Quetzo J. Herejk

Quetzo is a registered psychotherapist and counsellor in good standing with the BC College of Social Workers, and BC Association of Social Workers.

Quetzo provides therapy in private practice to a broad community in Vancouver (in person) and virtually.

Beyond academic graduate work, she has completed extensive training and certification in IFS, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Somatic (body-based) Psychotherapy, Response-Based, CBT, DBT, EFFT, and AEDP. She has studied earth-based, underworld guiding with Animas Valley Institute. Her approach in therapy is integrationist, meaning she works with a variety of modalities, centering whichever theoretical orientation/s are most aligned for the client. Quetzo is informed by the principles of somatic psychology, interpersonal neurobiology and nervous system co-regulation, attachment theory, mindfulness/presencing practices, and anti-oppressive worldviews that believe power is real and can do harm or be beautiful. She believes all people are the experts of their own lives, and that therapists can play a supportive and key role in helping people return to their internal sense of vast wisdom, agency, and wholeness.

Quetzo operates a private practice in Vancouver and the lower mainland. Quetzo completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Victoria, and has a degree in Somatic and Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in Boulder Colorado. She teaches and supervises graduate students as Adjunct Faculty at City University’s Master of Counselling program in Vancouver, and works as a consultant for a variety of EDI committees throughout the province developing and implementing policy and practice.
