Maria Stella, PhD
Registered Clinical Counsellor
As a counsellor, I integrate somatic and transpersonal therapies to guide individuals on a path of self-discovery and healing. I help clients calm their nervous system, release limiting patterns, find their purpose, and connect with their natural state of being for conscious growth.
I am honoured to provide a space where clients can explore and integrate spiritual experiences into their life for greater fulfillment. I view therapy as a sacred and courageous endeavour, and aspire to create an environment where people feel gently guided, supported, and empowered.
With a PhD in East-West Psychology and over 25 years of experience, I bring a unique perspective to my work, grounded in a lifelong dedication to healing and embodiment. Originally from a small town in Northern Italy, I now reside in Vancouver, BC, on the unceded ancestral territory of the Coast Salish people, the original stewards of the land.

People seek counselling for a variety of reasons, and transpersonal counselling is particularly suited for those who are interested in personal growth and deeper connections. This approach offers benefits on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Consider the following:
-
How do you define your life’s purpose or higher calling?
-
What values and beliefs are most important to you?
-
How do you cultivate a sense of meaning and fulfillment in your life?
-
What experiences, activities, or practices have made you feel connected, inspired, and/or at peace?
-
What patterns prevent you from feeling content and empowered in your life?
Together, we will collaborate to shape each session, ensuring that our therapeutic relationship guides your counselling experience.
As our consciousness evolves, so does our reality. This shift not only influences our personal lives but also affect the earth and the universe. Become an agent of positive change.
