Therapists in British Columbia

Starting a counselling journey takes courage; I honour your decision to explore it. I take a collaborative and holistic approach to supporting mental, emotional, embodied, and spiritual healing, depending on a person’s unique needs, goals, and hopes. I love walking alongside clients as they grow into fuller, more authentic expressions of themselves and their relationships.

IN-Sight Mind Body Wellness is home to a dedicated team of counsellors, social workers, and psychologists committed to supporting individuals through everyday challenges or mental health struggles, like anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and trauma.

I specialize in working with adult men who struggle with anxiety, guilt, anger, depression, self-esteem, trauma, and relationship issues. A particular specialty is with men who are highly sensitive or introverted. I have worked with many young to middle aged male adults who want a new direction in life and/or who struggle to develop a healthy sense of autonomy in relationships. If you are looking for support in becoming more aware, empowered, and self-compassionate while you embark on a new path that is more aligned with how you want to live your life, I can guide you along the way.

Whether you are re-taking control of your life and starting over or you are looking to set time aside for your mental wellbeing, Art Therapy can help. Art Therapy is widely used as an auxiliary treatment for depression, illness and chronic pain, addiction and trauma. Children and Youth particularly respond well to Art Therapy as it offers a less confrontational approach to counselling . I have experience working with children and youth with various challenges stemming from parental separation, anxiety disorders, grief and loss and especially difficulties with social inclusion and feeling outcasted.

Do you wake up in the morning and your anxiety starts to creep in? Do you feel like you have tried everything and you’re losing hope? Are you often triggered emotionally and feel as though you lose control? Do you struggle within your close relationships and wonder “how did I get here?” My approach to therapy is always rooted in compassion and genuine curiosity. I have a mindful and gentle presence, which guides my considerate sensitivity and attunement to each of my clients. Together we can cultivate unique goals and illuminate your wellness path through exploring, connecting, healing, and harnessing strengths.

Experiencing emotional, psychological, and interpersonal distress causes many people to feel isolated and alone. People need to feel connected and known to heal and grow. We are designed to seek belonging and acceptance from our community and when we experience adversity, trauma, or abuse we are robbed of that sense of connection and belonging. Our nervous system senses threats all around us, leading to further isolation and loneliness. The wisdom for healing lies within each person, sometimes we all need a little help to recognize it.

I specialize in trauma and relationships. Adult childhood/adulthood trauma, self esteem, confidence and codependency. I also work with couples and families around unresolved attachment, infidelity, sexuality and unconscious toxicity. Other areas of focus: anxiety, depression, procrastination and loss of motivation. I am a registered clinical counsellor RCC, available in person and online. I look forward to working with you to unblock healing, resiliency and health. Let's connect and say "enough" to intense chaos and debilitating struggles. Coverage accepted: private, ICBC, Medavie Blue Cross, Canada Life, Crime Victims Program

After 10 years of working with women and their families as a midwife, I am pleased to work with women and families in a counselling capacity. My practice is accessible to new mothers and mothers-to-be in clinic, on Skype and in clients homes. I offer individual, group and family counselling. After a practicum with CYMH I am passionate about working with children and often treat the family as an interconnected system.

In my twenty plus years experience working in the community and public school system, I have supported a variety of folks including: children, youth, adults, couples and families. I seek to help clients recognize their strengths, and I work with them to defuse from painful thoughts and feelings and to live a richer and more fulfilling life based on their values. I deeply value the relationship I have with my clients, and am honoured to support them to realize their goals.

Struggling with ANXIETY, HEALTH issues, or FAMILY problems? My proven approach has helped people recover from anxiety, panic, depression, PTSD, trauma, addiction, and health challenges. I use a unique combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), applied Neuroscience and Relational Somatic Therapy to bring relief and lasting solutions to your problems. Whether it is stress, anger, life changes, family challenges (adoption, blending, parenting), pain in an intimate relationship (with another or yourself) that is troubling you, there is a healthy resolution and I look forward to working together with you to discover it.

Healthy change is possible and you do not have to face challenges alone. It can be very difficult to seek help and reach out during hard times. If you are reading this then you have already taken the first step towards well being. Finding a counsellor who you feel comfortable with is an essential part of the healing process. I would be happy to talk with you. Supporting individuals, families, youth and children for over 24 years. This is the time to take the best care of ourselves and our loved ones. Triggers arise now more than ever and support is available.

Life can feel overwhelming and complicated when shifting into a non-monogamous way of being. It often brings up deep feelings of fear, abandonment, and jealousy both for those who are starting out and also for those who have been in an Ethically Non-Monogamous paradigm for a long time. It can feel isolating to come out as gender diverse. I’ve been supporting folks as they access gender affirming care, challenge people's expectations, find acceptance, set boundaries, and grow more comfortable in themselves and their own identities. I support folks who want to access a Queer, Trans, and Non-binary welcoming space.

Working with children, youth and adults, I integrate methods most effective in addressing individual concerns including anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, grief, loss, divorce, life transitions, relationship issues, stress and burnout - specializing in full trauma recovery.
