Women's Issues Therapists in Langley, BC

Dr. Karen Reilly is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who brings warmth, empathy and over 25 years of experience to help you improve your relationships, reduce anxiety or depression, cope with loss, and manage major life transitions. Counselling is a place to build on your strengths and find solutions to the many challenges you face every day. It is also a place to be truly heard in a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment. People come for so many reasons, but often the most pressing is an overwhelming sense of unhappiness with the life they are living. I can help you find a way to live the life you truly want to live.

It can be lonely struggling through mental health problems by yourself. You don't want to burden your family or your support system but you desperately need to connect with someone who understands and who doesn't judge you. I have a strength-based focus which means together we look for what you are doing well and apply similar and new skills to a current problem. You are wired for growth and health! It is in there, but sometimes we need a skilled therapist to help identify problem areas, help us gain awareness, and find what works for the client in any given situation.

I offer video conferencing, phone, counselling services to individuals, couples, and families throughout British Columbia. I offer in-person sessions based out of Langley and throughout the Lower Mainland. I have chosen to provide online counselling for many reasons, including convenience, affordability, service accessibility for those who live in remote areas, service accessibility for people with physical limitations, and other challenges attending in-person sessions. I offer online counselling with a flexible schedule, and in-person sessions during office hours Mon-Fri 9:00am-5:00pm.

We all deserve to live life that is fulfilling and meaningful to us. Our life experiences shape how we think and feel. When dealing with challenges we can feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or feel a loss of purpose or spiritual connection. We may feel we are in a crisis, feeling hopeless and alone. Counselling can help clients who wish to gain insight into their lives, relationships or jobs, who wish to make a change, or process past trauma. I have 5 years experience as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I also have 20 years of experience in IT Services, Consulting & Management in the areas of Leadership and IT Organizational Design.

Children and Youth particularly respond well to Art Therapy as it offers a less confrontational approach to counselling . I have experience working with children and youth with various challenges stemming from parental separation, anxiety disorders, grief and loss and especially difficulties with social inclusion and feeling outcasted.

Hello, I’m Kathryn Jacobsen, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and Certified Hypnotherapist. I understand how you can feel lost, lonely and disconnected. I empathize with the pain and struggle those feelings can bring. I know life can sometimes feel disempowering and overwhelming. I have experienced life’s challenges as a woman, a wife, a daughter and a mother. Through my own journey in life, and extensive training, I have become passionate and dedicated to helping you claim who you truly are, in your own way and at your own pace.

I look forward to helping clients who are lacking feeling much or any happiness and joy and feel instead numb, worried and unable to change this, clients with complicated childhoods that have left them not understanding how to change the impacts and how they now live as an adult. Also, clients who want to understand themselves more so they can choose differently, are ready for a change, to listen to their own needs and want to understand how to move forward to experience a different life. In many ways this process is like going back and relearning yourself, the whys and ways you became you and who are meant to be.

If you are looking for an authentic, warm counsellor who can support you as you find your way through difficult times I would love to meet with you & see how we can work together to create the change you want. I know that it can be hard to reach out that first time. I know because I have been in your shoes - I've done the work too. Life is hard. Working to improve it can be made easier by finding someone who you feel truly cares & feels safe to explore the deeper questions. Weaving together education & life experiences I offer unique perspectives & insight that can often ignite new ideas and ways forward for my clients.

Being well versed in a broad spectrum of creative and empowering therapeutic approaches allows me to use a tailored approach to best support your specific personality, learning style and particular concerns.

When we are overwhelmed with the struggles of life & our past trauma, it can feel as if our whole life is unravelling. It can be a lonely, dark, anxious space & it’s not easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps you have felt unworthy, unseen & unheard. I know what that feels like. I imagine you are here, because you want to do something different. Perhaps you have been trying to do it on your own. What if I told you, you were never meant to? Is there something in you stirring, a flame burning, desiring change in your life? Lets get curious. Connect with me to start on your own unique healing journey.

The clients I work with understand that there is a spiritual thread that weaves beneath the surface of their lives, and they are seeking guidance on how to re-connect to this important aspect of who they are. I commonly work with fertility struggles, grief processing, depression, overwhelm, addictions, anxiety, relationship conflict, eating disorders, low self esteem, trust issues, and clients who are simply unhappy with the current state of their life. Ultimately, my clients are searching for balance between the mind, body and spirit aspects of self, which when in alignment, can lead to a heart-centered, joyful, fulfilling life.

Transitions Counselling Centre's mission is to help people heal and grow through periods of transitions in their lives.

You don't have to be alone in this journey.  We can look into the cause of your problems and process the issues that are standing in the way of you reaching your full potential.

I entered the counselling field with a desire to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for people who are struggling. Since then, I have come to know the power of not only feeling heard but the power of connecting with others – often just being with another person can help us to heal. I strive to provide clients with a space to be themselves and feel known. I want my clients to know they can bring the most authentic versions of themselves to the counselling room.

Do you feel a bit wobbly, worried, stressed out, or stuck in repeating patterns that aren’t working for you anymore? Maybe you’re having a tough time navigating through anxiety, depression, or complicated personal relationships. Perhaps you’d like to get better at communicating with the ones in your life that matter the most. You could also be wondering why painful memories from long ago keep popping up and you wonder if there’s a way to make them stop. Facing all of this alone can feel overwhelming, but real healing and change can come when you connect with someone you trust and feel fully safe with.
