Hello

I'm Carli Des Cotes and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) seeing clients out of Vancouver, BC.

I’ve had a range of experience in the mental health field over the past 10 years. I started my career in a variety of mental health centres, providing individual and group counselling to those with past trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction and young adults with first episode psychosis. When I transitioned to private practice, I quickly knew it was the best fit for me.

I started Mt. Pleasant Counselling in 2019 with the hopes of building a beautiful, warm, inviting space for clients, and a supportive community for therapists who share a similar vision for the work we do. And all in my favourite neighbourhood!

what to expect

It’s my goal to create a space where you feel comfortable, safe and supported.

You can expect a warm, authentic, relaxed and non-judgmental approach, someone who will be in your corner throughout our time together. I approach my clients with genuine curiosity, humor, and a gentle challenge when needed.
