Therapists in Sicamous, BC

I provide counselling in a safe, confidential and professional environment. Talk to me about anxiety, depression, trauma, dysfunctional behaviour, and unhelpful thinking habits. Providing personalized counselling is my passion. One size does not fit all. I commit to be present and listen to you; together we will set measurable, attainable goals that bring life change and an increased sense of self. Meeting you where you are right now, giving you practical insights, proven tools, and step-by-step strategies you need to get where you want to go.

We believe counselling is about being open and willing about exploring that which is negatively impacting your life. Facing challenges and difficulties takes courage and a belief that something could be different and even, perhaps, better. I aim to create a warm and welcoming space. Here, you are invited to explore your current situation with a focus on how to create a brighter tomorrow. We believe each person has a sense of what is helpful. Personalizing each session, we collaboratively create a plan to move you through this challenge and to a tomorrow with greater freedom. We offer reduced rate counselling with our MACP candidate.

I focus my clinical practice on couples & marriage counselling as well as teens & adults experiencing depression, anxiety or other challenges with their mental health. I specialize in completing Views of the Child Reports for parents and the courts. I also specialize in working with families that are experiencing conflict in relationships in the home/school. I have almost 20 years of experience working with teens/youth and adults who have experienced multiple barriers and face situations of oppression and risk.

Welcome to Safe Have Holistic Counselling – My name is Magdalena. Through Safe Haven, I will provide you with a range of options and modalities to help you heal and find ways to be happy, content, and free from whatever hurt and pain you are carrying with you at this time.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in C-PTSD/PTSD, Addictions and Recovery, families and partners affected by a loved one's substance abuse. As well as couples navigating ENM. My therapeutic approach is client centred and science based with complex psycho-education that I translate to be easily understood. I fundamentally believe we all want to know WHY we do what we do to make our lives difficult. WHAT happened to us to make life hard and HOW we get back to a state of peace. Almost every interaction we have is influenced by habits and belief systems that have been ingrained in us from the time we were little kids.

I am a Registered MSW graduate. I work from a Narrative Therapy and Response-Based Practice approach. I have worked with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief & loss and complex relationships. I have 5+ years of experience working with individuals navigating complex and dynamic relationships. This includes working with couples facing intense conflicts, infidelity, separation, and divorce. I tailor my approach to each unique relationship, actively collaborating with each couple or family to fully understand, assist, and promote healing in their most significant relationships.

I work with a range of clients including children, youth, young adults, and adults. I have extensive experience in the areas of parenting, blended families and co-parenting. I also work with clients of all ages with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other neurodiversity challenges. I see adults struggling with relationships, communication, emotions and other life challenges. I take a holistic and person-centered approach in which I focus on your strengths and goals to build your resilience and lead to a more satisfying life.

Couple and Family Counselling is the focus of my practice. Relationship dynamics can be complex. I work with couples and family members in a collaborative and non-judgmental way to identify what is working and what is not within the family system. I also specialize in working with trauma, first responders (BCEHS and the RCMP) and with individuals who have experienced, witnessed, or perpetrated violence. I believe the details of my clients lived experiences are important and I will work hard to understand clients responses, and the larger context. I have over 10 years’ experience working with individuals, couples, and families.

At times, life can be demanding, stressful and overwhelming. We often find ourselves in need of direction, support, and guidance. I have been working in this industry for over 17 years and have walked along side many clients as they face their challenges. My philosophy is; the journey of life is not to be walked alone.

We recognize that relationships are hard! We also tend to do the same things over and over, even though they are not working! Our clients are looking for support in their most important relationships. They may be needing this in the form of individual, couple, or family therapy. Our clients may also be seeking support for trauma, issues of violence, first responder support, EMDR, and holistic supports. Our clients want an individual approach that recognizes the unique details of their lives, experiences, and relationships matter! We offer in-person sessions in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, and Merritt and virtual sessions from anywhere!
