Currently Accepting New Clients. Specializing in Couples, Addiction and Anxiety. 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.

I help clients improve their health and wellness by managing their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I provide evidenced-based treatment in a compassionate, confidential, and authentic manner. I work with people to identify their core issues, develop new ways of thinking, and create manageable steps for change. I have worked in a variety of settings since 2000 including hospital outpatient settings for adolescents, community mental health clinics for adults, and private practice.

Whether it is burnout, anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, loss, or relationship conflict; regardless of the source of stress, one thing is certain: it is overwhelming your capacity to cope. Loneliness, social isolation, social injuries and injustices can also contribute to the suffering. Despite the overarching influence the problems are having on your life, there is a wise, compassionate presence in you right now trying to reach out for support.

A positive connection between the client and counsellor is imperative to the therapeutic process. My professional values and clinical approach provide a strong foundation built on collaboration, warmth, and empathy. My authenticity and compassion combine to create a trusting and safe counselling environment to support you as you discover coping, clarity, and healing. My approach to therapy is individualized to your unique circumstances and together we will collaborate to find a direction that suits your needs.

Are you rolling along in life? Something missing deep down, a feeling or sense of something that's not quite right? A feeling you can't explain or understand. After a few attempts to change how you feel, you repeat the same patterns. Do you feel like you put on a different mask every day to get through life? Does this sound like how you are living? Are you ready to take off all the masks, be authentically you and live your authentic life ? Together through this process we will unravel the challenges, not just live your life, but thrive!

I believe that all forms of therapy have elements in common, and they all should work to foster self-compassion and self-understanding. I hope that my gentle and compassionate style will help to support my clients to explore their emotions, thoughts and automatic reactions in order to identify opportunities for change.

Hello! I'm Jennifer (she/her). I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, a mom, and a school counsellor. I am caring, intuitive, empathic, and passionate about supporting clients through their healing journeys and personal growth. I recognize the importance of connection, safety and trust within the therapeutic relationship and hold a space of warmth, openness, respect, non-judgment, and acceptance.

My name is Veronica and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. I hold a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology (MCP). I work under the supervision of Dr. Carolin Klein. In the past, I have worked directly with individuals experiencing a range of diverse issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and sexuality-based issues. Most commonly, I witnessed many of those individuals feeling pain and suffering alone. Intimacy and sexuality can be difficult to discuss and can impact your mental health and well-being.

As a therapist I feel honoured to support others to grow and connect to their truest selves. I work with adults and youth 16+ experiencing challenges including: anxiety, depression, low self esteem, gender, sexuality and queer issues, single event and childhood trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative, honest and empathic. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important determinant of success in therapy, and urge therapy-seekers to take time choosing a practitioner that they feel safe and seen by. My practice is informed by my feminist, anti-oppressive values, and lived experiences as a queer woman.

I acknowledge and admire the courage it takes to seek out a counsellor to work through life's challenges. I strive to create a strong, client centered connection, based on openness, honesty, daring and respect. My counselling style is collaborative, and focuses on increasing self-awareness, highlighting personal strengths, honouring one's own insights, and removing the obstacles standing in the way of growth and development. My experience as a counsellor has taught me that in the midst of personal dissatisfaction, individuals often engage in counter-productive, even destructive thoughts and behaviors.

I know you already have your own resources and skills to deal with your struggles. My skills and experiences are simply to help you find these resources within you. A person comes to me because they are stuck and lost in stressful worries or getting angry too quickly or frustrated and powerless in conflicts with other. Our work together is for you to find your natural instinct and insights to develop the clarity to move forward. The skills I use to help you are in grounded in Somatic Experiencing, an understanding of the dynamic of your nervous systems and Focusing, a therapy skill to open your clarity and the way to go forward.

In therapy, you are in control of what is talked about. You have choice, autonomy and you know yourself best. The therapists role is to seek to understand the client on a deeper level, and to hold space for any and all feelings that might arise. The frameworks I draw from are trauma-informed, and are designed to support individuals who have experienced significant pain and suffering. While understanding theoretical models is important, counselling is rooted in the strength of relationship that is created between us.
