Are you feeling stuck, unhappy or unheard? Has your relationship ended or hit a roadblock? Are you managing a chronic illness or pain, or experiencing a sense of numbness, anger, grief or trouble with 'dating in the modern age'? I can help. I work with both individuals & couples to resolve challenges within their important relationships (work, friends, family, significant other/s) including the one with themselves. Because we are each a mix of past experiences and current circumstances, it can be difficult to really know our own voice; harder still to stand forward for that in ways that preserve what's most important to us.

David Ausher (he/him) is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) 2957 with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada. I am a therapist who has dedicated my life to assisting individuals with their life struggles. I understand what it is like to feel lost and like your life is in turmoil. Many years ago I set out to better understand who I was and why I felt the way I did. My own personal journey of self-discovery yielded some new truths for me: I am not alone. The more I understand about myself, the more alive I feel.

September 2024 - Welcoming NEW clients with in-person and virtual appointments at two convenient locations across beautiful Vancouver Island. During seasons of temporary distress, I've observed how sharing our journey fosters understanding, healing, and growth. Meaningful connection and exploration with trusted others enriches our insight and broadens our perspective. Depending on circumstances and timing, such opportunities may have been limited. Feeling uncomfortable with therapy is valid! Even so, lean in—the time is now, and I am here to support you.

Overwhelmed? Hurting? Stressed? Counselling can help you. Everyone struggles with something. Life can get busy, exhausting, and even painful. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, angry, or just kind of “off”. Perhaps you’re burned out from always taking care of others, chasing endless to-do lists, and wishing you could get some slack just this once. It's likely that you might even be feeling this way as you scroll through a sea of counsellor profiles, trying to figure out who can actually make a difference for you. If you're ready to start feeling better, drop me a line to find out how I can help.

Hi I'm Leia! I have experience helping others navigate trauma or distressing life experiences that are affecting their daily life and relationships. I believe connection is key for removing barriers and working through problems. I provide a non-judgmental safe space where together we can do just this. My experience includes working with youth and young adults navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, oppression, and trauma who are diverse in culture. My education in counselling is through Adler University. Through personal identity I am familiar with injury and disability culture.

In over thirty years working as a psychologist, I have become convinced that the most effective way to help others is through a collaborative approach. When the client and therapist work together to find solutions, the emphasis is placed on the client’s individual perspective and the strengths and successes they have already achieved. At the core of therapy, I believe, is a non-judgemental and compassionate view of how everyone’s personal journey involves overcoming suffering and moving towards self-acceptance, empowerment and emotional well- being. I also provide Supervision for therapists.

Do strong emotions and memories impact how you live? Unresolved trauma and chronic stress can create negative thoughts and feelings and negatively impact our overall well-being. We may experience anxiety/depression, addiction, chronic stress, etc. Coping mechanisms may become ineffective or even harmful over time. Are you new to therapy - or have been to therapy before - call to discuss how trauma therapy may help.

Every one of us has periods where we feel stuck: difficulties in our relationships, struck with anxiety, or the unsettling changes that grief can bring. These experiences can conjure up complex thoughts and emotions that can make our paths forward seem unclear. It's beneficial to have support from someone who will help you to explore your situation with care, non-judgmental curiosity, and orient you onto a more solid path through these murky seasons, through ways that work best for you.

Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal and integrate all parts (this includes shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems).
