Elders (65+) Therapists in Kelowna, BC

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, or challenging thoughts which impact your ability to manage the demands of daily living, relationships, work, career, or your ability to function? Do you often feel overwhelmed, frustrated, ambivalent, indifferent, lost, or angry. Are you finding it difficult to live up to the expectations of others or your own high standards? Does this make it difficult for you to act according to your values and live the life you want? Our modern society is fast paced, virtually-linked, and for many socially disconnected. I believe one can live a meaningful and purpose filled life even in our era.

Are you struggling with feelings of insecurity, lack of motivation, and/ or worth and value? Are you feeling unmotivated, uninterested, or simply uninspired? Perhaps you're dealing with a tragedy, a difficult relationship, or are struggling to find your purpose. Whatever your reason for considering therapy, I hope you'll push forward, reach out, and find hope in knowing that lasting change, no matter when, what time, or in what stage of life you're in, is possible!

Hello there! I'm Jocelyn Winkler, and I'm thrilled to connect with you! I offer virtual therapy services throughout beautiful British Columbia. I specialize in providing support for those grappling with grief, trauma, and the weight of anxiety and depression. My mission? To be your ally in navigating life's ups and downs. I am dedicated to digging deep, uncovering the root of your concerns for long-lasting change. I believe in creating a cozy, safe space where healing can truly flourish, empowering you to chase after the life you've always dreamed of.

Whether you need support through a significant life event, you're having unkind thoughts about yourself or others and want to work through them, or you are just generally feeling unwell and want to regain balance – therapy allows someone to walk with you on that journey. You may have days where you feel low, nervous, unmotivated, or lost. Those can get in the way of your enjoyment, your relationships, or you just being at your best. I work with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, placing intentional focus on folks who identify within the IBPOC, queer, gay/lesbian, trans, and other underserved communities.

Would you like to be well? I believe most people want to be well, but often lack knowledge or life skills. Equipping people to achieve healthy change is my goal. I have been a professional counsellor for over thirty years, with twelve of them in the field of addictions treatment and co-dependency.

I am a counsellor of 25 years, with a diverse background in anger management, addictions, domestic violence, emotional trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about helping individuals process their anger and emotions without the emotional outbursts and rage that can be detrimental to their relationships. Over the years I have helped men and women get to the root of their anger and develop the communication skills to help them express their feelings verbally in a respectful way rather than explosively. I also help individuals find purpose.

Hello! Together we will create a safe and brave space to explore, understand and work through any challenges, issues and topics that bring you to counselling. We will examine patterns of behaviours, the stories we tell ourselves, and deep emotional wounds, which may present as anxiety, grief, loss, low self-esteem, or ‘just going through a hard time’. Counselling allows us to feel our sadness, our anger, and celebrate our joy all while we develop new skills. In a supportive and warm environment, we will work at your pace, find tools and strategies to help you accept, cope or nurture change in your life.

Life happens. Will you let life happen to you, or will you choose your direction? Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life changes, or just feeling stuck, you always have a choice. I work with individuals, couples and families to cultivate new ways of looking at problems. I will draw on your strengths and also help you develop new skills to assist you along the way.

I value creating a safe and supportive space for my clients by building a trusting, open and non-hierarchical relationship founded on the deeper connection developed through our shared humanity. We are all in this together. Suffering is part of the human condition, but when we attempt to avoid or suppress our natural emotions, we tend to create additional challenges and pain in our lives. Rather than trying to resolve difficult thoughts and emotions, I help my clients develop a different relationship with these internal experiences, so they can move forward in their journey with meaning and purpose.

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.

Are you navigating through a sea of emotions, feeling lost or overwhelmed? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you? My approach is grounded in a holistic perspective, recognizing that mental, physical, and social well-being are interconnected facets of your whole self. Together, we'll explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and add to your existing coping skills toolkit. We'll look with open curiosity at how your past experiences have shaped you and if those patterns of thinking still serve you. You are not alone, and you deserve the time and space to find balance, insight, and growth.

Most of my clients struggle with Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and/or Depression. Often times, their day-to-day activities suffer due to the implications of these challenges. Their relationships, professional goals, and personal aspirations seem difficult to realize. Their primary goal is to live purposeful, happy lives alongside Anxiety, Depression, and/or OCD. They wish to manage the impact of these challenging mental health problems and feel empowered.

Crossroads Collective's mission is to help people heal and grow through periods of transitions in their lives. Many of us struggle with alcohol / addictions, experience loss, grief, unhappiness or a sense of loss when we transition from one role to another in our daily lives. Some of us lose people we love, dreams we can no longer achieve, changes in careers, the diagnosis of a child with special needs, a loved one entering care, or who is ailing in health, Divorce from a spouse, the beginning of a new marriage, perhaps with a blended family. We accept private insurance plans, Victim Services(CVAP), ICBC Claims and Autism

It would be my privilege to support you through all the steps that follow as you recover, heal, and create the life you want and deserve. I support clients who are tired of feeling anxious, stressed, and/or depressed; who want to silence that inner-critic, heal from pain and loss, build their self esteem, improve their relationships, and take charge of their lives again.
