Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Sechelt, BC
I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, stress, perfectionism, low self-esteem, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that come with being human.
Do you seem like you have it all together, but inside you're constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or feeling like you can never quite do enough? Maybe you're an athlete striving for peak performance, someone who's always been the dependable one, or you're navigating a life that doesn't fit society's expectations. Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with self-criticism, recovering from a setback or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to identify what's getting in the way and build the confidence and flexibility to move forward.

My work has been shaped by supporting Indigenous and BIPOC youth and adults, and women facing barriers.
So... you've become really good at pushing things down, staying busy, or convincing yourself you're fine. (Spoiler: it usually catches up with us. If you're here, there's a good chance it already has.) Therapy here isn't about nodding for 50 minutes while you do all the talking. We'll get curious about what's keeping you stuck, gently challenge the stories that no longer serve you, and make sense of them together.
This is a space where you can slow down and be fully yourself, messy parts included. Swearing about life is 100% allowed, humour is encouraged, and there's no need to filter yourself here.

I work with youth, adults, and couples; and pull from numerous modalities; but lean more heavily on Somatics, and practices based in Neurobiology.
Hi, I’m Rebecca, and I’m a Registered Counsellor, Trauma Specialist, Clinical Herbalist, & Coach. I’ve spent most of my life working with people, animals, plants… all living things really. I have a passion for supporting others in their journey back to the root of who they are. Helping them find the essence of what makes them feel whole and complete. We are all humans, perfectly imperfect in every way. We are unique, contradictory, seeking, and doing our best with the tools that we have available to us. I believe that our stories are sacred, and we have the power and the right to choose who we share our stories with.

I tend to work with folks who aren’t feeling satisfied with their quality of life. This may show up as perfectionism, lack of motivation, hyper-independence, people pleasing tendencies, imposter syndrome etc. My therapy approach is relational and collaborative. Feeling comfortable and connected is when therapy is most effective. My goal is to support you to understand yourself and what you need; to come back home to yourself. I have experience working in healthcare, not for profit, and private settings.

I work with youth and adults on a variety of concerns from a number of different perspectives.
I envision life as a journey that is influenced by our experiences, our relationships with others, and our personal, societal, and cultural stories. As a therapist, I believe my role is to join you on your journey for a stretch, as a kind of wilderness guide who may be able to point out unrecognized phenomena, different perspectives, and highlight your strengths and values as they relate to your journey. The goals and direction are yours, and together, we will create a plan that's right for you. Coming to counselling is hugely courageous; I commend you on beginning your search for a therapist who will be a good fit for your goals.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
