ADHD Therapists in Duncan, BC

I have been a counsellor for over 15 years and have a lot of experience supporting individuals with a variety of challenges. I work from a person centred approach, meaning, we talk about what you want to talk about for a brief or long period of time. I work with individuals, couples or family groupings (eg. siblings, parents and children). I work with anyone from age 7 and up.

Have you spent your entire life trying to get over your childhood? Do you deal with crippling anxiety, PTSD, crushing depression, severe sleep problems, or struggle with ADHD? My professional area of interest, and my expertise, is in helping people deal with the aftermath of trauma. I offer neurofeedback in-office. Neurofeedback reduces or eliminates symptoms that block your ability to live life to the fullest. Severe trauma--residential school survivors and their families, war veterans, those with histories of childhood abuse--may need two to three 20-session blocks.

I love working with clients who are ready to change, even if they are not sure what they want to change yet. I enjoy helping people define what a good, or better life would look like for them, and exploring - and, conquering - blocks to achieving this. Sometimes, this involves going backwards, and exploring past patterns/systems. Other times, it's about moving forward. We define this, together. I welcome all to work with me. As a mixed race (Jamaican/German), BIPOC queer, and non-binary therapist, I love serving members of my community. I enjoy helping people overcome blocks to creativity & business. I offer somatic therapy

Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions, unwanted thoughts, challenging relationships, codependency, ADHD, symptoms of trauma, unhelpful habits or addiction? You are not alone, anyone can benefit from counselling at some point in their lives; we all need help from time to time. Depression and anxiety are some of the most uncomfortable emotions we can feel and can take away our motivation and joy in life. If you are feeling stuck in life, I can help by listening to your concerns and providing the support you need.

Currently accepting new clients. Welcome and thank you for your time. We are bound to face challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, uneasy, or lost. Meaning, whether we like it not, change is inevitable and how we navigate those changes can be difficult. Or sometimes, different feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviours can present themselves without knowing how to fully understand them.

I work with adults and couples who are struggling with trauma, grief, relationship challenges, ADHD symptoms, life transitions, and making positive lifestyle changes. I also work with specific populations such as health care providers and first responders providing support for challenges such as "burnout" and PTSD symptoms.

I am a certified IFS therapist and have been educated via the IFS Institute. I use Internal Family Systems therapy combined with Polyvagal theory and somatic work. Creating a strong and non-dogmatic container together is the cornerstone of my practice. I am especially skilled at attuning, and providing company in places that you may have previously felt alone. We will work towards helping parts of you that may be stuck in fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or collapse. Many of my clients are people in their 20s and 30s exploring the transitions and challenges of adulthood while reckoning with Family of Origin trauma.

My clients want to feel more comfortable in their own skin. Something has shaken their ability to connect to themselves, and we work together in a strengths-based way to allow them to trust their own judgement, and find ways to feel comfort in their lives. This might look like wanting to decrease anxiety, work with trauma triggers, or increase emotional regulation strategies to give them more control over their experience in life.

Understanding the need for change is a big first step. Then getting the energy and nerve to find a therapist and make that first appointment can seem insurmountable. Congratulations on making it this far! Issues with emotional regulation, interpersonal communication/skills, and problematic substance use can derail our best attempts at a satisfying life. Using an individualized and integrated approach of DBT and Talk Therapy with the cheer of Solution Focused, we can work together to understand how your biology, environment and psychology can be readapted to help reach your goals. There will be infographics and worksheets! (Yay?)

Are you feeling overcome with stress, anxiety and depressive feelings? Do you find yourself suffering from negative self-talk that contributes to a lack of self-esteem and confidence? Are you lonely, even with people all around you? Do you long to connect with meaningful relationships? Do you find yourself looking for escapes with addictive processes? If this sounds like you, I would love to help you connect to your authentic self by overcoming the negative lens that has been built throughout your life by what others have said, feelings of disapproval, traumatic experiences, societal and cultural conditioning.

Accepting new clients for virtual talk-therapy or art-therapy sessions, offering a sliding scale of $85 - $125 per session. I want to help my clients achieve positive changes in their lives and regain a sense of hope and direction. I have over 16 years experience in special education and am drawn to working with clients who are neurodiverse. I have additional training in therapeutic and visual arts. I welcome clients of all ages, abilities, identities, and backgrounds.

