Lurline Raposo is a seasoned clinical leader working from Nanaimo, BC, with two decades of dedicated experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through trauma, separation, and conflict. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Approved Clinical Supervisor, Play Therapist Supervisor, and Parenting Coordinator, she brings a depth of expertise that aligns closely with Co‑lab’s core values of consent, collaboration, and emotional safety. Her practice is trauma-aware, attachment-focused, and deeply relational, offering both stability and adaptive sensitivity in high-conflict family situations.

Lurline specializes in divorce, separation, coparenting, and parent-child resistance dynamics, drawing on advanced training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), sand tray and play therapy, neuroscience-informed attachment approaches, family systems therapy, and structured mediation modalities. She works effectively with legal mandates and therapeutic engagement—supporting court-mandated clients, parenting coordinators, and families referred through Hear the Child or Parenting Coordination rosters—without ever compromising consent or imposing outcomes.

Within Co‑lab, Lurline’s practice emphasizes emotional safety and anti-oppressive frameworks—honoring each individual’s pace, perspective, and readiness while collaborating closely with referral networks. Her capacity to hold space for complex emotional expression through creative and somatic modalities helps children and adults process trauma, repair relational rupture, and build relational insight within structured therapeutic boundaries.

Lurline is routinely partnered with lawyers, mediators, and judges who require clinically sound, ethically robust intervention for high‑conflict family law cases. Her clinical credibility, calm presence, and multi-modal flexibility make her a reliable referral partner for navigating the intersection of legal systems and therapeutic support. By consistently centering children’s well-being, transparency, and collaboration, Lurline strengthens Co‑lab’s commitment to supporting families in crisis with dignity, clarity, and clinical integrity.
