Therapists in Armstrong, 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.

Hello, I'm Niki, very nice to meet you. Chances are you are noticing that some things in your life just aren't working anymore. There are some life events that impact our emotional well-being.

In therapy, I can help you to work through the process of healing. I have a genuine and compassionate approach that I bring to each session. I hope to help you find emotional health.

Hi, My name is Andie Mckillop and I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor. I have worked in the Human Services and Crisis Intervention field for the last 16 years, providing support to children, teens and adults to address mental health, addictions and domestic abuse concerns. Reaching out for support during difficult times can create feelings of uncertainty or fear. At Lotus Counselling, I strive to provide a warm, accepting and non - judgemental environment while meeting the very unique challenges faced by each individual.

I bring my over 30 years of experience with counselling to you, offering culturally safe, trauma informed and evidence based treatments. We will build on your skills and strengths, working together and drawing from community to obtain the results you want from counselling. I am influenced by a number of therapeutic modalities, but my approach is based on being person-centered, meaning that I strive to understand the client’s point of view, and create a relationship that is caring, genuine and non-judgmental. I have specialized training in Trauma/PTSD treatment, ADHD, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Based CBT, and ACT. EMDR.

I believe that each of us is capable of much more than we are aware, and that being seen and supported can shine light on the innate wisdom and strength within. As your therapist, some of the themes I will explore with you are attachment patterns, automatic thoughts, self-limiting beliefs, and emotion processing. I use an integrative approach pulling from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Based CBT. My practice is inclusive and person-centered - you are the expert in your own life and I value and respect the unique perspective you bring.

I focus my practice supporting folks in managing concerns such as disordered eating, intrusive thoughts about your body, anxiety, over-exercising and any concern that limits your ability to just "be" in your body. Whether it's concerns regarding your body's size, ability, ethnicity, chronic pain or being gender (non)conforming, my goal is to help you achieve the relationship you want with your body. I take a health-at-every-size approach, as well as a body positive or body neutral approach, meaning that I understand that a body's size does not determine its health, and I work with you to uncover the relationship you want with you.
