About Marco Ma
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC # 17221) under the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. My work focuses on trauma and couple counselling therapy.
I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy), an evidence-based effective treatment for clients experienced traumatic life events. I have also received advanced training in treating structural dissociation, somatization, and preverbal trauma.
In my approach to couple therapy, I draw inspiration from two highly regarded methods: the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. These approaches provide a strong foundation for working with couples, as they offer flexibility and adaptability to address the unique challenges and dynamics within each relationship.
I believe that every soul has its inherent worth and beauty despite the hurts from the world that might have darkened our lens to see ourselves and others.
No matter what tool I use, my intention is always to reawaken the lost connection to clients’ essence of being embedded with inherent worth and resilience.
I am not constrained by the role as a counsellor or therapist. I am also a witness to clients’ life journeys seeking truth, moving past pain, and reconnecting with oneself and others.
This intention of work guides my endeavor to create a safe and warm space for clients, encourage clients to explore their inner strengths and provide effective and tailored treatments
