Life can be challenging, and you deserve support. Yet, we as women feel guilty for prioritizing ourselves all too often. We are used to putting others’ needs and comfort before our own. Perhaps you notice being very critical of yourself. Maybe you’re struggling with your relationships, life changes or overwhelming emotions like anxiety, anger or shame. You might be asking yourself: “Who am I? Is this the life I want?” I want you to know that you don’t have to deal with it alone. In my practice, I specialize in helping women navigate challenging life transitions with compassion, care and deep emotional support.

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered in both BC and Saskatchewan (website: www.drjordanmaile.com) who provides treatment for adults with depression, anxiety, worry, stress, and anger issues. Since I am registered in both BC and SK, I can see clients (virtually) from both provinces. I use primarily cognitive-behaviour therapy or CBT; if you don't know what this, I'd be happy to explain! I understand that it can be challenging to reach out for help, so I try to make the process as straightforward and simple as I can.

Life’s challenges can be difficult to cope with. We all feel stuck at some point in our lives and need support. Stress can leave you drained, anxious, ruminating and wondering how to move forward. Life-transition(s) can be challenging and overwhelming whether it be moving to a new place, changes in a significant relationship, or the loss of a loved one. You are not alone. Thank you for taking a step to look into therapy. In doing so you are taking an active part in your healing, courageously reaching for what you would like to have in your life. I will support you with building awareness and increasing resiliency.

As a clinical counsellor, I specialize in helping those dealing with hormonal imbalances, low self-confidence, burnout, and major life transitions. If you're feeling disconnected from yourself or overwhelmed by seemingly minor issues, chronic stress may be taking a toll on your well-being. Over time, this stress can deeply affect your emotional and physical health. Addressing these challenges can help you regain control, improve your relationships, and restore a sense of peace and fulfillment in your life. Change starts with recognizing the need for something better.

I have experience working alongside communities affected by intergenerational trauma, and I frequently work with adults and youth impacted by childhood trauma, anxiety, and stress.
Are you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself and from others? Are you struggling with distressing thoughts and feelings? Are you desiring to understand yourself better and to nourish aspects of yourself that have been dormant? Perhaps you are seeking a space to feel witnessed, supported, and understood. Together, we can explore where you are coming from, what is holding you back, and where you want to go. My experience as a counsellor continues to teach me about the transformative possibilities that exist as we dissolve the sense of aloneness that so many of us feel.

Challenging situations can happen suddenly, or be built up over time, leaving us caught off guard or uncertain of the way forward. Throughout my career I have developed an expertise in counselling people going through distressing or unexpected life circumstances or difficult relationship dynamics. I assist people with grief and loss, relationship strain or change, workplace conflict, bullying, exhaustion/burnout, stress management, or anything which keeps them awake at night. If something has happened to you out of the blue, or you're fed up with some cycle in your life that keeps repeating itself, I can help you move through it.

From experiences of stress, difficult emotions, and physical pain, to the quality of everyday relationships, this approach has proven clinical results.
Change is always hard. Whether something or someone in our life needs to change — or it already has — or we've decided that something inside ourselves needs to shift, it's never easy. But living with the feeling that something isn't right is hard too — it can leave us with frustration and resentment in our relationships, dip us down into depression and exhaustion, or put us in a pattern of all-too-familiar anxiousness, submissiveness, and anger. If any of this sounds familiar, counselling can help.

Are you a chronically overwhelmed ADHDer? Do you often struggle with feelings of anxiety, sadness, shame or self-doubt? Do you feel frustrated and self-critical while trying to make needed changes? Stress, disappointment, loss - as well as our inner struggles with anger, worry, self-criticism, and feelings of inadequacy - diminish our innate capacity for well-being and resilience. As a counsellor with a background in coaching for neurodivergent clients, I invite you to bring every part of you to our sessions so you can be heard and understood.

One of the most exciting aspects of life is that it is always changing, yet this can also be one of our biggest challenges. Life's transitional moments can be difficult as they can cause stress, uncertainty and confusion and can often lead to feelings of grief and loss. It can make us question ourselves and others and may overwhelm us into inaction. The picture of what we had expected our future to look like changes and we are left with a variety of emotions and no plan forward. I believe that having someone to talk to through these tough times is so helpful. I am grateful to be that person for my clients.

If you’re here, then you’ve probably run into a very difficult time in life, and you’re looking for ways to get through it. A metaphor I find helpful is the idea of life as a journey, with lots of good terrain, but also lots of tough terrain. The tough terrain can represent many different struggles: relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, family challenges, loss… you name it. A counsellor can be thought of as a local guide who is familiar with the tough terrain, and has experience helping people navigate the most difficult parts of their journey.
