Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists in V1T

Counselling therapy provides the opportunity to discuss, explore, and treat issues that are impacting your health and wellness. It has benefits such as reduction in distress, improved social relationships, resolution of specific problems, and clarity in values and goals. Wellness, personal growth, and freedom from maladaptive patterns are areas that can be addressed in session.

Children are one third of our population and all of our future. I specialize in children, teens and families. I believe that parents do the best they can with the tools they have been given - tools that can be learned and expanded through counselling. I graduated with my Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University, and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors I work primarily with individual children (6-12), individual teens (ages 13+) and parents.

Hi, My name is Andie Mckillop and I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor. I have worked in the Human Services and Crisis Intervention field for the last 16 years, providing support to children, teens and adults to address mental health, addictions and domestic abuse concerns. Reaching out for support during difficult times can create feelings of uncertainty or fear. At Lotus Counselling, I strive to provide a warm, accepting and non - judgemental environment while meeting the very unique challenges faced by each individual.

I believe that each of us (from children, preteens, teenagers, young adults, adults, parents, and up) has within us the ability to learn to deal with life’s stressors and manage the way we deal with the trials and tribulations that life brings our way. As a mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and co-worker, I bring to my practice a blend of lived mental health/life experience, education and a holistic approach while maintaining the philosophy that we’re all capable humans and don’t have to go through difficult times alone.
