Therapists in Whitehorse, YT

Creating more space for wellness and healing in our lives can feel overwhelming, but I am here to support you on the journey to creating a life that fulfills you. Genuine, warm and safe relationships between client and counsellor are the foundation of effective counselling. This is why I prioritize collaborative relationships that recognize you as the expert on yourself, and focus on your goals and needs. My approach to counselling is holistic, person-centred and integrates cognitive behavioural, solution-focused, and attachment-informed approaches. I also provide EMDR. I strive to work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens.

We cannot always control what happens, but we do control our mindset and response. Grounded in existential philosophy and a holistic focus on wellness, my main intention is to provide you with a non-judgmental, consistent, strength-based approach. In couples counselling, we focus on your friendship, ability to love and connect, as well as manage conflict with mutual respect and communication skills.

I WELCOME ALL OF YOU who are ready to make deep and lasting changes in your life to find fulfillment, meaning, new skills and appreciation. I believe that each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. I also believe that the individual personal work we do directly impacts those in our life and our society at large. I know that we need to be connected to our families, neighbours, communities to find health. Similarly, we need to honour our land, our resources and all sentient beings. I look forward to meeting you in person or at a distance.

Adam has experience working with clients with depressive mood conditions, anxiety, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attachment, and eating disorders. As a born and raised Yukoner, He has solid supportive ties to his community’s health and wellness.

Taking a step towards meaningful growth and healing takes courage but can be worth it. You deserve to feel fulfilled, joyful, and like your best self. Together we can explore what you are experiencing and support you to shape meaningful change. I respect and welcome all parts of who you are. I believe in meeting people where they are at and supporting their personally identified goals.

My priority as a therapist is to create a non judgemental, client focused space for you to explore the many facets of yourself. Oftentimes during our upbringing we start to tuck away components of self in order to fit in until we come to a time where we feel fragmented. Therapy can be a wonderful space to allow for these pieces to come back together and to feel free to be the truest version of yourself. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, have gone through a recent loss or transitioning into a new chapter of life, I am here to walk beside you. I look forward to working with you.

I offer counselling to individuals and couples. My areas of focus and passion are relationships, intimacy and sexuality, and the transition to parenthood.

Currently offering online / video sessions to Yukon residents.

Do you miss the connection and friendship you once had with your partner? Are you tired of feeling anxious, angry or tired all the time? You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck because you think you’ve tried everything, but nothing sticks. Do the overwhelming feelings cause you to shut down because you don't know where to start? You want change, but bringing a therapist into the fold makes you uneasy as you may have learned that therapy lacks real connection. If REAL connection matters to you, I’m your human. I want to help you to achieve the life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible.

I come from a background in Creative Writing where I enjoyed exploring people and their stories. I see my transition into counselling as a continuation of this work; helping clients to explore their own stories and the stories we tell as a culture. I work from a generalist counselling perspective, meaning I do not have a specific focus in my work and aim to meet my clients where they're at. That said, I have a particular interest in helping individuals navigate relationships, sexuality, and life transitions.

I have extensive experience working with individuals with complex needs involving addictions, mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and who have exhibited personality features such as borderline, or antisocial behaviours. I have worked with individuals with impulse dyscontrol, and other symptoms of executive function disinhibition. I like to work with individuals from a holistic perspective utilizing systems theory analyses; somatosensory, individual, family, community, society, and culture. If your are looking to make long-lasting, positive changes to your way of being in the world I can help you get there...

I am an integrated therapist based in Whitehorse. Through my work with suicide education I've been fortunate to travel throughout Yukon Territory, and have provided services to nearly all of the communities. I have experience working with teenagers, adults, elders, families, and couples - all folks who are looking to improve their mental wellness and make positive changes. I want clients to have success in therapy and believe while people can be guided to new strategies and ways of approaching challenges, each person is ultimately an expert on what will help them succeed.

I have over 15 years of experience in the field of social work and over a decade of experience in community mental health and addictions treatment and private practice. I specialize in the treatment of shock and developmental trauma and have been trained in cognitive and somatically-oriented therapeutic modalities. I also work with individuals experiencing interpersonal challenges, grief, chronic pain, trauma, and life-stress. I operate out of Whitehorse and offer remote services in BC and Nunavut. I invite you to visit my website to find out more about how I work: www.bodymatterspsychotherapy.ca

I have experience and training working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), grief and loss, and a variety of other presenting session topics. As a generalist counsellor I have skills and abilities to work with whomever comes in the door.

My goal is to help you get your bearings. In order to figure out how to move forward, we have to consider the past so we can orient to the present. It's like using a compass! It's a great tool if you know where you currently are and how you got there. Figuring out how your experiences have affected your behavioural patterns allows you to grow and leave behind what no longer serves you. I believe that people have all the answers within them—it's just a matter of asking the right questions!

Specializing in addressing depression, anxiety, and relational stress, my counseling approach is uniquely tailored to you and your specific challenges. I provide a safe and empathetic environment where you can openly discuss your feelings, fears, and aspirations. Together, we'll delve deep into the root causes of your struggles, identifying both the barriers you face and the strengths you possess. Our collaboration aims to offer you not just relief from immediate distress but a clear, personalized roadmap to a life of genuine joy, peace, and personal growth. Embrace the journey towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.

I am experienced working from a humanistic therapeutic framework with numerous challenges people face today, including: Trauma (PTSD), Addiction, Anxiety, Relationships (Couples, Workplace, Family), Depression, Fear & Phobias, Eating Disorders, Personality Disorders, Spirituality & Meaning, ADHD, Self-Harm, Parenting, Strategic Life Planning, & Grief.

Hello ~ I'm currently working in Whitehorse and the surrounding communities. As a registered counsellor, I provide private & professional emotional wellness services for all ages, cultural backgrounds and individual challenges. Your overall mental wellness influences: how you think, how you feel, and how you behave in daily life. It also greatly impacts your ability to cope with stress, overcome personal challenges, build relationships as well as recover from life's setbacks and hardships.

Does life feel so demanding you can’t do it anymore? Do you struggle to say no, set boundaries, or have too few moments when you feel ‘ok?’ Has your substance use been getting out of hand? You may be doing your best to cope, but just coping is not enough.
