Chapa is a Registered Counselling Therapist – Candidate with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists. She holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
Chapa has over a decade of experience working with children, youth, and adults across justice, education, child welfare and community mental health settings. In her work with young people, Chapa uses a relational, strengths-based, and collaborative approach, with a play therapy informed lens that recognizes play as a child’s natural language and an important form of connection and communication. Chapa draws on developmental and attachment-based understandings to support young people and help families make sense of behaviours within broader family, social, and environmental contexts.
Chapa is based in Halifax and will see clients at our Halifax office.
