Change can be daunting so you stay 'stuck' in situations that no longer serve you. Maybe life feels 'comfortable' but you feel unfulfilled. You wear a mask to hide the anxiety or unhappiness you feel. The emotional pain is blocking you from connecting with those closest to you. It may seem there is no hope, so you continue living an unsatisfied life. Maybe you have learned to get through difficult times alone, but are ready to further explore yourself and the relationships in your life. You want change, and to feel whole again. You want to connect with yourself, and feel confident in who you are.

I am an experienced Registered Psychologist offering counselling and psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. I help people working through challenges in their relationships, careers, and personal lives. Often people come to me for help with depression, anxiety, trauma, or health concerns. I take a practical and mindful approach to counselling, grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship, to help you accomplish your counselling goals in a timely and effective manner. I work with many first responders. www.drjeffmorley.ca www.911resilience.ca www.guardianpsychedelics.ca

My goal is to assist my clients in discovering the versions of themselves they aspire to become. In doing so, I work with my clients to understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours so that they can go forward and make changes that can improve their lives meaningfully and positively. My passion is to help my clients to feel supported, validated, and understood, with a more precise grasp of their challenges and everything that goes along. I prioritize the relationship between the therapist and the client and our teamwork when working with clients.

We believe that therapy is for everyone. With offices located in Surrey, Vancouver, and Chilliwack, our team consists of 20+ therapists who are uniquely skilled to help you heal and thrive. The research in counselling and therapy demonstrates that about 70% of what accounts for the outcome or change in therapy is based on the therapeutic relationship between your therapist and you. Therefore, it is so important to ensure the right fit; to make sure you feel understood and that you can trust your counsellor to be compassionate, non-judgemental, and professional.

Starting a counselling journey takes courage; I honour your decision to explore it. I take a collaborative and holistic approach to supporting mental, emotional, embodied, and spiritual healing, depending on a person’s unique needs, goals, and hopes. I love walking alongside clients as they grow into fuller, more authentic expressions of themselves and their relationships.

You're likely here searching for a therapist because you're struggling with something or someone. Perhaps anxiety or depression have become too much to manage on your own. Maybe a relationship has become the source of pain. You may be struggling against a part of yourself that has you thinking or acting in ways you'd like to modify. At Sojourn we believe everyone has the capacity for change and positive growth.

My approach to psychotherapy is to facilitate the much-needed relational healing space through connectedness and compassion coupled with a very committed journey to find possible remedies of pain and trauma. This is made possible through a unique personalized treatment protocol inspired by cognitive, psychodynamic, behavioural, somatic, relational and spiritual approaches. I make use of the approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Experiencing Techniques, Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programing, various trauma and PTSD treatment methods, attachment and relational approaches in treatment. Additional to my registration with the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and membership with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counselors, and an affiliate member with Canadian Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, open and non-judgmental space allowing you to share your story. Using a holistic and strengths based approach, I will walk alongside you through your highs and allows while supporting you in building your own toolkit. I have worked in mental health, substance use and crisis oriented field for 10 years supporting clients’ struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, addiction and life transitions.

Many of us can feel stuck, exhausted, lost, and much more as we encounter the pain and suffering that inevitably comes with being human. Over time, we may feel a greater sense of isolation and disconnection from ourselves and those around us. It is not my belief that we are meant to make sense of our pain alone. My hope is that counselling may be a space where all parts of you can feel safety, belonging, and acceptance. All of you is welcome here.

I work as an Integrative therapist using a wide range of approaches with client centred therapy as a base. I feel passionately that when you the client enter into a therapeutic relationship with me that you should feel safe and nurtured. I know how difficult it is to take that first step and I am here to help you to work through whatever issues are affecting your life and to enable you to regain your personal power. Most of us struggle with family of origin issues which if not dealt with can lead to depression, anxiety and other problems.

I specialize in assisting individuals, families, and couples with a range of mental health concerns and substance misuse issues. With a blend of evidence-based techniques, empathy, and genuine collaboration, I strive to empower each individual, family, and couple to overcome their challenges and to unlock the untapped potential within themselves. I wish to support clients to a sense of well-being, to cultivate healthier habits and coping mechanisms, and to build stronger, more fulfilling connections with themselves and their loved ones; to embrace a life marked by authenticity, fulfillment, and purpose.

We are a specialized team of mental health professionals providing high-quality counselling and trauma therapy to individuals and couples. We know that talk therapy is beneficial, but we realized that many of our clients’ problems require a deeper and more integrative approach. Stressful and traumatic experiences leave lasting impacts on peoples’ minds and their bodies, which can make them feel stuck in the same patterns. By integrating neurobiologically-based therapies such as EMDR, OEI and Somatic Experiencing into talk therapy (CBT, narrative), our team specializes in helping people break free from discouragement and overwhelm.

Currently accepting new clients! I have a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Simon Fraser University. I am a BCACC registered clinical counsellor with over two decades of experience working for the public school system. If you have been thinking about improving the way you feel and simply being happy, you should try counselling with me. I work with adults dealing with a variety of issues, including ADHD, Autism, attachment, trauma, relational abuse, codependency, inner critic, depression, anger, anxiety, loneliness, relationship issues, and negative self-concept. I am well-versed in supporting individuals, couples and families.

Feeling disconnected from yourself? Struggling to break free from patterns? Constantly overwhelmed? Managing emotions feels like a challenge? Seeking support and allowing space for self-reflection can be daunting. For that, I recognize the courage it has taken for you to get here and the willingness to be open. I believe understanding your human experience is the path towards healing. Therefore, wonder, acceptance, and compassion are core values of my approach. As we become more self-reflective towards our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves, we gain the ability to create lasting change in our lives.

Welcome! It takes courage and strength to reach out for support. Maybe you're here because you need someone to talk to you, or just need someone to listen. Or, maybe you're here because there are parts of you that are getting in the way of the life you envisioned for yourself. Trauma is very good at keeping you in the past, and can stop you from recognizing who you are right now and who you might want to become in the future. Together, let's re-create the story trauma constructed about you, and integrate a storyline that is meaningful and empowering.

Hi, I'm Christa and I'm glad you are here. Many people who seek counselling support are feeling exhausted by negative internal thoughts. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, body image issues or low self-esteem. I've been there too. I want you to know that there is hope and having someone to listen and support in the middle of our struggles can make all the difference.

You are capable of transformation, and I can help. I’m Adriana, a mental health professional with over 15 years of experience. I bring knowledge, compassion, and guidance to assist you on your journey of healing, growth, and wellbeing. I work with adolescents and adults who desire movement towards healing and inner peace. This can mean learning to work with the very stress, anxiety and pain that is causing you discomfort. I believe you already have the strength and wisdom to heal that which is causing you to suffer. I work collaboratively with you and at your own pace.

As a trained trauma therapist, my approach gets to the root of your long-standing problems. Experiences of stress and trauma leave lasting impacts on the brain, body and psyche, disrupting our mood, energy, and thinking patterns. These impacts can not be undone by “talk therapy” alone. In addition to being a talk therapist, I am trained in a variety of neurobiologically-based trauma processing therapies. These techniques can release the impacts of stress and trauma, freeing you to pursue the life you want. If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged and overwhelmed, consider whether stress and trauma have been holding you back.
