Derian Julihn

Hi, I’m Derian Julihn (he/him/his). I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I have almost 20 years of experience supporting vulnerable youth and adults. My practice is centrally located in the Lower Mainland just off Highway 1 in Langley, BC. I work from anti-oppressive intersectionality lens. I am feminist/womanist, anti-racist, LGBTQ2+ allied, First Nations allied. Working hard to decolonize my own worldview. I am passionate about connecting people to the resources they need to thrive.

I enjoy helping those who suffer from anxiety, depression, shame, self-acceptance, addiction, trauma, abuse, and intrusive thoughts. Many of my client's mental health challenges are rooted in trauma or have a diagnosis strongly linked to trauma such as: 

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
• Substance Use Disorder (SUD)
• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
• Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD)

I bring a unique mixture of courage, empathy, knowledge, and humour to my clients. I am passionate about working with my clients to co-create a plan based on their specific needs, goals, and strengths. The therapies I use are designed to empower and focuses on overcoming the stigma and blame that can be placed on us when we suffer and struggle in our mental health. Not only that, but they have also been profoundly impactful in my own healing.
