Meet

Keana Guianan-Snell

Hello, my name is Keana, and I believe that everyone has the capacity to confidently face life’s challenges and discover their own path to healing. Currently, I am pursuing my Master of Social Work and I am excited to expand my skills in providing meaningful therapeutic interventions. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the complexities of their experiences with compassion and understanding. My journey into counselling has been shaped by my work in community health, where I have seen firsthand how holistic, wraparound care can help people prevail even in the face of adversity.

Through these experiences, I have come to understand the importance of creating warm, non-judgmental spaces where individuals feel empowered to be open and honest. This allows them to more deeply explore their needs and build resilience. I recognize how external factors can shape our self-perception and influence how we engage with the world, and I am dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength and restore balance in their lives.



My Therapeutic Approach

I believe that each individual is unique, and therefore, no single therapeutic approach fits everyone. This is why I take an integrative approach, drawing on a range of methods and therapeutic modalities to best meet individuals needs and goals. With a deep curiosity and a collaborative mindset, I am committed to working with individuals to find the most effective strategies that will support their journey and help them create impactful, positive change.


Population that I prefer working with

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and welcome the opportunity to work with anyone who feels my services could benefit their process. My approach is holistic and client-centered, focusing on empowering individuals to navigate obstacles and thrive in both their personal and emotional growth.
