Richard Piekarczyk-Vacca

Registered Psychotherapist

Richard served as a Combat Engineer in the Canadian Armed Forces for 8 years before being medically released after a traumatic brain injury. He combined his education with lived experience to become a Registered Psychotherapist specializing in first responder therapy and veteran counselling. He’s navigated the healthcare system from his own injuries — giving him an uncommon ability to understand mental health from the perspective of those who serve. He gets the culture, the pressure, and the cost of the job.
