About Corina
Corina Teixeira, BSc, OT Is an Occupational Therapist specializing in Mental Health and is ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!
Client Focus: Young adults and Adults
Following illness or injury, our world is suddenly and irrevocably changed. We become immersed in learning how to live with a new reality. Using Occupational Therapy principles of recovery, through activity I support functional improvement in people who have been through traumatic and stressful experiences. I help people navigate their new reality to find healthy perceptions of themselves as capable, resilient, and whole again.
As an Occupational Therapist, I work with individuals to recover participation in valued life roles and meaningful activities. No single approach is right for every individual, so I have advanced training and experience using a range of modalities. I provide culturally sensitive, gender-affirming and trauma informed care.
I am a Registered Occupational Therapist with almost 30-years of experience. I have advanced training and use a range of modalities, developing a treatment plan tailored to the needs of my clients. I am a member of PainBC and a former guest presenter with the BC Arthritis Society wherein I facilitated chronic pain self-management groups.
My training and use of therapy modalities include Exposure response therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, sensory modulation for self-regulation and symptom management, relaxation, cognitive remediation therapy, Progressive Goal Attainment (PGAP), and life-style adaptations.
The issues I treat include return to work issues, symptoms of mild to moderate traumatic brain injury, post-concussion symptoms, chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety, phobias, addiction, low self-esteem, and neurodivergent traits.
A Little bit about me!
What brings me a sense of ease is undoubtedly when I get to enjoy a mindful moment in nature.
My two favourite quotations:
“It’s not the falling down that counts. It’s the getting back up.”
– May Pickford
