About Clara Morgan, RSW, RCC
My name is Clara. I have both a Bachelors degree and Masters degree in Social Work and have been practicing since 2010. As a very young child I identified that I wanted to be a psychiatrist, and what I meant was that I wanted to be a therapist.
I wanted to help others, and am here now to help. Life can be better than it may seem right now, and I have helped many people improve their lives.​ I will display deep compassion for you and your struggles, no matter what is happening for you. It is a privilege to me when you honour me with your story.
​​
My choice to become a Social Worker has shaped my approach to clients like you, allowing me to focus on the unique ways of helping that you may want and need, identify the effects of any abuse, neglect, struggle, pain, or heavy loss in your life, and bear witness to your complexity and strength.
​​
This means that I will appreciate and understand your experiences on a deeper level and help you empower yourself.
​​
My work in the mental health system has also given me an excellent background in assessing and treating mental illness, mental health challenges, and addiction (although, when these are severe, I may refer to a public service with more resources than a sole practitioner can offer). In my past roles I had to find ways to work with anyone assigned to me, growing a lot professionally in the process.
​​​
Having helped so many different clients and issues in my practice, I have a great deal of tools and resources, and can truly help most people who come to see me. If you're unsure, book a consult to ask!
​​​
Since I worked in psychiatry for a number of years, I have strong knowledge around medications,
diagnoses, and when to seek a higher level of
clinical mental health or addiction services.

​This means I can also support you in understanding and seeking out mental health diagnoses, medication, and additional help if you wish, being very familiar with options and what might be going on for you.
​
I am registered with ICBC, the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), Veteran's Affairs Canada, and the Crime Victim's Assistance Program (CVAP). I can direct bill these agencies if you have been offered free or subsidized sessions under their programs.
My professional registration numbers are:
09760 with the BCCSW & 19919 with the BCACC.

I acknowledge that I live and carry out my work on the unceded ancestral homelands of the hÉ™nÌ“q̓əmin̓əmÌ“ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-speaking peoples. I am grateful for this privilege.
