Sex Therapy in Surrey, BC

Hello! I’m Amber and I am a trauma-informed, strengths-based, Registered Clinical Counsellor who uses a relational-attachment-based approach in my work with individuals and couples coping with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, relationship, sexuality and communication/boundary challenges. I have been working in the field of counselling and mental health for 11 years and in private practice since 2014. I offer a free 15-minute confidential consultation via phone to determine whether my services and approach are a good fit for you. Feel free to reach out via phone or email anytime.

A common misconception is that you need to hit "rock bottom" before you decide to seek counselling. There are numerous reasons why a person may choose to speak with a qualified professional; everything from taking preventative measures to addressing a full-blown crisis. Whether you're in a season of life where you're looking for insight, needing some guidance in making a shift or transition, wanting to change but not being sure how, hurting badly and feeling hopeless, carrying a burden of past traumas and memories, or in a crisis and you've reached your limit - counselling can help.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Counselling Art Therapist. I believe that everyone should have access to holistic equity-based counselling. As such, I am passionate about creating a safe, respectful, and validating space for you to explore your mental health and lived experiences through traditional talk therapy with the option of art and the art making process. Sometimes words do not get our important thoughts and feelings quite right, and art can be a great way to explore what lies within. No art experience needed!

Sometimes, staying the same hurts more than changing, and it’s hard to know where to go next. You’re noticing that things aren’t as you’d like them to be- you feel out of touch with yourself and who you want to be, maybe life doesn’t have the same sparkle as it used to, or you feel a big ol’ case of the blahs coming on. Your inner critic may be harsh, you may find it difficult to step away from the keyboard, or you may feel some inner pain you don’t know how to escape. Maybe you want someone to walk beside you through that journey. It can be scary to go alone!

It is human to struggle, we all have our ups and downs and being isolated in our emotional experience can just make it worse. Most emotions and behaviour makes sense in context. However, when left on our own to try to piece together our challenges, we can find ourselves plagued with self doubt and often feel lost. Therapy can help you see your situation objectively, accept even the imperfect parts of yourself, and work to use these parts as a roadmap into better health and well-being. We are not always able to control what life throws our way, but with help, we can transform these experiences into personal growth and wisdom.

I am a firm believer in helping others to empower themselves in making a powerful and lasting change in their own lives. Together through therapy, I believe in helping clients let go of all the things stopping them from having the life they have always imagined and deserved. If you are struggling with your relationship, struggling with Anxiety, Depression, or Trauma, lonliness, or maybe even feeling like you want a more fulfilling life for yourself than I would love to hear from you. I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds and have a wealth of experience and knowledge.

I recognize that therapy is not a “one size” fit all approach. As humans, we are beautiful complex beings, who are unique with their own individual stories. My approach embodies the essence of a holistic and cultural view to capture my clients whole self, rather than isolated identities. To be understood, it is important to acknowledge all elements of our existence: biological, social, emotional, and mental process.

Our journeys are not a straight line. Bends and breaks can challenge us. But therapy can help you navigate these journeys in a healthy way. You deserve to be healthy in all aspects of life. You deserve the best life has to offer so you can live to your fullest potential. Holistic, culturally-appropriate, and growth-oriented counselling. No matter what your story or background is, counselling can help. I provide personal, couples, family, and group counselling, as well as counselling services through ICBC and the Crime Victims Assistance Program.

Are you an individual struggling from the negative impact of childhood/adulthood trauma, a couple wondering how to transform romantic and intimate connections and end codependency, or a family working on resolving issues? If you are interested in exploring identity, intersectionality, and/or transformation feel free to contact us. I am a registered clinical counsellor RCC, available in person and online. I look forward to working with you to unblock joy, resiliency and prosperity. Let's connect and say "enough" to intense chaos and debilitating struggles. Coverage accepted: private, ICBC and Crime Victims Program.

I have over 15 years experience working with stress, depression, eating disorders and anxiety disorders of all kinds. These underlying dysfunctional patterns can take many forms, therefore the treatment approach may vary however evidence based CBT is the most effective treatment in these areas, especially when it is paired in combination with psychodynamic,relational and hypnosis approaches also as needed. Healing is probable, and happens as a result of conscious daily actions and unconscious dynamics that shift as a result of this process. I work with individuals who are ready and willing to change there thinking to heal for life.

I work with clients who come from a variety of backgrounds, and specialize in trauma recovery and neurodiversity. I’m passionate about helping people identify their own strengths and resources in overcoming the challenges that life throws at us. It’s important for me to provide my clients with a safe space to explore their feelings and thoughts. In this way, I work with my clients collaboratively to help them gain new tools that they can take with them outside of the counselling room.

I can help you to make powerful and lasting changes in your life. Supporting individuals, teens, couples, and families for over twelve years I am able to provide excellent therapeutic care. The journey of growth can be exciting as you uncover new possibilities. You simply require a wise, experienced, and compassionate guide to help bring you to your strength and wisdom, so that you can joyfully embrace life. 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.

My purpose is to assist you in facing and processing traumatic / adverse life experiences that could have resulted in anxiety, depression, PTSD, addictions, anger issues, etc. Together, we will explore and unravel the nature and roots of what prevents you from living a happier life. Despite the possible challenges that may arise on this way, please know that you have a huge potential to live your life based on what is right with you. As a clinician, I am committed to do to the best of my abilities for facilitating this process and helping you reach your goals.

Whether it is for the fear of judgment, shame, distrust, or a persistent feeling that nothing will change, asking for help is a remarkably difficult thing to do for most of us. At Lemon Tree Counselling Centre, our mission is to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported at all times. Our team’s goal is to help you and your family achieve your therapeutic goals by walking alongside you on your journey and providing you with the necessary tools and resources to promote positive change.
