Navigating the decision to start therapy can feel daunting. So, finding the right therapist who resonates with your needs is pivotal in your therapeutic journey. Here’s a glimpse into who I am to help you determine if I am the right fit.

I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs, ensuring a supportive, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment. Working collaboratively, we can strive to achieve your personal, and emotional goals, and facilitate meaningful and lasting change.

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive and person-centred, integrating elements of different therapeutic modalities such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) empowering you to develop healthier coping strategies and enhance self-awareness. In my work, I also like to draw from Adlerian therapy and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) interventions.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating a major life transition, or seeking greater fulfillment and meaning, I am here to support you every step of the way.

My name is Luke Sikma. I am a newly registered Massage Therapist and a graduate of West Coast College of Massage Therapy. I spent over a year and a half completing practicums across the Lower Mainland at ARH, Canuck Place, GF Strong, seniors’ homes, and with college and university sport programs near my school. My time working with nurses, athletes, elderly clients, neuro patients and others has given me a deep appreciation for helping people from all walks of life get back to the activities they love.

As a therapist, I value patient education and care, and I aim to empower patients with autonomy in their recovery. Understanding your body gives you confidence to leave the clinic in control of your progress. I am committed to walking beside you in your healing and in the maintenance of both acute and chronic injuries.
