Jandy Kim, MC, RCC  

Clinical Director

Registered Clinical Counsellor

Trauma is not just a clinical focus for Jandy — it is a calling. Over the course of her career, she has dedicated herself entirely to trauma work, driven by a deep respect and profound gratitude for the first responders she has had the privilege of working alongside, and by the daily inspiration of witnessing the human spirit overcome some of life's greatest challenges.

At the heart of her practice is a conviction that people do not have to settle for simply learning to live with the impacts of trauma. Jandy wholeheartedly believes in post-traumatic growth — the very real possibility that individuals can move through their most difficult experiences and emerge with a deeper sense of self, purpose, and resilience.

A Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and a BC Professional Fire Fighters' Association (BCPFFA) Silver Seal Endorsed clinician, Jandy brings both credentialed expertise and genuine insight into the barriers first responders and veterans face in accessing mental health support. WorkSafe BC treatment provider through their Occupational Trauma Response and Mental Health Treatment Services programs, and delivers counselling through the WorkBC-funded Survivors of Violence and Youth at Risk programs, alongside extensive experience supporting victims of abuse and trauma.

Jandy’s approach is anything but passive. Sessions are dynamic, challenging, and often infused with humour — tailored carefully to the individual in front of her, because she knows that no two people's paths through trauma are the same. Clients consistently speak to one thing above all else: they know she genuinely cares about them, and they know she believes, without reservation, that there is hope for them.

Jandy holds a Master of Counselling from City University of Seattle (2015) and a Bachelor of Arts in Family Sciences and Psychology from the University of British Columbia (2002).
