Life Coaching Therapists in Lake Country, BC

I offer low-fee therapy for those without insurance coverage in my capacity as a Pre-Licensed Therapist completing the last 50% of my clinical hours toward licensing. If money has been the only thing holding you back from taking charge of your life, let me help!

Whether you seek skills acquisition, introspection, or a safe place to have a voice, I invite you to experience the benefits of taking time to invest in you! Our physical health and mental health are wonderfully connected. Our ability to be self and other aware greatly increases the options and knowledge we have to achieve our goals. My goal is to meet you where you are as you navigate the intersections of life before you.

Are you experiencing uncertainty, a life transition or change in life. Maybe you are navigating grief, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or postpartum depression. Let's collaboratively find ways to support you best. Though I offer talk therapy, I am all about acting on discoveries. Once the problem has been named and understood, I collaborate with you to come up with an effective next step. My style is direct, supportive, compassionate. reality-focused and highly practical. I am result driven and I look for immediate application while providing warm, welcoming, inclusive and encouraging space.

You're looking for much more than a therapist - you're here because you desire something to change in your life or relationships. I empower people and their relationships to overcome obstacles, connect, rediscover and reclaim their best and authentic lives. I work to create a safe and confidential space for all - to freely explore, acknowledge, resist external pressures and move towards what's right for you. I don’t “diagnose,” fix “disorders,” or pathologize “patients” - I collaborate with people in practical ways that consider their experiences, their needs, their style, their goals - at their pace.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. At some points, we can all experience difficult times and need help and support to guide us through. Experiences that have caused pain, anxiety, grief, loss, or shame can feel overpowering if left unrecognized. Working side by side with you on your journey is a privilege. My approach not only focuses on relief from distress, but also helps to develop new tools and clarity of thoughts and feelings through open exploration. A process that can ultimately open up greater inner strength, joy, self-compassion, and serenity.

If you have experienced things that are so overwhelming or suffered a trauma it can sometimes feel debilitating and this can compromise your ability to function and cope this is because trauma affects our nervous system. When you are triggered by an event or a person you produce an emotional charge and when you leave or ignore these issues they get locked in our body and this affects the way you think, feel and behave. In order to feel better and recover you need to address these unresolved issues to release that emotional charge.

As a mental health professional, I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal conflicts, and personal growth. I am dedicated and passionate about helping my clients recognize their potential and overcome challenges. I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients, including youth, young adults, and adults, providing them with a safe and supportive environment to explore their emotions and experiences.

Hello! I am so glad that you found me. My name is Sarada and I am an experienced therapist holding a Masters in Social Work degree. I work with individuals, couples, families and organizations to identify their values and create greater alignment with their purpose and vision. I believe that my role is to support you to remember and act upon your truest and most authentic Self. What would your life look like when you live the life of your dreams and fullest potential? What is the one step that you can take today to remember and live out that inner spark that we all have?

As humans, I understand that we are wired for, and long for connection in our lives. Connection to ourselves, to others, and to our world. I believe in the importance and healing nature of connection and aim to develop strong, trusting relationships with my clients that allow connection and purpose to flourish in and outside of sessions. I place a special focus on holistic health, mindfulness, breath work, nervous system regulation and building awareness of the self. While I employ a variety of therapeutic techniques and modalities in my practice, I tailor every session to best fit your unique story and individual needs.

You are taking a proactive step toward addressing and improving your mental and emotional well-being as well as the quality of your relationships. I invite you into a confidential and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insight, and work toward positive change. It all starts with a simple conversation. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, facing challenges, or simply need someone to talk to, counselling can provide a safe space for you to explore and grow.

I'm here to help you examine the issues and concerns you have about your thoughts, fears, behaviours, habits, work, and relationships. I especially enjoy assisting people who feel "stuck" to understand the mechanics of what helped get you stuck, and how to get moving again. My area of particular focus is relational issues, whether they be with friends, romantic partners or prospects, co-workers, family, etc.

I have always enjoyed connecting with and learning from others; this has driven my passion for mental health support for many years. Before completing my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work, I worked with my local rural fire department as a paid-on-call firefighter for nearly 8 years. I was consistently humbled throughout my experiences by the resilience and camaraderie engrained in first responder culture. I believe in the importance of having clinicians who 'get what we do', ultimately leading me to combine two of my passions (firefighting & mental health) and become one.

As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and Supervisor, I believe every person is the expert of their life. I provide a safe environment where people can process and gain the insights and awareness they are seeking. Many of us feel trapped in shame, fear, loneliness, anger, and hurt. These feelings are often deep-rooted and have not been recognized, acknowledged and shared with someone non-judgmental. Although well-intentioned, family members, friends and co-workers offer advice and support in ways that inhibit our healing process. As we share our life stories with someone objective we are able to heal ourselves.

I love supporting teens, young adults and adults on their journeys. I have extensive experience as a teacher, school counsellor, and as a mom (I have 4 young adult children). Life can feel exhausting and overwhelming at times, as we balance work-family-home-life, especially when challenges are thrown our way. When our kids struggle we struggle alongside them (and vice versa). Our relationships suffer. You may feel sadness, heartbreak, helplessness, worry and fear. Maybe you are feeling lost and lonely or you are not feeling fulfilled in your life. We all go through times in our lives, when we need to reach out for support.

Are you struggling with the loss of a loved one, whether recently or some time ago, and are feeling numb, scattered, or struggling to live everyday life? Have you experienced the loss of your career, health, pet, or any number of life's many losses?
