Each of us has a Story worth knowing. Our life stories are full of triumphs and tragedies, and everything in between. Our stories are meant for great care, that is, we are meant to have compassionate witnesses at every moment of our joy, heartache, or shame throughout our lives. The presence of another kindly contending on our behalf changes us. Our own presence kindly contending for our own heart changes us. Kindness changes us.

Have you ever tried to explain your feelings, but ended up being misunderstood or brushed aside? Or maybe you’ve sought help in the past but have struggled to connect with someone who saw you as a list of problems rather than as a person. Whether you are a student, have a job, or are still trying to figure out where you are going, it is important to recognize your journey is unique and the challenges you face aren’t always simple.

Chris Pankewich
Registered Psychotherapist, RP(Q), MACP
Verified
The focus of my work with clients seeks to answer three fundamental questions: (a) What direction do I want or need to shift my life towards? (b) What actions can I start taking to make this a reality? (c) What has or is blocking me from achieving this? Exploring these questions helps us understand if we are living in line with our values, how we view or treat ourselves, how we treat others, career ambitions, and overall lifestyle desires. The process of connecting with the parts of ourselves that influence our feelings, desires and ambitions can be elusive, fascinating, and deeply rewarding work.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and those around you? Do you feel like there's more to life than what you're living? Busy schedules and daily routines make it difficult for us to get to know who we truly are and reconnect to the things that were once important. My work with clients often explores relationships, finding meaning and purpose, life transitions, femininity, overcoming anxiety, cultivating authentic self-expression, and developing intuition and confidence. I work with you to deepen your relationship with yourself and reconnect to what you desire most so you can reclaim your power and live a meaningful life.

Psychologist, PhD, CPsych

As a psychologist, I work with change. Change may involve shifts in awareness, attitude, behaviour, goals, acceptance, or coping strategies that will enhance your quality of life and well-being. Many obstacles can prevent us from living a satisfying life. These could be a history of trauma, invalidating relationships, habits that no longer serve us, or environments that may hinder our psychological growth. I can help you identify obstacles to your quality of life, develop strategies to tackle them, and set goals to increase and maintain your well-being.

You enjoy new challenges, exploring and finding your way in the world, maybe even pushing the boundaries, to explore and to expand your horizons. And yet, right now, you may feel overwhelmed and struggle to see your own worth. Perhaps you see the same patterns in your life happen over and over again. Though, you set out to establish new boundaries, before your know it, you find yourself feeling overextended. You may not know what it is, but something is weighing you down, something doesn’t feel quite right. The rest of your journey does not have to continue like this!

Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC

Our emotions and body sensations offer us important insights into what is working or not in our lives. Paying attention to our thought patterns and the messages we receive from our body/mind helps us to direct our lives to increasing happiness, calm, and fulfillment. It can be difficult to do this on our own, especially at times of feeling a loss of control or intense distress and confusion. A therapist can be a healing mirror and the relationship can provide a safe connection in order to explore life issues together.
