Sex Therapists in Langley, BC

Living in and relating to our bodies in a healthy, comfortable way can be especially difficult in this day and age, given the countless messages and pressures we experience. How we feel living in our body may effect a wide range of areas in our life, including mood, self-esteem, behaviours, and relationships with others. My approach to counselling focuses on helping my clients understand and improve the way they relate to their emotions, to their thoughts, to their body, to their self, and to others.

Hello! I’m Amber and I am a trauma-informed, strengths-based, Registered Clinical Counsellor who uses a relational-attachment-based approach in my work with individuals and couples coping with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, relationship, sexuality and communication/boundary challenges. I have been working in the field of counselling and mental health for 11 years and in private practice since 2014. I offer a free 15-minute confidential consultation via phone to determine whether my services and approach are a good fit for you. Feel free to reach out via phone or email anytime.

Access your true, authentic-self, and embrace your inner strengths. While being present and empathetic, I strive to provide a nurturing safe haven and a strong foundation for purposeful insight and exploration. Through self-compassion and genuine curiosity, we can work together to understand your life experiences so you may approach challenges with greater confidence. By integrating a trauma-informed approach, we can work on expanding your resilience by building a deeper connection with your emotions and body.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Counselling Art Therapist. I am CVAP and FNHA qualified. I believe that everyone should have access to holistic equity-based counselling. As such, I am passionate about creating a safe, respectful, and validating space for you to explore your mental health and lived experiences through traditional talk therapy with the option of art and the art making process. Sometimes words do not get our important thoughts and feelings quite right, and art can be a great way to explore what lies within. No art experience needed!

Carlene is a Registered Psychiatric Nurse, Somatic Practitioner and certified Intuitive Eating counselor. Her work often centres those whose relationship with food, sexuality, their body, and mental health is influenced by their current or past spiritual beliefs, religious trauma and/or complex and developmental trauma.

My ideal clients are: 1) people in bigger/fat bodies who are breaking up with diet culture, 2) couples seeking relationship support, and 3) counsellors & therapists. Many of my clients are looking for ways to come home to their body, are struggling with eating disorders, or want to examine their relationship to boundaries & pleasure. Clients often reach out because I practice from a Health at Every Size(R)/anti-diet framework. Couples seek me out because I offer a gentle, playful, skilled container for strengthening and/or repairing their relationship. Therapists appreciate my experience & ability to hold nuance.

Do you feel stuck in which direction to take in life? As if you're lost in a forest. Confused about what to do or where to go to find relief. Maybe you've felt like something in your life has been off, and you want to seek clarity to gain insight into some of your life experiences. The unsettling question, which seems easier at times to tuck away for later, tugs at your heart and mind, "What's happening to me?" Wow, the fact that you are allowing space for these unsettling wonderments takes courage.

Have you felt as if life runs on repeat? You are trying and doing your best, but it feels as if nothing is changing or working. Your emotional battery is running low, and things you once found joy in now feel distant. You hear all about the “should,” the “could,” and, of course, the “don’ts.” It all seems to feel daunting, and you’re unsure where to begin. At As You Are Counselling (AYOUA), we understand. AYOUA was created for individuals who do not fit into a certain mold determined by society, culture, or expectation.

This is your journey. Only you have lived your life and become the person you are today. You know what you need, or maybe you just know you want something different, and I’m here to walk that path with you.

As my client you are the focus of my work, and from the moment you sit down with me I want you to feel supported, safe, and welcome. I work with adults experiencing a variety of issues: depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship, couples, sexual addiction, divorce, self-esteem, life transition, personal growth, or simply feeling stuck, out of control, meaningless. My approach to individual therapy combines CBT/ Existential Analysis with concepts including mindfulness, personality, attachment, meaning-making/purpose

“My ideal client is focused upon personal growth and healing.” Your story, your pain and your collection of struggles and memories are unique to you, so let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. Let me be there to help and guide you through your life transitions and adapting through changes. I can help! I have experience in Play and Art Therapy, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Grief Therapy, and applied behaviour intervention.

Whether you are re-taking control of your life and starting over or you are looking to set time aside for your mental wellbeing, Art Therapy can help. Art Therapy is widely used as an auxiliary treatment for depression, illness and chronic pain, addiction and trauma. Children and Youth particularly respond well to Art Therapy as it offers a less confrontational approach to counselling . I have experience working with children and youth with various challenges stemming from parental separation, anxiety disorders, grief and loss and especially difficulties with social inclusion and feeling outcasted.

The path to healing looks different for everyone. By trying counselling, you are taking an effective step to better understanding yourself and your options when it comes to improving your life path. If you are looking for a space to feel genuinely understood, to safely express all of your feelings (even the really scary ones), to vent and hash out difficult experiences or thoughts without judgment, and maybe even to create an action plan for change; I can help. I am currently in the practicum portion of my Master’s Degree in Counselling, which means you will get the benefit of receiving therapy for a reduced cost, with supervision.

Have you felt as though you have no one to talk to and feel alone when facing some of life's many challenges? Unsure or afraid of the judgement of reaching out for support? Emotions such as hopelessness, sadness, worry and frustration can consume us in moments of uncertainty. Being aware of these thoughts and emotions takes strength and courage to acknowledge. It may not feel like it, but that is the first step in starting your journey in healing. Collaboratively, we will explore who you are as a person and uncover your strengths to support you in overcoming the challenges you may be facing.

Does your child struggle with expressing their emotions? Are they facing challenges that seem difficult to talk about? Are they struggling with confidence and self-esteem? My play therapy approach helps children navigate their emotions, behaviors, and challenges through the power of play. My playroom work is a gentle, effective way for children to communicate their thoughts and feelings in an age-appropriate way such as through toys, games, and creative activities.

Hurting people hurt people, but they also tend to hurt themselves in the long run. The need for an unbiased and non-judgemental person to talk to can serve to provide a sense of relief from the stress you may be facing in the moment. I believe that is what we may need in our lives, and I am able to serve you in this area. For whatever your needs may be, I will tailor the treatment plan accordingly and strive to find the best approach to meet them.

Are you an individual who wants to feel better and know where they are going in life? Do you want to learn how to move past those frustrating moments dealing with family issues and develop a great sense of who you are and feel clear about your purpose? Learning about relationships is learning about the part you play so you can develop skills and create more harmony, connect with your inner strengths and resources to create new patterns, and live more fully. I work with you and various therapeutic methods to meet your needs that result in increased strength, creative energy, and skill development so you can feel successful.

I know that accessing counselling takes courage and I am glad you have landed on my page. Both my lived experience as a queer woman of colour and my training help guide therapy. We will work together collaboratively towards your healing and growth.

I work from a trauma informed and culturally inclusive perspective. I use an approach that uses the client's strengths to foster growth and promote mental wellness.
