Corina Teixeira, OT

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.”
