An environment separate from home or work where individuals connect authentically and build community. A welcoming, neutral place that fosters conversation, belonging, and shared meaning.

Third space (noun):

The “third space” approach

Community driven

Third Space was created with community at its heart. We believe healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Alongside individual therapy, we’re working to grow offerings that invite collective care: groups, gatherings, and opportunities to build meaningful connection with others.

Inclusive

Everyone deserves a space where they can show up fully as themselves. We offer a welcoming environment for LGBTQIA2S+ clients, BIPOC clients, and those who have felt overlooked by traditional systems.

Trauma-informed

We recognize that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. We use a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes safety, choice, and trust. You set the pace, and we work together to shape a process that feels right for you.

Accessible

Therapy should be something you can actually access. We offer virtual sessions, flexible scheduling, and a number of sliding scale spots to help reduce barriers. We’re committed to making support feel responsive and within reach.

Third Space is built with a vision to grow into a mental health collective. One that fosters community connection and collective healing beyond individual therapy.

Third Space acknowledges, with gratitude and respect, that our work takes place on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are honoured to support healing on this land.
