Attachment-based Therapists in Duncan, BC

If you're looking for a counsellor you may be going through a crisis or experience chronic emotional pain, feel anxious and depressed or numb and shut down. You may be in a destructive cycle of compulsive, out-of-control behaviours - struggling with living in a chronic state of fight, flight, or disconnected freeze. You may be a compulsive people-pleaser, have difficulty setting boundaries, or be overcome with grief. And you may, in spite of honest effort, have discovered that anxiety and depression, cravings, loss of control, or carrying on despite negative consequences are beyond reason and willpower to overcome.

Do you find yourself in states of dread or worry about the past, present or future? Have you experienced traumatic events and the impact is still present in your life? Are you finding that low energy is getting in the way of feeling a sense of connection, belonging, or happiness? Is parenting your child or youth especially challenging right now? Together, we can create a connected, safe space, upholding your dignity and strengths as we navigate changes together towards a more connected, happy, calm and preferred sense of you.

There are times in life when we are faced with challenges that leave us feeling stuck or in crisis. As difficult as these times may be there is also an opportunity for growth and change. Counselling can provide an opportunity to gain the tools and insight needed to navigate through this process in a healthy and supported way.

We all go through different problems, experience different life stressors or trauma, and at times everyone needs someone to just listen. Dakova Health has trained and experienced psychologists and counsellors that specialize in different areas of practice to meet your specific needs.

Professional Counselling, Integrated Therapies, and Heart-Centred Hypnotherapy for couples, groups, and individuals 16 and up. Integrated Therapies create an embodied, trauma-informed space of exploration and connection, for the resolution of trauma, life and relationship patterns, and interpersonal conflict. Sessions seek to reflect, witness and support what is new, emerging and most needed for resolution and growth. As we discover + embrace our own inner 'coding' of language, symbols, meaning and emotion, we find a new engagement with life, ourselves, and those around us, becoming more aware, responsive, and connected from within.

Hello! I am Sarah and I live and work on the homelands of the Hul’qumi’num People. I am a trauma therapist and primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and EMDR to work with individuals on their path to a healthy and integrated life. After working in physical and mental health professions for more than 15 years, I shifted to private practice mental health counselling as a means of helping clients enhance their resilience and coping skills.  I aim to ensure a non-judgemental environment and welcome all clients, offering a safe place to tell your story. You are not alone.

Clients who seek me out are interested in developing a deeper experience of life. Their journey may be precipitated by depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, but they are often interested in more than symptom relief. They are seeking to develop a stronger sense of self, or an optimized experience of life. This may take the form of becoming the most effective they can be in their personal and professional lives, or it can take the form of embarking on, or continuing, a spiritual search for meaning and connection.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious or experiencing the same-old challenges in your relationships? Somatic Therapy can safely get to the root of the issues and support your system to release these old patterns. I love working with all types of people, new to therapy, seasoned clients and everyone in between. My areas of passion and focus are attachment wounding, chronic pain, sexualized and domestic violence and personal and professional growth and development. I have a lot of experience with mindfulness based stress reduction and building capacity to feel "alive" in the body. www.resiliencesomatics.ca

Hi! Thank you for choosing to read my practice profile. My goal is to listen openly and with curiosity to what is bringing you to therapy at this time. You might be seeking help in any or all these areas: going through a difficult transition or loss, feeling stuck in a relational pattern that is not working for you, finding you are frequently *hijacked* by your emotions or wanting to pursue personal growth work. Together we will determine where to focus our attention and work.

I am passionate about working with people who have experienced violence and trauma, those navigating creative and alternative life paths, and those wanting to connect deeper with their own desires and a fuller expression of themselves. I work to come from a place of deep compassion and understanding for the ways in which the world around us can impact our ability to be our most embodied and whole selves. I brings a justice lens to my counselling. I seek to see the ways that symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and challenges with communication, trust, and building relationships are responses to trauma, violence, and oppression.

Thank you for stopping by. I am currently accepting new clients. I work from where the client is at - essentially you are in the driver's seat of where you want your counselling sessions to go. I have extreme empathy for people's situations and issues they find themselves in. Who hasn't struggled to find ways to deal with things that life throws out at you? I know you are doing the best you can at this moment in time.

I offer holistic, trauma informed, person-centered counselling services to children, youth, young adults, parents and expectant parents (pregnancy, postpartum). My approach considers the essential role of the nervous system and is grounded in attachment theory, neuroscience, mindfulness, narrative therapy, emotion focused therapy, CBT, DBT, expressive arts and play therapy. I have over 20 years experience working with individuals and families in community based child and family services programs and 10 years as a counsellor, where I have worked for Child and Youth Mental Health and in private practice.

I am committed to creating a comfortable space for you to strengthen your abilities and face your challenges. I have over 20 years of experience helping people overcome challenges including trauma, addictions, depression, anxiety, family violence, anger management, developmental delays, behavioral challenges, eating disorders, ADHD/ADD and divorce. I work with individuals and families to help them identify their goals and develop the skills needed to reach them.
