Somatic Therapists in Port Moody, BC

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor working in the Tri-cities, BC. I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology, a BA in Psychology and World Religions, a graduate diploma in Interprofessional Mental Health & Addictions and a post-degree diploma in Guidance Studies. I work with adults and youth healing from mental health challenges, trauma and/or substance use issues. I aim to provide an empathetic and collaborative environment to explore one’s experience, create personally meaningful goals, and to include attention to each domain of physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Now accepting new clients! As a therapist who has lived experience with C-PTSD myself, I often work with clients who are looking for support in unlearning some of the protective patterns that they developed in childhood that are no longer helpful to them in their adult lives. I can offer a level of understanding beyond being trauma-informed, as my personal history combined with my education in trauma can support you in gaining a deeper understanding of how your reactions make sense on a biological level and how we can tap into the mind-body connection to create new, healthier patterns so that the old ones may eventually fall away.

I work with adults and youth clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, OCD, ADHD, PTSD in addition to parenting and relationship struggles. I have undergone training and specialize in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse which can include healing during high conflict divorce, support for single parents and supporting children of narcissistic parents. As an ex first responder, supporting first responders and their families is a passion of mine and I have undergone occupational awareness certification to further support in this area which can also include suicide bereavement.

Hello and welcome! I work with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, low self worth, grief and loss, personal growth, and other life struggles. I am genuinely invested in each person's story and experiences in life and want to ensure people feel heard, seen and understood. Together, we work to build coping skills, mindfulness/grounding skills, balance, understand negative core beliefs, nervous system regulation, self confidence, empowerment and joy! Witnessing my clients gain new perspectives and then start making more aligned choices from an empowered space is the most rewarding part of my work.

I am a trauma-informed counsellor offering EMDR, solution-focused therapy, parts work, and somatic therapy. I also support clients in developing tools to regulate and process emotions, heal from traumatic invalidation, PTSD, and narcissistic abuse, and cope with OCD. Since trauma is often held in the body, my approach is nervous system informed; I support clients in helping the mind and body connect healthfully. My sessions are a safe space for all, I am queer and neurodivergent friendly! I also have experience working with clients who have chronic diseases such as POTS, EDS and fibromyalgia.

** ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering counselling to youth and adults struggling with anxiety, stress,depression, and trauma. I have experience helping those struggling with stress, anxiety and depression learn new ways to cope and engage with their lives. My approach to counselling is client-centered and I work collaboratively with my clients to determine the best approach to therapy. I continuously strive to create a positive, strength-based working alliance with my clients in order to help facilitate on going, lasting change.

We often hold wisdom and knowledge in our bodies that our minds aren't yet aware of. I'm interested in supporting people to access this wisdom by building bridges from our bodies to our consciousness. Body-centered therapy can be helpful when it feels like talking has not brought about change, we've created stories we can't seem to break from or there's something more that we have not been able to access. By strengthening the connections between all the parts of ourselves, we can better understand what we know, need and want in order to live in a way that is aligned with who we are and who we want to be.

Hi, I'm Hunter.

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and have a passion for supporting young people on their journey to becoming the best versions of themselves. I work with children and youth who are having challenges with being able to focus, have ADHD/ADD, self esteem issues, experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, as well as those with learning disabilities. My goal is to develop a deep connection with every person I work with, allowing my clients to feel safe in what may be a vulnerable space. I will ensure that every person who steps into my counselling room feels accepted and non-judged.

Welcome! I am Tiela and I provide compassionate care. I work with clients from all walks of life with an emphasis on easing life transitions, people pleasing tendencies, unpacking trauma, and coming back to who you are, or were.

When you're struggling... it can be hard to know where to start. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed. Perhaps you've been carrying what has happened to you alone. Friends and family - they just don't get it. You've been doing what you can to get by, but know you're not thriving in the way you'd like to be. Perhaps you've been though a painful or traumatic experience and know you're ready to start processing what has happened to you. Or maybe, you're in a challenging life transition. You don't have to be alone with hard things. Counselling can help.

My therapeutic passions align with my lived experiences and education around attachment, relationships, sex/sexuality, and grief. I know first hand that how our brains and bodies process the world affects how we explore and execute attachment. Knowing ourselves thoroughly can help us build meaningful relationships that connect us to our community. I do this work because I enjoy hearing each person share their unique story, which highlights how they experience connection and growth. I love sharing tools to support a regulated nervous system, connect you with your values, and help you live in a way that honors those values.

Do you feel like you are living in constant stress - not a moment to breath? Are you feeling stuck to the point where you don't know how to get out of the patterns you don't like? It can feel isolating when you have so much going on but no seems to quite understand or takes the time to listen. I will provide you a space where you are heard, seen and acknowledged without judgement. I am passionate about helping you get to a place where you can feel good about your life.

If you here are looking for a therapist chances are you feel there are aspects of your life that are not as they should be. Perhaps you are in a cycle where your efforts are not producing the change you want, or maybe you simply feel stuck and are at a loss at how to even begin to move forward. Whatever it is you are experiencing, finding a counsellor you are comfortable and connected with is an important first step towards healing the parts of you that have limited you from being your best self.

I strive to create a warm, open, and trusting relationship with my clients, holding a safe space for them to journey through challenging experiences and emotions. I take a person-centred approach, remaining curious and sincere in my efforts to understand another's experience. I seek to find areas where individuals may feel a lack of authentic freedom, encouraging them as they navigate various life issues and work towards clarity and congruence. I am particularly adept at working with immigrants, as I am keenly aware of the barriers and challenges that come with adjusting to a new culture and environment.

The decision to seek counselling is an important and often life-changing milestone; I’m very glad you’re here. As a counsellor, I am honoured to hear your unique story and to collaborate with you through authentic connection and deep exploration. I seek to provide a safe space for you by cultivating empathy, compassion and curiosity, and strive to help you feel accepted and understood on your wellness journey.

Life experiences can leave us feeling stressed, anxious, inadequate and even hopeless. At times we feel lost, as we struggle to navigate the pain and discomfort we are feeling and may be unsure of how to take steps forward. Counselling can be a place where we make space for the painful experiences of the past, our hopes for the future, and embracing all of who we are and hope to be. No matter what difficulty you are facing, there is hope in restoring what feels lost or broken and support for you as you process, heal, grow and find meaning.
