Myra Mental Health

Haida Gaede

Registered Clinical Counsellor | Registered Social Worker

Hi, I’m Haida.

I specialize in therapy for preteens, teens, and adults with neurodivergent and/or queer identities. My approach is collaborative, relational, and deeply rooted in the understanding that growth happens through connection—both with others and with ourselves.

I draw from a variety of modalities, including Nature-Based Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and a range of nervous system regulation techniques, tailoring each session to your unique needs. I help my clients cultivate lasting change and resilience through understanding how past experiences shape present emotions and behaviours. Your identity—who you are and what matters to you—is always welcome in our sessions.

My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, creating a space where your unique story is met with sensitivity and respect. Whether you're navigating mental health challenges, exploring identity, adjusting to life transitions, or simply needing a nurturing environment to express yourself, I’m here to help.

Current areas of focus:
Trauma | OCD (ERP Therapy) | Anxiety | Phobias | Identity Exploration | Stress

BA BEd PgDip MSW | RCC #21482 | RSW #16465

welcome to myra

In the heart of Myra in the Okanagan Highlands, trestles bridge steep cliffs and winding trails among old growth trees, creating pathways that might otherwise seem impossible to traverse. Much like these bridges, therapy offers connection, support, and a safe passage through life’s most challenging terrain.

At Myra Mental Health I provide a calm, grounded space for my clients to explore, heal, and grow. Whether you’re facing the weight of trauma, burnout, depression or anxiety, I’m here to help you find balance and strength as you bridge the space from where you are to where you want to be.

Inspired by the resilience of nature and rooted in the power of connection, our work together can be a steady guide through even the steepest parts of your journey.
