Sam Trivett

Many people arrive at Sam Trivett’s practice carrying wounds that have never had language — childhood sexual abuse, developmental trauma, shame rooted in purity culture, confusion about desire and identity, or grief over relationships that couldn’t hold the weight of who they really are. What they need isn’t just a place to talk, but a space where the body’s knowing is taken as seriously as the mind’s.

Sam is a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Vancouver, BC, working with individuals, couples, and multi-partner relationships — including many clients who are queer, non-monogamous, neurodiverse, or kinky — on trauma recovery, intimacy, sexuality, identity, and building the kind of self-trust that makes genuine connection possible. Sessions are available online. Drawing on Internal Family Systems and somatic approaches, Sam holds a non-dual, animist-informed perspective that treats body and environment as inseparable. That same lens extends into everyday relationship life: when a partner is physically present but unreachable — eyes on a phone while a hard conversation waits — Sam regards that not as a tech problem but as a body-level disconnection worth exploring together.

Sam’s work is trauma-informed and psychedelic-embracing, including ketamine-assisted therapy and psilocybin integration. Outside the therapy room, Sam can be found shaping clay, wandering in the woods, or moving through a dance class — a life that reflects the embodied, creative spirit brought to every session.
