Collective Healing Counselling and Consulting

What Collective Healing Counselling and Consulting does

Collective Healing Counselling and Consulting is a Vancouver-based private for-profit counselling practice founded in 2019 that delivers anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and sex-positive mental health services. The practice prioritizes equity-deserving populations, including BIPoC folks, 2SLGBTQAI+ individuals, sex workers, and trans/non-binary folks, and offers individual counselling, relationship and family counselling, sex therapy, hormone readiness assessments, group offerings, clinical supervision, and facilitation/workshops. Service delivery spans multiple Vancouver-area sites (Ontario & Broadway, Yukon & Broadway, Chinatown, and Venables), virtual sessions, and outdoor walk-and-talk therapy, with operations seven days a week and a 51-100 headcount.

The business model is direct-to-consumer counselling priced across three tiers — sliding scale, standard, and generous — with a separately priced lower-cost tier staffed by supervised practicum student counsellors drawn from partner clinician Sam Kaplan of Expressive Wellness and Luisa Ospina. Revenue streams therefore include per-session individual/relationship/sex therapy fees, group programme fees, clinical supervision fees, and one-off hormone readiness assessments. There is no proprietary technology platform; the practice relies on a Squarespace website for marketing, the third-party Jane App for online scheduling, Google Forms for client-to-counsellor matching, and email for client engagement. Distribution is exclusively direct via website discovery and booking, with no enterprise customers, no disclosed B2B contracts, and no institutional referral relationships documented.

There is no evidence of external investment, parent ownership, funding rounds, acquisitions, mergers, regulatory actions, or leadership changes in the available record. The legal entity is "Collective Healing," domiciled in British Columbia, Canada, and the practice is independently operated by its clinical team. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has no mobile app, no API or SDK surface, and no AI/ML capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is the largest online therapy platform, offering individual, couples, and teen counselling via subscription. It competes with Collective Healing for the same end clients (marginalized and mainstream) but at lower price points and broader scale, primarily through digital delivery.
• Talkspace: Talkspace is a publicly listed online therapy and psychiatry platform serving individuals, couples, and enterprises. It targets overlapping demand for accessible counselling, including through employer benefits, putting competitive pressure on private practices like Collective Healing.
• Lyra Health: Lyra Health is a mental health benefits platform providing therapy and coaching to employees of large enterprises, with a stated focus on diverse and inclusive care. Its scale and equity-focused marketing compete for the same values-aligned client base that Collective Healing serves.
• Spring Health: Spring Health is a global mental health benefits provider offering therapy, coaching, and crisis support through employer contracts. It overlaps with Collective Healing on therapeutic service delivery and increasingly on diversity-affirming care positioning.
• Modern Health: Modern Health is a global mental health platform combining therapy, coaching, and self-guided content for employees. It targets the same employer-paid and individual therapy demand as Collective Healing, with substantially more technology infrastructure.
• Headspace Health: Headspace (merged with Ginger) is a leading consumer and employer mental health platform combining self-guided content with on-demand therapy. It competes for the same end clients seeking accessible mental health support, including the equity-deserving segments Collective Healing prioritizes.

Direct peers

• Two Chairs: Two Chairs is a hybrid in-person and teletherapy practice operating clinics in multiple U.S. cities with a matching-based intake model. It mirrors Collective Healing's model of combining in-person clinics, virtual sessions, and a structured therapist-matching experience.
• Octave: Octave is a therapy practice operating group clinics with in-person and virtual care, employer partnerships, and a curated clinician network. Its clinic-based, hybrid delivery model is the closest analog in structure to Collective Healing's multi-site Vancouver operation.

Regional players

• Inkblot Therapy: Inkblot Therapy is a Canadian online therapy platform connecting clients with licensed therapists across provinces. It competes for the same Canadian client base as Collective Healing, especially for those seeking virtual, on-demand counselling outside of Vancouver.

Emerging players

• Pride Counseling: Pride Counseling is a niche online therapy platform exclusively serving the LGBTQ+ community. It directly parallels Collective Healing's 2SLGBTQAI+ focus and competes for identity-affirming clients, though it relies on a fully virtual, lower-cost delivery model.
