Canada Life | Great-West Life Therapists in V6H

Using a cutting edge combination of psychotherapy, neurofeedback, and biofeedback, I take a holistic approach to wellness which addresses the mind, brain, body, and spirit. If you or your child is stuck and unable to navigate self-defeating or unmanageable patterns of behaviour, emotion, or relationships, I have powerful tools and 15+ years of experience to help you find freedom and optimize your well being. As a counsellor, my priority is to ensure that my clients feel safe, understood, and skillfully supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere. "The person is never the problem - the problem is the problem".

I am committed to generating value for clients by focusing on their abilities, goals and strengths, as well as recognizing the importance of being flexible, accessible and collaborative. I focus on a person’s individual nature and encourage them to take more of a lead in therapy so that they can discover their own solutions and use their personal intuition to find wisdom, growth, healing and fulfillment within themselves. I offer a safe, non-judgmental and nurturing space for clients to express themselves and process difficult feelings, life transitions and daily struggles.

Some people seek my help to deal with current life struggles, a significant loss, or a change or life transition. For some, past childhood and/or adult abuse have had long-lasting effects on who they are and how they feel in the world. Often, people are looking for help to manage better and flourish more in life. I offer individual adult therapy for these issues. As a professional with over 20 years of experience, I also offer consultation to other therapists; I welcome questions about this aspect of my practice.

By processing past material that has become stuck in the nervous system, we can come out of being either overly activated or tuned out. Our Trauma Therapists are devoted to working holistically with those who wish to free themselves from the grips of trauma or grief and return to states of safety, connection, presence and empowerment.

Welcome to Integrated Counselling and Somatic Therapy. A question for you: If you take this moment to gently pause, or slow down a little. Perhaps notice your breathing. May I ask: what is most important to you? Knowing the answer is sometimes easy, sometimes elusive. It usually lights the way forward. If you are struggling with unresolved trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship or career issues or feeling dissatisfied with life, growth and healing are attainable.

Life's challenges are overwhelming at times. Many of us experience periods of hardship and stagnation, particularly in today's fast-paced world. You might be grappling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or addiction, and uncertain about what's going on. Perhaps you’re feeling frustrated with relationships and unhappy with your current path. There might be questions about meds and diagnoses in the mix as well. If any of this seems familiar, it’s good to meet you, I’m Justin Bagan, a registered clinical counsellor. I offer secure and affordable therapy to help you find renewed senses of hope, relief, and well-being.

Nothing can take the place of 30 years of hands-on practical experience in working full time as a therapist and providing Direct Neurofeedback treatments to help reset your nervous system. I can quickly and effectively get to the underlying root of your issue which helps to fast-track your therapy process. I can explain difficult concepts and draw out unproductive cycles of interactions in ways that are simple, clear, that help save you time and shift patterns quickly. Based on our initial session, I will tailor-make a treatment plan that fits your specific needs.

People seek out therapy because they cannot live their lives in the same way anymore. Perhaps there was a crisis, a feeling of despair, or a longing for something they have never had before. Therapy is a place to reflect on the past, explore present experiences and create change to have a different future. Therapy is not for the faint of heart, but with the right therapist, you will have a guide on your journey to knowing yourself more intimately.

I think every person has issues from time to time in their life that may benefit from the support of a non-judgemental and non-biased opinion. I believe that I can help you work through your difficulties by helping you find solutions to those problems. It is my goal to offer you with the tools and techniques needed to attain your entire personal well-being. My approach is laid-back and simple that is often comfortable for clients. I offer individual counseling for anxiety, depression and relationship issues. Also for couple/marital relationship conflict. My life/work experience is what I can offer to my clients.

Are you feeling disconnected from those around you? You might find yourself stuck in the same arguments or patterns with your loved one(s). Or you may be struggling to find a sense of belonging in your family, workplace, or a new community. This sense of isolation can magnify already stressful situations and have negative impacts on both your emotional and physical health. With support, you can experience the growth and healing that can come from reconnecting with yourself, and strengthening your relationship with others. My identities and experiences have shaped me to become the counsellor I am today, a wounded healer.

There is always space for self-improvement and growth. It is not always easy to reach out and open your heart and your life to someone. You might be going through tough times, and you might not be able to talk about it with anyone. Depression can take us to dark places and sometimes we might need a bit of a guidance and tools to be able to deal with it and understand it. There might be difficult life transitions that you can come across and you might want your life and your relationships to move to a better place.

With a broad base of life and work experiences, I counsel adults of all ages living with loss, trauma, mood imbalance, and anxiety. Three values guide my practice: connection, growth, and balance. A safe and trusting environment in counselling supports a therapeutic relationship, which can inspire changes in other relationships. Small changes can have a huge impact over time. Lifelong, each of us continues to develop, often learning from our mistakes and suffering. Balance is the key to health. There is healing power in the connections made between the body, heart, and mind.

Maybe you have been through a number of changes in the past and somehow they are still impacting you today. Or maybe you have experienced a number of changes in quick succession and everything feels like it is finally catching up, or maybe you are right in the midst of change and uncertainty. At MindFul Space we are here to help support you through all of life's changes. We can greatly improve the quality of our lives by how we approach, live through and integrate life changes. "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." Carl Jung

Decipher Counselling Art Therapy Studio offers creative, justice-oriented therapy for people dealing with experiences of invalidation, including any and all underrepresented communities. This may include processing trauma, navigating identities, life transitions, and power differences. We aim to create a space where people of all intersectionalities can feel like they belong. To feel like they can be themselves in their most unique ways. Where their stories will be heard and held. We work to decolonize therapy in our therapy practice and personally around our identities.
