EMDR Therapists in Saanichton, BC

***My practice is currently full.***"I like how you help me to see myself as powerful and capable..." & "I didn't know counselling could be like this...." Are words spoken by my clients. My genuine, caring and compassionate approach, along with my lighthearted sense of humor, are instrumental in establishing an empowering and safe relationship with my clients. I work with people of all ages who face challenges which impede their ability to live full and meaningful lives.

Currently accepting new clients Monday -Thursdays (in person and online)! I foster a welcoming space for people from all walks of life, find delight in diversity, and work hard to affirm the dignity of all people. Whatever it is you might want to work through, I am convinced that the first place to begin is with someone who continually chooses to see the goodness in who you are and who can help call that forth in your own life and in your own way. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, anxiety, life transitions and relationship counselling. I work with individuals and couples.

Offering psychotherapy for individuals to regain control over their life outcomes and counselling for families and couples dealing with relationship, trust, attachment and intimacy issues. I work with adults of all ages to overcome mental health difficulties, past traumas and distressing life challenges.

Anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, OCD are common diagnoses I can help with. Many of my clients tell me they're looking for "something different." than the usual counselling approaches. What if we viewed many diagnoses as normal reactions to stress and trauma? What if we could learn to understand the meaning of your symptoms? Using somatic & talk therapy, we untangle anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, (etc.) to understand what they mean and how they occurred. EMDR and psychedelic integration unlock deep trauma and expands capacity for love and understanding. You don't have to be alone anymore.

*Accepting new clients* Hi there, my name is Jonathan. Helping people work on the challenges they want to work on so that they can become a better version of themselves is my work. By using an integrative approach, I support people by helping them discover and explore practical solutions for their life circumstances and their relationships. What works best for you is what is important, not following a set of instructions or trying to fit you into a prescribed way of life. Counselling is about working together to improve well-being and focusing our efforts to do so, so let's work together.

I offer an individualized approach to adapting & growing with life challenges. The primary concerns I work with include: traumatic or stressful experiences, grief & loss & the symptoms of depression, anxiety, & insomnia. I begin with learning what is important & meaningful to you, clarify your present concerns & also how you will know when our work is done(!) Therapy takes time, energy & commitment but does not go on forever! I find it most effective to meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis until we evaluate our work is done, or a less frequent schedule makes sense. Note: I work only with adults in individual or group therapy.

Accepting new clients. I work with youth and adults who struggle with disordered eating, low self-esteem, body image concerns, self-criticism, and anxiety. With curiosity and warmth, we will explore your experiences to help you develop awareness of the various parts of yourself that need support. Evidence-based therapies provide a path toward healing and recovery. Through talk therapy, clients notice more self-confidence and trust, a greater sense of safety and security, and a robust set of coping strategies that serve them well in healing their relationship with food, their body, and themselves.

Life can be overwhelming when we’re juggling multiple responsibilities while taking care of ourselves and others. Particularly when something unexpected arises, our balance can be disturbed. Navigating life’s challenges can also become more intense when hidden parts of ourselves, or others, arise and dominate situations, making them hard to understand. In these times, it is not surprising that so many people turn to therapy for illumination and support.
