traditional and unceded territory of the Kwantlen, Matsqui, Semiahmoo, and Katzie First Nations.

  • Private Practice Owner and Founder of Pathkeepers Community of Practice
  • Graduate Program Course Instructor (Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, Addictions)
  • Lead Therapist on clinical trials for Psilocybin and Treatment Resistant Depression and Alcohol Use Disorder
