Therapists in Vernon, BC

Men’s mental health is in crisis – a silent crisis. The impact of this on men and those around them cannot be ignored. The world needs men to be able to carry the great weight and pressure of their many responsibilities, without suffering in silence. Typically, not having more than a handful of close friends, and generally used to powering through (or ignoring) their challenges, few men reach out for help. Stigma and shame often prevent men from talking with other men. Therefore preventing the exchange of ideas, solutions, or the benefits that come from deep relationships.

Currently Accepting New Clients. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering counselling services to adult clients who are struggling with mental health issues (e.g. depression, anxiety, etc.) as well as clients who have experienced trauma. I have extensive experience working with client's diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and survivors of narcissistic abuse. I work with client's in individual, group, family/couple's sessions. My approach to counselling is client-centered and eclectic, where the client and I work together collaboratively in choosing which therapeutic approach is best suited for their needs.

Significant life events and transitions can throw anyone off their "best self." Our work together will help you regain a sense of balance and focus, identity, and belonging. I believe individuals are experts on themselves, and I walk beside my clients offering insight and resources that help them move toward the life they want to live. "True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.”-Brene Brown

I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Clinical Social Work degree from UBC. After graduating with Honours from the UBCO Bachelor of Social Work program, I worked in the field of social work and counselling for over 23 years in BC and Nunavut. I've always had a natural interest in people's stories and understanding humanity. I have formal training in Mindfulness & Meditation, Motivation Interviewing, Trauma Informed Practice, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, EMDR, and Research & Evidence Based Practice.

I am passionate about helping people of all ages develop the resources they need to live a happy, healthy and full life. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients and meeting people where they are at. I work with children/youth and adults who have experienced grief and loss, have diagnosed (or not) ADHD, ASD, anxiety, life transition challenges, executive function challenges and also with those who just need a little guidance through these challenging times. Training in CBT, DBT, Grief and Loss.

If you struggle with anxiety, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, unhelpful thinking, setting boundaries and are looking for meaning in life I can help. I have been a registered social worker since 2005 and have been counselling folks with moderate to severe mental health as well as substance use since 2017. I work with people where they are at and help to cope with both what is happening in their life now and look at how their history may still have an impact on how they function today. I work with adults and youth both on line and in person.

Do you feel disconnected, lost, or without a sense of direction in life? Does it feel like stress and anxiety consumes your mental/emotional energy leaving you drained? Maybe at one point, you had a clear sense of who you were and what you wanted out of life but that seems far away now, or maybe motivation and energy has never come naturally to you. If this is something you can relate to, a supportive counselling journey can help you transition from just getting through each day to living life with a sense of purpose and goals.

Hello! I’m Felicia, and I believe that people are astonishing, resilient beings who have the power to heal, grow, and reach fulfillment in life. Life stressors and negative past experiences can lead us to experience inner turmoil and cause us to question our decisions, feel adrift, and lose hope. It can be exhausting and overwhelming to navigate life while holding these experiences. I am passionate about helping those experiencing anxiety, depression and other challenges to improve life balance.

I have been helping children, youth, adults and families in the Thompson-Okanagan region for over 8 years. I have worked with many vulnerable populations including people experiencing homelessness, concurrent mental health disorders, active addiction, job loss, intimate partner violence, and child abuse. My approach to counselling is always compassionate, non-judgemental, collaborative, and anti-oppressive. During our time together, I will pull from various counselling modalities including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solutions-based therapy and mindfulness-based therapy, depending on what works best for you.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) I offer counselling to adults, youth and families with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and relationship issues. Another area of interest is working alongside parents and caregivers as they support their child or youth struggling with mental health and/or behavioural challenges, such as conflict in the home, difficulty managing emotions and school refusal.

Having authentic connections can impact our ability to fully engage ourselves in the work needed to create change. I have found that sometimes the most profound, transformative healing takes place within the simplicity & safety of a supportive client-therapist relationship. Authenticity, trust & respect are the guiding principles of my trauma-informed, spiritually sensitive and culturally safe practice. Rooted in positive psychology and mindfulness approaches, my counselling sessions integrate several evidence-based therapies including EMDR for trauma, DBT and CBT for anxiety, narrative & rational emotive informed therapies.
