Pre-Licensed Professional, MC (c)

I am a Graduate Intern Therapist at Arbutus Counselling where I will continue to develop and expand my knowledge and skills to better serve the needs of counselling clients prior to registration with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors as a Registered Clinical Counsellor in late 2022. We have all had to endure struggles at some point – it’s the cost of admission to this thing called life. At the same time, I believe that we have innate resilience and strength to draw upon and a capacity to change and grow.

I believe that every client is innately aware where they need to go (in therapy) to heal themselves. My role is to use my skills to help them along in that process. I meet clients where they are at recognizing that may change from session to session. We start with their goal(s) for counselling and work from there. I don't "need" to know anything in particular before we start. I find that with a trusting relationship, a client will share all that is relevant in order to attain their goal(s).

Do you feel like you cannot express your true self in relationships? People disappointed you in the past and you are very careful in how you show up to others? Or maybe you would like to connect genuinely but anxiety is standing in your way? A very frustrating and not uncommon place to be. Where it is easy to lose hope and believe things are never going to change. But what if there was something you could do? I am a certified coach and registered counsellor and I help people who want to show up genuinely in their relationships.

Being At Choice Counsultants
Counsellor, MA, RCC

Having an addicted person in your life can feel like a nightmare and tear your family apart. In order for addiction to have a chance of healing, we must first address the dynamics of the addict's relationships with their loved ones. Many loved ones unwittingly enable the addiction to continue, sometimes because they want to avoid confrontation and conflict. As the enabling continues, the addiction continues as well-and becomes progressively worse. It is important to understand that enabling an addict is never a loving act-and only leads to more severe consequences as time goes on.

I want to hear about what is causing your distress and help you get some relief and strategies to manage.

Regina Banales-Lopez
Counsellor, RTC

I want to understand who you are and unpack the contents of your mind with you. When traumatic events or negative experiences aren’t processed, they can take shape in behaviour, habits, feelings, thoughts and relationship dynamics. I offer a therapeutic journey to disarm the loops in your mind and work towards loosening their grip in your life. Whether you're feeling anxious, jaded, overwhelmed, empty, frozen, or feel your experiences are embarrassing or shameful, I believe you are worthy and deserving of being met with acceptance, care and connection.

Counsellor, RCC, MSc

Modern life presents us with a wide variety of challenges that humans have never had to face before. In my experience, folks come to therapy often overwhelmed with the challenges they face in day to day life and often times feel weighed down by difficult experiences they've had in the past. I love working with individuals who are curious to discover new ways of understanding their past and who are motivated to rewrite their own narratives.

Willful Minds Counselling Services
Counsellor, MCP, RCC, CCC

Do you feel distressed but don't understand why? Have you tried different methods and it only helped a little but never get ahead? Have you ever wondered what the core issue is? Working with me might find you those answers. A lot of people ask who gets counselling, I believe that anyone who experiences stress could get a therapist; however, many have amazing family and friends that allow them to bounce ideas, inspire motivation, and provides insight so counselling really isn't needed. Most people wait till they are in crisis to get help which would mean a rough journey to baseline. Let's be preventative rather than reactionary.

Folks who feel that they oftentimes react out of proportion to the situation and experienced challenges to trust and build favourable relationships with others. Folks who want to gain some perspectives on their own strengths and resilience. My client demographic so far has only been with men or masculine identifying individuals.
