Haida Gaede
Registered Clinical Counsellor | Registered Social Worker
Hi, I’m Haida.
I work with youth and adults who are tired of masking, stuck in survival mode, or feeling disconnected from themselves. If you’re navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, identity concerns, or carrying more than feels manageable, I offer a grounding space to speak openly and sort through what’s happening. The pace is always set collaboratively and with care, so the work feels doable rather than overwhelming.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in respect for your identity, culture, and lived experience. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Nature-Based Therapy, and mindfulness to tailor therapy to your needs and objectives. With a warm, steady, down-to-earth style and some humour when it fits, I support people in reconnecting with themselves in a way that feels honest and sustainable.
Sessions are available in-office, online, or outdoors through nature-based counselling for those who feel more at ease outside. Evening and weekend appointments are available.
Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or both, therapy can be a place to feel seen, supported, and more like yourself again.
Current areas of focus:
Trauma | OCD (ERP Therapy) | Anxiety | Phobias | Identity Exploration | Stress

welcome to myra
In the Okanagan Highlands, the Myra Canyon trestles bridge steep cliffs and winding trails through old-growth forest, creating paths that would otherwise be difficult to navigate. Therapy can serve a similar role by offering connection, structure, and a safe route through challenging terrain.
At Myra Mental Health, I provide a calm, grounded setting to explore what’s weighing on you and to build steadier ways of moving through stress, trauma, burnout, depression, or anxiety. The work centres on helping you move from where you are toward where you want to be.
Inspired by the resilience of the landscape and rooted in the value of genuine connection, this space is designed to support clarity, stability, and growth as you navigate the harder parts of your path.
