Hello, and welcome! My name is Anat and I am a registered social worker and a clinical counsellor.

Dealing with changes or transitions in our lives can be a painful process. You may feel overwhelmed with emotions and uncertainties about your future. You may feel like the world you used to know changed completely and it has been difficult to reconnect to who you are. You may feel like you need to reconnect and reframe your experiences and need a safe space to take care of your emotional health. I know that can be challenging to face your vulnerability while everything is changing in a way you cannot control. Allow me to support you in this transformative process.

We’re all born into systems and socially constructed narratives that impact us, and unravelling your story within those systems and narratives makes space to rewrite it. I want to empower you to tell your story, now and in the future, despite whatever boxes the world tries to put you in. By creating the building blocks of radical self-acceptance through self-reflection and self-discovery, we can explore alternative perspectives to constructing new meanings and possibilities. This process can help you expand your thinking, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and develop more flexible and adaptive ways of thinking and being.

Anxiety. Depression. Panic. Rage. Heartbreak. They make life feel chaotic, frightening, and lonely. Intense emotions can seem to take over our bodies completely. We might lunge into anger or spiral into self-doubt and not know how to get ourselves out. But it doesn't have to be that way! Here's how life could feel instead: like you have easy access to your kind, calm and rational thoughts; you have stable close relationships, and all the motivation you need to create the life you want.

Hello.Welcome to my profile. As a licensed Doctoral Psychologist and therapist over the last 30 years, both in upstate New York and British Columbia, I have had wide experience and training in treating many problems - in couples relationships, and in individuals. Couples have suffered with basic problems of communication, resolving conflict, emotionally falling away from each other, and more severe ones with affairs, addictions, violence and verbal abuse to name several. With individuals I have successfully treated depression, anxiety, addictions, and much more complex issues around trauma recovery, sexual abuse, and multiple personality.

What I hear most in my practise is that people want more meaning in their lives, in their work and in their loving relationships. According to current trends, anxiety and depression is on the rise. According to the Canadian Mood Disorders report 2008, 1 in 5 Canadians will have a mental illness over their lifetime. We may have become too focused on the results and lost sight of the process. The better we feel about ourselves because we are practising great lifestyle habits and relating meaningfully, soulfully, the more in the 'zone' we feel day to day.

Do you feel stuck in a rut? Stressed by outside commitments or internalized "should dos"? Do you feel unable to action the changes you want in your life? Taking a first step by engaging in counselling can help you not only adjust how you view yourself, others, and your current circumstances, but also - the results of therapy are usually improved functioning and a happier, healthier life. I work primarily with individuals, couples and families utilizing a collaborative, strengths-based approach.

I believe that you should do you. I also think that you should do the least anxious, least depressed, least traumatized and least isolated version of you that you can do. Reaching out for counselling can be really nerve-racking. It is also hard to admit that there is something in your life that might not be working quite right. My hopes are that you can make the changes that you want to make, and I'm hoping that I can support you to do it.

My clients want relief from emotional pain and guidance on their journey toward self-improvement. They may have tried self-help strategies, or perhaps even other therapists, but they’re still looking for something deeper and more effective. They want to work with someone who has life experience that truly understands them, someone who can see past surface-level issues and help uncover the deeper, root causes of their struggles. They are motivated by a desire to live authentically, experience healthier relationships, and break free from negative cycles that have held them back in the past.

My philosophy of practice is to work closely with you so that you accomplish your goals in therapy. Working with you, I provide a combination of narrative, cognitive behavioral therapy, and coaching in order to help you achieve the health and well being that you want to gain. I have experience with trauma victims with P.T.S.D. using E.M.D.R. as a method of healing. There are also times where I can work with you using Brief Solution Focused Therapy because there are situations that do not require long term therapy.
