Roxy Humphrey

MCC (In Progress)

Roxy has been journeying alongside people throughout her adult life as a teacher, intern supervisor, mentor, mountain guide, group facilitator, and youth worker.  She finds that, in the context of safe and loving relationships, people continually find the tools, resources, strength, and insight within themselves to steer their lives in new, life-giving directions.  Roxy is of Scottish/English descent and was born in Vancouver, on the land of the Coast Salish Peoples.  She and her family now gratefully live, work, and study in Victoria, on the traditional and unceded territories of the Lekwungen Speaking-peoples.  Roxy's counselling is informed and supported by constructivist modalities, where an individual is seen within the context of a greater social and cultural landscape.  She sees how the broader world impacts individuals and also how working with individuals, couples, and families impacts the broader world.  She fosters a welcoming space for people from all walks of life and works hard to affirm the dignity of all people.  She is excited to meet with clients on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
