Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Langley, BC

My passion is supporting individuals who are neurodiverse, those with developmental disabilities, and their families and support networks in a counselling capacity. I have a special interest in working with those who feel burnt out and overwhelmed by life. Whether that is due to mental health, ADHD, or ASD, finding balance, identity, and understanding in their lives is such rewarding work. Outside of my area of interest, I love working with people from all walks of life. No matter your story, there is space for you.

We all deserve to live life that is fulfilling and meaningful to us. Our life experiences shape how we think and feel. When dealing with challenges we can feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or feel a loss of purpose or spiritual connection. We may feel we are in a crisis, feeling hopeless and alone. Counselling can help clients who wish to gain insight into their lives, relationships or jobs, who wish to make a change, or process past trauma. I have 5 years experience as a Registered Clinical Counsellor.

I believe that clients are the experts in the counselling space. Using a non-judgmental, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach, I work closely with those struggling with mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression. I also have experience working with those struggling with addiction and families in crisis. In addition, I have extensive experience working with adolescents, and have recently focused on men's mental health including anger management . CBT, Emotion Focused Therapy, DBT, and Attachment Informed modalities are my main interventions of choice. Get in touch for a free 15 minute consultation.

I am passionate in working with adolescents and adults through a variety of different issues, including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions, addiction, and psychosis. I am grounded in a culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed perspective and believe in each individual's innate desire to heal and move towards their life goals. I acknowledge the unique experiences that each person brings to the counselling process, and find it a privilege to be included in your journey.

My orientation to treatment is client centred. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is key for seeing change in psychotherapy and work to foster a collaborative alliance with my clients. I strive to help each client build skills, alter outdated and maladaptive thought and behaviour patterns, reduce suffering, practice acceptance and grow mindfully. I work with adults facing a range of psychological and life challenges including anxiety, depression, OCD, Bipolar disorder, psychosis, grief/loss, career changes, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Dr. Schulz's philosophy of counselling is strongly influenced by his Christian worldview and his motivation to help others. He draws primarily from Person-centered, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and existential therapeutic approaches. In his practice he works with youth and adults to treat depression, anxiety, past trauma, relationship conflict, career change, and other life transitions. An overarching theme of his practice is working alongside clients to help them gain a greater sense of meaning and purpose in their lives.

My experience as a Registered Social Worker over the past ten years includes working and supporting vulnerable populations. I have worked with women and children fleeing abuse; parents/caregivers of children with disabilities; youth and adults with mental health; immigrants and refugees. I provide support to those who experience and live with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationships and loss.

From the beginning, we are given a specific set of skills. Our environment and biology continue to shape us as we are faced with unique challenges. Throughout our development we learn that living in this world is no easy task. The skills that we have or acquired aren’t working the way we had hoped. It is in this moment that we can feel lost and alone. My hope is to create a space for everyone to explore these experiences and acquire new skills to help them face life’s challenges. It is through this that we build resilience and are able to reach our goals.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, burnt out, or you are seeking personal growth, together we can identify your barriers and create the change you desire. I am passionate about empowering you to live your most authentic life where your needs are met, you feel fulfilled, and allow yourself to create the ability to flourish in your life. While respecting that you are the expert of your own life, I will support you in your healing journey by providing you with the guidance and tools necessary in order to navigate through your challenges and work towards your individual goals.

Hi, I'm Lauren. I am a registered clinical counsellor with experience working with both youth and adults with a variety of different strengths and abilities. I work often with individuals facing anxiety, depression, body image dysmorphia, interpersonal conflict, and other related concerns. I am passionate about supporting others to build the skills necessary for the life they want. Perhaps you are facing a specific problem in your life; or, maybe you are feeling ready to work through something that has been weighing heavy for a while. If you are ready to be heard in a safe and non-judgmental space, I am here to listen.

Do you wish to experience more joy, more love and more beauty in your life, relationships and community? Counselling can be incredibly transformative in breaking painful and unhelpful patterns in our lives and relationships. Healing emotional pain, nervous system recovery and patterns of being that have become a block to who you wish to be is where I can assist you. I have witnessed many youth and adults experiencing despair and deep hopelessness transform with consistency and support. Each of us has the innate capacity to heal, cope differently and live more from our heart and our truth.

It can be challenging to find the right counsellor for you or your loved ones' needs. If you are experiencing difficulty and are looking for someone to speak to about anxiety and stress, mood changes, eating concerns, self-esteem and body image, substance use, work-life balance, or academic stress I would love to speak to you. As you know, daily life struggles can become overwhelming contributing to a variety of emotions such as feeling alone or a sense of loss of control. I would like to offer support during those challenging times. If you don't see one of your concerns listed above, please call, email, or follow the website link.

Hello, if you are seeking a like-minded therapist to help you to awaken to an elevated purpose and potential you are in the right place. I have been in practice as a therapist/counsellor working with children, youth and adults for 20 years years. My specialties include working with clients who experience anxiety, depression, low self-worth, eating disorders, trauma, emotional dysregulation, OCD, relational and parenting concerns and various other mental health issues. This is a space for you to be heard, to be seen and to be valued for who you are.

Seeking help is not always easy. Not knowing what to say, worrying about being a burden, fear of being judged or rejected…the list is endless. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help because we will have to put ourselves in a vulnerable place, where we surrender control. I believe vulnerability is the key to any close relationship. And here you are, bravely taking the first step towards the journey of healing and reconnection. Congratulations! Now that you have chosen to reflect on the past and move forward, I hope to have the honour of providing a safe and welcoming space for you to let the healing begin.

Let me help you learn useful coping strategies to better manage your stress, anxiety and trauma.

Psych. and Associates. I offer empirically supported treatments to address a wide range of mental health and behavioural struggles. I provide therapy with compassion and respect for the hardships that my clients are facing.

Mental health affects us all and in various ways. It can be hard to navigate and find new ways out of problems. If stress, anxiety, burnout or substance use is affecting your life, my counselling practice is centred on supporting adults navigate out of those challenges and move toward living life with less struggle. Through a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, we can navigate the emotions, thoughts, and any uncertainties together.

"Empathy and unconditional positive regard" (no judgement) is my motto.
