Therapists in V9W

Hello, my name is Lindsey Morton. After working overseas for nearly a decade, I made the journey back to my hometown of Campbell River with the professional intention of supporting both youth and adults working toward mental wellbeing within the community. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and I am currently employed by school district 72 as a school counsellor. I am incredibly grateful to live in a beautiful costal community and honoured to have the opportunity to practice counselling on Vancouver Island.

Through evidence-based therapeutic intervention I work to empower clients to live authentic and meaningful lives. I believe that a safe, non-judgemental, inclusive environment provides clients the opportunity to explore and address any mental health concern. Each client is unique, and therapy sessions are designed to be client-centered.

I specialize in working with families experiencing grief, trauma and general mental health issues. The goal of counselling would be to provide a safe place where individuals can explore barriers to personal growth.

Thanks for looking to me as your prospective psychotherapist. I wish it were otherwise, but suffering is intrinsic to life. However, adversity can deepen our resolve to live more consciously. What unexamined core beliefs have you living below your potential? Together, we'll make sense of 'protective' defenses that are sabotaging your deepest aspirations. We'll develop strategies and insights against overwhelm and discouragement. Instead of relying upon outer authority, we will access your innate wisdom. I'll support you in taking decisive action to live your singular life with greater courage, purpose and meaning.

Many of the clients I work with are feeling "stuck" and are looking for support to move towards their goals. Feeling stuck often coincides with feelings of depression and anxiety. My clients and I work together to develop healthy coping strategies and to achieve satisfaction in their daily lives. My therapeutic work is grounded in humanistic and constructivist theories, meaning I believe the relationship between the client and the therapist is essential for fostering change and growth. I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Psychologists of BC and have over 15 years of training and experience in psychotherapy.

Creating healthy relationships for women, men and couples. Alleviating anxiety, easing trauma responses, eliminating addiction, increasing assertiveness and strengthening self worth. Through evidence-based therapeutic approaches I work to empower clients to live authentic and meaningful lives. Each client is unique, and therapy sessions are designed to be client-centered primarily focused on the comfort and growth of each individual.

Rod Chant is a family therapist experienced in working with couples, families and individuals. His approach includes recognizing unhealthy patterns of behaviour that can keep individuals and couples stuck, frustrated, sad and lonely. His expertise includes helping with managing such issues as anger, depression, anxiety, victimization, co-dependency and addiction, giving the support needed, and providing concrete solutions and tools that lead to more fulfilling life circumstances and relationships.

Curiosity about the human experience is what motivates my work as a therapist, and I see healing as a creative and nonlinear process that happens through deepening one's awareness of their lived experience. No matter what you've been through or are actively going through, we can make space together to slow down, connect, process, and build self-compassion and curiosity. My hope is that you can cultivate meaning and grow stronger in your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

Sometimes we don’t feel like ourselves. We may feel like we are out of sorts, overwhelmed, down, fatigued, unmotivated or just not enjoying life anymore. Our world unexpectedly and drastically changed 3 years ago. For many of us, it shook our sense of safety, our sense of belonging and how we see our world. The silver lining is that it has given us an opportunity to pause and reevaluate our lives. For many, it’s a time of rediscovering who we are and what matters most. When going through such rich but intense personal growth, it’s nice to have someone to help us make meaning of where we are going and what we are going through.

Based in Campbell River I provide psychotherapy and counselling to Campbell River, the North Island and the Comox Valley. Island Psych Support provides a safe place for you to work with a caring, supportive registered clinical counsellor, addressing anything from adjusting to life changes to pervasive internal conflict. Whatever the issue, it is my aim to work in partnership with you to help you gain insight into your difficulties, foster positive change and develop greater confidence to meet future challenges and to live a rich and meaningful life.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Specializing in Couples, Addiction, Anxiety & Depression. I bring to my practice a welcoming and friendly personal style that puts clients at ease allowing them to communicate their needs and goals within a safe non-judgmental atmosphere. I worked in many clinical health care settings before venturing into private practice, which has brought into my work a well- breadth of clinical experience, including a wide array of therapeutic approaches, that I have successfully integrated while working with with hundreds of clients over the past 26 plus years.

Do you want change in your life that invites balance, calm, health and well-being? Are you seeking support with self-esteem, relationships, anxiety, trauma, grief, ageing, career burnout or stress management? My approach to therapy is to provide a caring, supportive experience for individuals as they explore and build pathways to achieve healing and meaning, that also builds upon personal strengths, while honoring inner wisdom, intuition and voice.

Accepting new clients February 2023. As life takes its many unexpected turns, we are challenged to find new ways to create joy and peace. Together we look inward, to see what is preventing you from being your truest self. Is there guilt, shame, anger? Is there depression and anxiety? My approach is eclectic. We will use many tools to grow, to emerge stronger and more peaceful. When faced with adversity, we often avoid the problem in numerous ways including drinking, eating, obsessively exercising or other addictions. I help clients identify therapy goals, work on their challenges and issues, and become emotionally resilient.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, grief-stricken, suicidal or alone? Are you struggling with a traumatic incident or relationship?

Don't give up! The effective techniques I use, could be the solution you seek to make lasting changes within yourself and how you feel in your relationships.

We cannot change the events or situations of our past, but we can absolutely be free from being chronically impacted, and compacted by our history. You are entitled to all of your feelings and they are an integral part of healing and living a healthy life. If you are ready to move what you are holding to a new place, I am here to support that process. You can find your voice, unpack your story, be seen and heard, I bring tools and support to make the changes you would like to make, so that you can embrace your life with love and enthusiasm. In my mind, everyone who survived their story and makes it to counselling is a superhero.
