Goretti Faria, MSW, RCSW, CCC

I’m a certified AEDP Therapist and Supervisor, practicing as a Registered Clinical Social Worker in British Columbia and Ontario, Canada. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, and bring over 30 years of experience from community mental health settings and private practice. My expertise spans psychodynamic psychotherapy, family systems therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems. Since embracing AEDP in 2014, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to numerous ES1 and ES2 courses globally, both as an assistant and Lead Assistant. I’ve was deeply involved with AEDP Vancouver, passionately championing the growth of AEDP in Vancouver and the surrounding region. Alongside my clinical work, I offer individual and group supervision services.

Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of AEDP — both personally and professionally — and that experience shapes everything I do. I approach supervision much the way I approach AEDP therapy itself: with a focus on authenticity and agency. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative learning space where supervisees feel empowered to develop their own unique therapeutic voice,
while fostering healing and transformation for the clients they serve. I see the relationships among client, therapist, and supervisor as a reflection of our shared humanity — and I’m committed to supporting the growth, both professional and personal, of everyone involved in the AEDP process.