My passion is to work with children and families to support them in having a better connection with each other and the environment they live in. I provide a fun, safe place for children to learn about their feelings, how their bodies work and how they can get the support they need. This can look like learning strategies they can use on their own, or with their parents support and having the language to express what they are feeling. Parenting is the most amazing and rewarding experience, yet it can also the most challenging. I provide parents with tools to be present, calm and understanding of what their child may need.

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.

Welcome! First, I'd like to commend you on taking the first step toward finding a new counsellor - I know the experience can be overwhelming. If you are feeling lost and alone, I am here to help. You may be struggling to connect in your relationships, feeling disconnected from everything around you, grappling with intense emotions, looking to process difficult experiences, or hoping to learn more coping skills. Whatever you may be working on, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space grounded in authenticity, trust, and respect. It would be an honour to walk alongside you on your journey.

When life's stressors weigh too heavily, our ability to cope effectively can be impacted. Having a confidential and compassionate place to explore one's experience can support a return to confidence and engagement with life. Looking for improved coping? Yearning to feel a sense of okay-ness and well being? Wanting to experience greater calm and contentment?

My goal as a counsellor is to help clients see themselves clearly and to understand that all of the answers they seek are already within them. I approach counselling from a holistic perspective with a focus on radical acceptance of a whole person and the stories and life experiences they bring with them. Through creating a safe, welcoming environment for individuals to “be”, I focus on establishing a solid foundation for connection to build and healing to begin. I am an Intern Counsellor with Moxie Health and Wellness, while simultaneously working to complete a Masters in Counselling Psychology with Yorkville University.

I offer holistic, trauma informed, person-centered counselling services to children, youth, young adults, adults, parents and expectant parents (pregnancy, postpartum). My approach considers the essential role of the nervous system and is grounded in attachment theory, neuroscience, mindfulness, narrative therapy, emotion focused therapy, CBT, DBT, expressive arts and play therapy. I have over 20 years experience working with individuals and families in community based child and family services programs and 12 years as a counsellor, where I have worked for Child and Youth Mental Health and in private practice.

Feeling overwhelmed by life and dealing with anxiety and stress? I inspire clients to find solutions and resources within themselves. Grieving is getting in the way of your daily functioning and you don't see a way out. The thoughts in your head seem to rule, and you feel like walking around in circles and not getting any better. Conflict arises and solutions are not easy to find.

Welcome! As we walk through life there can be challenging experiences, whether expected or unexpected that can be difficult for us to process and manage. This can make us feel isolated but I want you to know that you're not alone. Together through counselling, we can create a safe space for you to navigate feelings and find a path towards your goals.

We all go through different problems, experience different life stressors or trauma, and at times everyone needs someone to just listen. Dakova Health has trained and experienced psychologists and counsellors that specialize in different areas of practice to meet your specific needs.

Thank you for stopping by. I am currently accepting new clients. I work from where the client is at - essentially you are in the driver's seat of where you want your counselling sessions to go. I have extreme empathy for people's situations and issues they find themselves in. Who hasn't struggled to find ways to deal with things that life throws out at you? I know you are doing the best you can at this moment in time.

Human beings are complicated-so often we attempt to reach out to others using words to express our thoughts, our emotions, and our behaviours. With children/youth, we see additional communication barriers because of fewer words and limited life experiences. Being part of a family system should bring safety and emotional support but sometimes this is not possible without help. My work is to enable us to become partners in the process of change- discovering strengths, new awareness and building on this. Imagine my holding up a mirror for you, so that with each session, you are able to discover and appreciate more of who you truly are.

I understand clients have challenges that they would like support with navigating through. They need a counsellor who is non-judgmental, compassionate, and safe. Typically, client's goals revolve around achieving more self-awareness, skills, and abilities to help themselves live a meaningful life. I want to facilitate their passion about growth and creating lifestyles that support their values and goals. I support neurodiverse clients through affirming care, utilize strengths to help with growing edges, and understand that many underlying challenges are the result of societal expectations.
