"We do men and women anger management groups every 6 weeks. My clients are people who want to learn more about how to deal with difficult emotions and situations. I also work with couples that want to learn the benefits from vulnerability and create a deeper, most intimate connection. My clients are those who want to meet the difficulties and challenges that life presents and want to emerge from conflict feeling proud of their respectful choices and at peace, not ashamed of what they did or resentful of what they have permitted."

"Hi there! My name is Jess and I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in good standing with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology (MCP) from Adler University and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) from Simon Fraser University. Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life, through different transitions, traumas, and transformations. My therapeutic experiences have taught me that each of us has a unique story to tell, and that this story is often shaped by our relationships to others, the world, and ourselves. "

"The poet, Mark Doty, writes: "What did you think, that joy was some slight thing?" The common view of therapy is that it's a place to unload & unpack the hardships & woes that burden you. Many of us are accustomed to thinking that joy is 'some slight thing', that our shadows are far more complex, dynamic & compelling. Contrary to this, my experiences as a therapist reveal to me how people's resilience, hopes & dreams are far more sophisticated & worthy of examination than the tricks & underbellies of their so-called demons. I am passionate about helping people reclaim joy & vitality; to find possibilities where they only see walls."

"Life can be challenging and often we go through experiences, both internal and external, that leave us struggling and feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and alone. As a therapist, I hope to create a place for you to feel welcomed, accepted, and understood so that together we can take on some of the challenges you might be wrestling with. My aim is for you to find hope, healing, and transformation through our work together so that you may rediscover joy and no longer have to face these challenges alone."

"Are you feeling stuck and not sure of where you're going or what's holding you back in life? Feeling lonely, anxious or depressed? Tired of the same and wanting to move forward with something new in life? We often find ourselves repeating patterns of behavior or taking on relationships that prevent us from taking the next step in our lives; however, with support and guidance, you are capable of making sustainable changes that will open you up to the fulfilling experiences and relationships you desire."

"Having a family member struggling with mental health issue has first inspired me to go into counselling. I have also been through counselling at different points in my life, which helps me gain a better understanding of the counselling process and its benefits as a client."

"Hi I’m Laurie, and I understand how lonely it can be to feel that there are things you can’t talk about with anyone in your life. I have experience working with folks who have dual diagnoses of mental health and substance use, folks questioning sexuality and gender identity, divorce, fertility issues, people working in the sex economy, stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and more. I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, a diploma in Addictions Medicine, am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC, and am a Certified Yoga Instructor. I also provide clinical supervision to other mental health professionals."

"Seeking out support is a courageous act. If you are experiencing a difficult challenge in your life, I would like to remind you that there is a path forward. As a counsellor, I am open minded, compassionate, honest, and focused on helping you overcome the obstacles that are interfering with your potential. I believe that every person has the ability to overcome, heal, and creatively shape their life. "

"Everyone deserves to live fulfilling lives but sometimes we may need a little help along the way. I support clients in addressing their well-being; empowering them to discover and develop awareness and make sustainable change. One of my strengths as a counsellor is creating strong connections with my clients. You will find a warm, safe and sometimes humorous, therapeutic space from which to identify, work through and process the challenges you may be facing. "

"Do you wish you could leave the past in the past? Some days you feel numb. You know you over react sometimes, but don't know why? You, avoid certain places, to prevent feeling distress. You have recurring dreams, nightmares with the same themes that represent something terrible you experienced. You wish you could sleep again. You may have experienced sexual assault, abuse, car accident, ongoing childhood trauma, or have experienced operational stress injuries as a first responder or health care professional. I work with youth, adults, couples and families."

"I have twenty four years experience supporting and providing psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and groups affected by trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, addictions, attachment / relationship difficulties, and personality style issues. I use a multimodal approach according to clients' needs, goals and preferences. The therapeutic modalities I practice include EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Therapeutic Enactment, expressive Arts, Narrative Therapy, Adlerian Psychology, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Energy Psychology."

"Do you feel hooked by painful thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that pull you away from the person you want to be? Work with me to explore how to live life with meaning, to move on from the past and build skills to cope with today."

"Are you going through break up? Separation? Divorce? Or perhaps you are not sure if you should stay or leave the relationship you are in? Relationship break down can bring turmoil and chaos to our whole lives, leaving us feeling disoriented, heartbroken, and shocked. We are quite often unprepared for these painful events and have no idea how to navigate these difficult emotions. It can feel like the whole world is spinning underneath your feet. Relationship Counselling is a place where you can catch your breath and begin to make sense of it all is so you can feel the ground under your feet once again. "

"You’ve taken a huge step seeking out a therapist! One step of many and more to come. Let me guide you the rest of the way...I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, loneliness, substance use, trauma, emotional eating & self-esteem challenges. "

"Welcome! My name is Clem and I am originally from Toronto, but have called BC home since 1998. My journey in the healing professions began 20 years ago in Victoria, BC, where I studied Shiatsu and other Eastern healing traditions. Since then, I have developed a personal therapeutic style that incorporates social justice, compassion, and a holistic view of the individual. I know that choosing a counsellor can be a daunting experience; it requires a commitment of energy, resources, and a great deal of courage. I have the deepest admiration and respect for anyone who is willing to ask for help. "
