Heidi Holst M.Ed., RCC
Heidi Holst is a registered clinical counsellor (RCC) with the BC association of clinical counsellors (#14071). Heidi received her undergraduate degree in psychology and Masters degree in counselling from Thompson Rivers University. She has a background in trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR, narrative therapy and mindfulness and believes in a holistic approach to counselling. Heidi’s core belief is that people are inherently positive, capable and resourceful with the ability to reflect, understand, and create change within themselves. Heidi specializes in helping individuals and families affected by eating disorders and other difficulties related to body image, self-esteem and eating behaviours in both males and females. She applies a trauma-informed and relational lens to the understanding and treatment of eating disorders and strongly believes in the healing properties of nature-based approaches. She focuses on targeting the underlying emotional trauma that leads to the eating disorder mentality and the importance of healthy relationships as a key factor in the process of healing and recovery. Heidi has a strong personal understanding of eating disorders and how they affect individuals and their families. She offers individual and family sessions as well as family and parental consultations and support.
