Therapists in British Columbia

Вы переживаете разрыв отношений? Раздельное проживание? Развод? Или, возможно, вы не уверены, стоит ли оставаться в отношениях, в которых находитесь? Разрушение отношений может принести беспорядок и хаос в нашу жизнь, оставив нас в состоянии дезориентации, разбитыми и шокированными. Мы часто не готовы к таким болезненным событиям и не знаем, как справляться с этими сложными эмоциями. Кажется, что весь мир кружится у ваших ног. Семейная консультация - это место, где вы можете перевести дыхание и начать разбираться во всем этом, чтобы снова почувствовать твердую почву под ногами.

Здравствуйте! Пройдя через эмиграцию дважды, я понимаю что это-испытание для каждого, и процесс вживания в новое общество может сопровождаться обострением старых психотравм, равно как и появлением новых. В то же время, хронический стресс, тревога, депрессия, потеря смысла жизни и многое другое может стать для нас камнем преткновения независимо от обстоятельств времени и места. Если человек в подобной ситуации чувствует себя одиноким, это может привести к ощущению безысходности. Я вижу роль психотерапевта в том, чтобы быть не просто знающим, но также внимательным и чутким проводником, способным поддержать и направить в такие моменты.

Добро пожаловать в мир терапии интермодальными экспрессивными искусствами! Если вы пробовали разговорные методы терапии, и не почувствовали себя лучше, если вы или ваш ребенок страдаете от депрессии, тревожности, СДВГ, пережили потерю, эмиграцию или войны, вам может подойти арт-терапия. С помощью глины, изобразительного искусства, письма и движения вы сможете безопасно проработать травматичный опыт и, возможно, заново обрести облегчение, надежду, стрессоустойчивость и спокойствие. В своей практике я также использую методы работы с телом, осознанность и внутренние семейные расстановки.

Проблемы в отношениях могут заставить нас чувствовать себя несчастными, застрявшими и безнадежными. Кажется, что ваш весь мир рушится, когда вы ссоритесь со своими близкими. В то же время, когда отношения складываются хорошо, мы чувствуем поддержку, любовь и заботу, мы чувствуем, что можем справиться со всем миром. Учитывая мощное воздействие, которое отношения оказывают на нашу жизнь, мы мало знаем о том, как строить здоровые отношения. Этот вопрос не изучается в школе, и часто наши родители не являются лучшими образцами. Но, как и любое умение, мы можем научиться создавать крепкие и близкие отношения.

Welcoming New Clients! Hello and welcome. My name is Olga Barrows. Thank you for reaching out today. It is a huge first step. It is my pleasure to accompany you on this journey. Whether you are dealing with difficult emotions, coping with changes, looking for a peace of mind, or working on new skills, I am here for you. My practice takes place in a supportive, safe and nonjudgmental environment. It fosters personal growth, insight and self-compassion, and always focuses on your strengths and goals.

My approach to psychotherapy is balanced and holistic, which gets to the root of my clients' chronic stress, depression, overeating, fatigue, anxiety, and nervous system imbalances and aims for their overall wellness. I have a background in wellness and disability management and over a decade of experience working in mental health. In my work, I use trauma-informed, neuroscience-based interventions that go beyond talk therapy. I will teach you to gain a deeper understanding of your nervous system processes, regulate your emotions and physical reactions, and retrain your brain so it changes its unhelpful responses to stress.

Perhaps something wounding in your history has fractured your wholeness and you feel overwhelmed and less connected to your core. There may be a part of you that feels conflicted, and challenges in life may feel like too much. Maybe the ever-evolving, and unique-expression of life that you are, is not feeling supported in its development. Having self-governance and allowing the unique-expression of life emerge through us is a birthright of humanity. You can be connected with your core, essence and inner guidance system that leads the way to your healing.

Life can throw us a great deal of challenges and obstacles. Emotions, memories, thoughts - it can all be so overwhelming when we are trying to make change happen. I have been helping individuals, couples, and families heal for over 10 years. I provide assessment and treatment to individuals struggling with a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals with complex trauma and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

I believe that all problems that seem to defy solutions are directly affected – even determined - by how you experience and relate to yourself and others. Exploring the psychological meaning and emotional sense you attach to your specific internal struggles, feelings, and experiences can bring new insights and creative changes to your life. I am deeply committed to facilitating a safe, trusting relationship that can help you heal, grow, and become more fully yourself. I work with a wide range of individuals and couples, focusing on helping people create healthy and fulfilling lives in their internal and external worlds.

“The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.” - Esther Perel. I guide clients to reflect on the relationship they have with themselves and with others, while prioritizing connection and presence. Being heard and feeling heard can foster intimacy, however it can also feel vulnerable to self-disclose parts of the self which have been masked and hidden away.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent people as well as trauma recovery, focusing on deep level processing. My practice is neurobiologically informed and draws upon somatic techniques, IFS, as well as conventional talk therapy. It’s important for me to provide my clients with a safe space to explore their feelings and thoughts. The therapeutic relationship offers so much potential for deeper healing, especially when you have attachment wounds from your early relationships.

Do you struggle with knowing how to express yourself to the important people in your life? Put words to your feelings? Understand how to navigate disappointment, loss, failure, or uncertainty? Me too. I've been there. I work with clients who desire clarity and peace in their lives. My clients strive towards healing the legacy of their pasts and moving towards greater connection in their present relationships. In therapy, they want to work with someone they can relate to. If this is something you are looking for, feel welcome to reach out for a free consult with me.

Perhaps you’ve grown tired of carrying beliefs like “I’m not good enough” or “I’m unlovable”. Maybe you’re hoping to find relief from the all-too-familiar persistent anxiety, and low self-esteem. Perhaps you're tired of constantly people-pleasing, and relentlessly criticizing yourself. Well...You are not alone. Each one of us has a unique story; a diverse history filled with moments of joy and pain. Sometimes, our stories become overrun with unhelpful assumptions or beliefs, sometimes trauma plays a role. It’s natural for challenges to be a part of our story; but I want to ensure they do not dictate all your future chapters.

Life is hardly ever easy. But suffering can be lessened, especially with the help of another human being, trained to help you navigate life's challenges and uncover your inner strengths. If you are seeking better self-understanding, leading to new ways of responding to the world so you can have better relationships, greater life’s satisfaction, a calmer mind, and greater resilience, then my approach to therapy could be right for you. I will work with you to help you untie your inner knots, reduce inner tension and confusion, and increase your capacity to cope with whatever life throws at you.

Whether you are feeling stuck in life, experiencing a transition or loss, or feeling disconnected from your core self, counselling can help. My clients are typically high-functioning and competent individuals, yet struggle on the inside with issues such as anxiety, emptiness, identity and recurring unhelpful patterns which affect them, their relationships, and other areas of their lives. What if you viewed the parts of you that feel stuck or the issues that you experience as profound opportunities for growth and transformation?

Are you looking for support for yourself, your family, your relationship, or your child/children? You may be looking for something specific or perhaps you just have a sense of being unwell. We can work through worries or fears, low mood or anger and irritability, fatigue, poor focus, poor sleep (including insomnia and nightmares), life stressors and more. If you know (or suspect) that you struggle with anxiety, depression, substance use or any mental illness, we can work together to address your needs. We can also tackle grief, loss and trauma, in a way that is structured (contained), at your pace and when you feel safe to do so.
