Ailee Gilron, RCC
I work with individuals throughout British Columbia who are navigating burnout, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. I have a particular interest in supporting men who struggle in their relationships and professional lives. Additionally, individuals experiencing family or interpersonal conflict, especially during major transitions such as career changes, separations, or significant life events like weddings.
I also bring experience in harm reduction and safety work within the electronic dance music (EDM) scene and festival environments, supporting individuals in high-stimulation settings.
My approach is relational, collaborative, and holistic. I aim to help clients feel at ease through humour, authenticity, and a grounded therapeutic presence. My work with clients balances warmth with accountability, to support meaningful and sustainable change.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), while also integrating an Adlerian psychodynamic lens and Attachment Theory when working with family dynamics and relationship patterns.
I offer individual counselling in-person in North Vancouver and Downtown Vancouver, and virtual therapy, and work with clients located in Mount Pleasant, Kitsilano, Downtown Vancouver, East Vancouver, Northern BC and surrounding Lower Mainland areas.
I believe that therapy is most effective when it feels real and human. I value curiosity, compassion, and connection, bringing these qualities into every session. When I am not working, I am walking with my dog Kaiya, cooking, reading, going to concerts, travelling, and spending time with my friends and loved ones.
