Meet Your Presenter:

Maureen McEvoy, MA, RCC

Four score and ten years ago Maureen was a volunteer with a sexual assault centre in Ontario. Intrigued by that experience, she changed careers, going back to school to earn her degree in Counselling Psychology. Since then she has worked with many survivors of trauma – both historical and recent. She works with individuals, couples and groups.

She is a long-standing instructor with the Justice Institute of BC, teaching other counsellors skills for working with complex trauma.

She provides clinical consultations to a number of counsellors and agencies. She has written several articles, including one co-authored with Maggie Ziegler on counter-transference in trauma groups. She also wrote “Balancing conflicting Interest: A Counsellor’s Guide to the Legal Process, 3^rd Edition”.

A believer in life-long learning, Maureen has continually updated her knowledge and skills through both individual and couples therapy approaches. Consequently, she has a robust toolbox having completed training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DMNS), art therapy.

Maureen uses Imago Relationship therapy as her framework for working with couples but has also completed training Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman, Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) and the Developmental Model from the Couples Institute. You can find out more about her work with couples by visiting www.ImagoVancouver.com
