Alcohol Use Therapists in Langley, BC

I am passionate about providing ethical, empirically supported, and nonjudgmental mental health care to a wide range of individuals and couples. I love working with people who are unsure of whether therapy is right for them or not - I like a tough crowd! It is part of my job to figure out how best to serve you. I truly believe that we carry our early attachment experiences with us throughout life, and they can both help and hinder us. Together we can unravel the mess and find out what's going on.

I value helping others to develop and enhance skills which will support a good relationship with self and others. We all struggle at times and I know first-hand how impactful compassion and support from a skilled counsellor can be. During difficult times in our lives we need people in our corner who believe in us. It was my personal experience with some very kind and compassionate counsellors that led me to the helping profession.

Hello and welcome to SpeakHope Counselling! My name is Jermaine. Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression?

Many people experience these challenges at some point in their lives, and it can be difficult to know where to turn for help. That's where I come in.

At ProMentality we approach wellness from a strength-based perspective. You are in the drivers seat - not the clinician. Your clinician is there to provide support and guide you in the direction you want to go! We would be honoured to walk along side you on your path to your best self!

We all have a story unique to our lived experiences, and I strive to provide a space for each person to feel safe and empowered. Our stories deserve to be heard with compassion and respect and without judgment or assumptions. When we feel safe, we can open up and allow ourselves to be seen, which takes courage. Working in the field of substance use for the past twelve years has allowed me to witness the strength, resiliency, and ability to heal that is in each of us.

You're likely here searching for a therapist because you're struggling with something or someone. Perhaps anxiety or depression have become too much to manage on your own. Maybe a relationship has become the source of pain. You may be struggling against a part of yourself that has you thinking or acting in ways you'd like to modify. At Sojourn we believe everyone has the capacity for change and positive growth.

At times feelings, or life circumstances become so intense or painful, we become desperate to find ways to fix, avoid, or control them. We may get stuck in worry and self-doubt, avoid meaningful activities, feel unable to let go of control, withdraw from relationships, shut down feelings, ruminate on past hurts, escape into TV, the internet, video games, drugs or alcohol, or get pulled into compulsive or impulsive behaviours. What was meant to fix the problem, ends up making it worse. As life becomes about controlling feelings, it becomes less about what is really important to us - our values and passions.

Are you feeling on edge? Are you experiencing a sense of loss or confusion of where to go or what to do for relief? Are you a parent or family member needing solutions or support? I am here to assist you in finding your path of reprieve and stability. I see myself as one who helps heal along side with others! Together We will find your strengths and create your inner calm along with unlocking the buried emotional pain you may be struggling with. It took courage and trust to reach out, you have come this far, contact me and we will work on finding your happiness and freedom of distress and chaos. I look forward to connecting.

I invite you practice a few deep breaths as you reflect on aspects of your journey that led you to this page. Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Exhausted or drained? Perhaps seeking to to learn new coping tools or wanting to develop your self-care practices? When we bottle up emotions and feel disconnected to both ourselves and others it can be difficult to access healing, recovery, and growth. Counselling can provide a space to press pause from busyness or turmoil. Seeking a safe space to rest. reflect, and to feel restored.

I am a strong believer that the mind is everything, and what you think, you can become. With the right tools one can make significant, and positive changes in personal growth. I believe seeking help is not a weakness, but a strength. I understand the complexities that people face in stressful situations, and work with clients to help resolve them whether that is your mood, thoughts, motivation, relationships, work, career or anything else that is important to you. I have a vast range of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, custody and access issues, cultural, and intergenerational issues.

I provide counselling and psychotherapy to adults and counsellors alike. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious, and are looking for support, perspective, kindness and clarity; I am here to help you navigate and reform your old patterns, while respecting and incorporating what has previously worked for you. It is important to me to provide you a safe, compassionate and empathetic space where you feel heard and understood. My goal is to offer perspective and support in a collaborative manner that helps you heal, build stability and security, in order to grow and forge a new path for a deeper more expansive sense of self.

There are many times in one person's life where one seeks support and information with resolving personal and psychological difficulties. Seeking counselling at this time will help break isolation and improve coping more effectively and quickly. Finding a good fit with someone is important to the success of the journey. I am trained in Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) where a client directs the counselling relationship by the feedback they provide. I believe in the right FIT and relationship between client and counsellor to be of great importance in helping a client in counselling.

I'm really glad you're here. Over the past 30 years I've supported a wide variety of people on their healing journey. Together, we have worked through issues around trauma (current, historic & generational) PTSD, addiction & recovery (including alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gaming, porn, shopping, relationships & gambling), sexuality & sexual orientation, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder. I have also supported people who live differently-abled lives, including those living on the autism spectrum and with Downs Syndrome. Please check out my website &/or call/text/email, to get to know me better.

I believe that every client is innately aware where they need to go (in therapy) to heal themselves. My role is to use my skills to help them along in that process. I meet clients where they are at recognizing that may change from session to session. We start with their goal(s) for counselling and work from there. I don't "need" to know anything in particular before we start. I find that with a trusting relationship, a client will share all that is relevant in order to attain their goal(s).
