Self-Harming Therapists in Campbell River, BC

Hello, my name is Lindsey Morton. After working overseas for nearly a decade, I made the journey back to my hometown of Campbell River with the professional intention of supporting both youth and adults working toward mental wellbeing within the community. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and I am currently employed by school district 72 as a school counsellor. I am incredibly grateful to live in a beautiful costal community and honoured to have the opportunity to practice counselling on Vancouver Island.

I have worked with clients dealing with trauma, anxieties, depression, ADHD, autism, LGBTQIA+ issues, PTSD, spirituality, grief and loss, phobias, and relationship issues. I have worked with clients of many different spiritual beliefs and faiths, from Catholic to Hindu, pagan to atheist, and anything in-between, and I am an approved counsellor by the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA). I work with all my clients to create a sacred space that works for them, no matter what their needs are.

Kyla’s counselling approach with children, adolescents, and adults is energetic, innovative, and imaginative, grounded in mindfulness, somatic, and trauma-informed techniques. Also integrating aspects of cognitive behavioural and solution-focused therapies, Kyla’s approach allows her to work with clients on a deep, person-centred level to address challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships.

Through evidence-based therapeutic intervention I work to empower clients to live authentic and meaningful lives. I believe that a safe, non-judgemental, inclusive environment provides clients the opportunity to explore and address any mental health concern. Each client is unique, and therapy sessions are designed to be client-centered.

Accepting new clients. If you struggle with self-love and self-compassion, together we look inward, to see what holds you back from being happy and content. Emotions (guilt/shame, anger, depression, & anxiety) are telling you something needs attention. Rather than avoid the problem, we problem solve. I help clients identify goals to gain clarity. We work on becoming emotionally resilient using many therapies to grow, emerge stronger and more peaceful. My approach draws from CBT, DBT, trauma-informed, somatic, and mindfulness-based therapies. I work with individuals (children, youth, adults), couples, and families.

Janis Guthy enjoys working with individuals from all backgrounds. She is committed to quality care, evidence-based therapeutic practices in a collaborative effort to improve your emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Her aim is to help you develop your strengths and enable you to thrive.

I specialize in eating disorders, human performance, and health psychology. I have over 30 years of experience in exercise science, exercise and nutritional psychology, health promotion and coaching. I work with clients struggling with negative body image and take the "health at every size" approach to health counselling/coaching. I work with a wide variety of athletes and academics in performance/ test anxiety.

After 10 years of working with women and their families as a midwife, I am pleased to work with women and families in a counselling capacity. My practice is accessible to new mothers and mothers-to-be in clinic, on Skype and in clients homes. I offer individual, group and family counselling. After a practicum with CYMH I am passionate about working with children and often treat the family as an interconnected system.

Anxiety and depression are common issues in my practice and they can be the underlying condition in many situations. They can affect relationships, parenting, work performance, family dynamics to name a few. Therapy can assist with problem solving and gaining a better understanding of the behaviours that are causing difficulties in life. Some of my work involves life coaching and I am also a divorce coach. I offer expertise and support in the overwhelming process of separation and the difficulties involved in supporting children through divorce and separation.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person. Strength Counselling Services has licensed, experienced therapists who use evidence-based practices, prioritize client needs, and maintain ethical standards. We offer culturally sensitive, affordable services in a supportive environment. We offer a comprehensive goals assessment, regularly assess progress, and collaborate with other professionals. We provide transparency in our fees and for thirteen years now have held a positive reputation of trust, and client success. Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.

My approach to counselling is based on respect for you the client. I do my very best to ensure that you feel safe, in control of the process, heard, and understood. My job is to get to know your values and how you think, feel, and act, in order to support you to either strengthen or change, aspects of yourself and your life. We will collaborate to establish meaningful and achievable goals focused on creating the life you want.

Hello! I am currently accepting new clients at my location in Cumberland BC. I work with people ages 2 and up and specialize in Sandplay Therapy, which is a modality used with clients of any age, from children to adults. This can often be a more accessible approach as it is non-directive and non-verbal. Polyvagal theory informs all of my work, whether I use play or art therapy, CBT, Somatic Experiencing, or Mindfulness. I provide support to families, parents, teens, couples, and individuals.

I have a special focus on working with those with disordered eating, eating disorders and body image concerns. I support my clients in learning new ways to connect with their body, exploring body image, eating habits, and recovery. Additionally, I have worked with those experiencing depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder (BPD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), relationship concerns, and family breakdown.

I offer depth psychotherapy that honours healing, change, and the need for results to clients across Canada. I help my clients discover and confront inner truths that both drive their behaviour and hold the keys to their freedom.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a nursing background, I am honoured to hear your story. I offer an empathic client-centred approach to counselling to support you throughout your journey; together we will collaborate towards your goals of optimal wellbeing. You may contact me at your convenience for any further information.

Are you living in survival mode? Is your nervous system stuck in fight, flight or freeze? Are you facing overwhelming challenges where you no longer see clarity?  When we use our mind to override our body, we can only be productive until our body catches up. Humans are clever at masking symptoms, but over time, it leads to burn out, nervous system dysregulation, or serious illness. Creating curiosity around self discovery leads to a reflective state of mind where we see our life goals more clearly. True authenticity and life change begins as we develop a practice of listening to what our body is saying.

The teen years are a time of massive growth and development. There are so many physical, emotional & social changes at this time. Some teens struggle with overwhelming fears, confusion, anxiety, and/or depression. The stress and pressure of personal circumstances can feel like it is a lot to handle. As caring bystanders, we may witness a youth retreat into themselves and become difficult to reach. What is the answer? Talking with an experienced counsellor can make a difference.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults with a variety of mental health and substance use issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationships, addiction and self-esteem issues.

I work mostly with women, children and families so that they can move forward with their lives. Healing occurs when we address the whole person - mind, spirit, body and emotions - because these elements don't work in isolation. My graduate training focused on family systems work, and to that I have added numerous post-graduate trainings that enrich my practice, and thus my ability to help you. I have also worked extensively in the First Nations community for over 20 years in the Cowichan Valley and the North Island - I’m an approved FNHA counsellor.
