Therapists in V9W
Carla Petker
Psychologist, PhD, RPsych
Verified
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.

Vanessa Luis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, CCC
Verified
Curiosity about the human experience is what motivates my work as a therapist. I believe in change and growth, and that these things are a process throughout a person's life. I consider it a privilege to support and challenge my clients to explore what parts of them are ready for that change and growth, and the parts of them that are not quite there yet, in curious and compassionate way. I strive to create a bond with my clients that is based on non-judgment, acceptance, and safety.

Counsellor, MA, BEd, Jungian

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.

Sehleeah Schevers
Pre-Licensed Professional, BSc, MACP
Verified
*Accepting new clients for on-line sessions* Are you finding it hard to cope? Has life turned out different than what you planned? In my sessions we look inward, to see what is preventing you from being your truest self. Is there guilt, shame, anger? Is there depression and anxiety? Together we find the way for you to grow, to emerge stronger and more peaceful. When faced with adversity, we often avoid the problem in a myriad of ways including drinking, eating, obsessively exercising or other addictions. I help clients identify therapy goals, work on interpersonal and intrapersonal issues, and become emotionally resilient.
Judi McCheane
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, RSW, SEP
Verified
I work mostly with women, children and families so that they can move forward with their lives. Healing occurs when we address the whole person - mind, spirit, body and emotions - because these elements don't work in isolation. My graduate training focused on family systems work, and to that I have added numerous post-graduate trainings that enrich my practice, and thus my ability to help you. I have also worked extensively in the First Nations community for over 20 years in the Cowichan Valley and the North Island - I’m an approved FNHA counsellor.

Diane Brussell
Counsellor, MA, RCC

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.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and stuck, Erinn can help you begin the journey toward feeling greater capacity, peace, and aliveness again. Perhaps childhood experiences have left you with residual depression, anxiety, or recurring relationship patterns that you don’t know how to change. Or maybe you recently gave birth and you feel like you “should” be happy but you’re actually struggling to cope. Or perhaps you or your partner experienced a trauma and now you’re trying to navigate the impacts on your relationship. Or maybe you’re struggling with the effects of chronic stress due to living through a global pandemic.
