Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Vernon, BC

Hi, I’m Stacey, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and hold a Master of Art's in Counselling Psychology degree. With 15years of experience in mental health, I combine and integrate various mind-body modalities in order to tailor sessions to your individual needs. My approach is client centred and trauma-informed, with a particular emphasis on Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Available evenings and weekends: Welcome new faces! My name is Lauren, and I am glad Psychology Today has brought you to my profile. If you are looking at my page today, you are likely ready to find a counsellor who is excited to connect with you, laugh/cry with you, and empathize with the burdens that come with life. You might also be looking for someone who will show up with compassion for your story and is committed to finding solutions for your unique needs. If that is the case, you may have found the right fit with me!

I support clients from diverse backgrounds with a range of experiences and difficulties. Many of my clients experience symptoms related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, disordered eating, ASD, and relationship difficulties. My clients come from a variety of cultural backgrounds, diverse sexual and gender identities and many identify as neuro-diverse. Counselling is an excellent way to develop effective coping tools to manage challenges, understand ourselves and cope with different symptoms better, improve relationships, communication and boundaries, and ultimately work towards making positive changes in our lives.

Do you wake up in the morning with dread and little energy at the thought of getting up and facing the day, or feel anxious and overwhelmed when facing daily tasks that seem simple to everyone else? Do you find yourself repeating patterns of thought or behavior to calm yourself from thoughts of incoming dread and wonder if if it's OCD? Or perhaps it feels like all you and your partner seem to do lately is argue, feel impatient with one another and seem to misunderstand what each of you is trying to communicate. Do you look at your partner, feel disconnected and lonely and wonder "what happened to us?"

I help teens, young adults and parents whose life feels limited by past experiences, shame, self criticism, anxiety and/or depression. Whether you are looking for short term counselling (emotional support and some help to get back on your feet), more in depth therapy (changing longer existing patterns of how you behave and relate with yourself and others), or emotional intelligence coaching (to improve yourself personally or professionally), I can help. My clients are from very varied backgrounds and ages, however I do specialize in working with health care professionals, first responders, and young adults.

Children are one third of our population and all of our future. I specialize in children, teens and families. I believe that parents do the best they can with the tools they have been given - tools that can be learned and expanded through counselling. I graduated with my Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University, and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors I work primarily with individual children (6-12), individual teens (ages 13+) and parents.

I have a Bachelor and Master's Degree in Social Work from UBC and over 23 years experience helping others with mental health, addictions, and relationship issues in a variety of health care, community and social service settings. When you come in for counselling support, I start by creating a relaxed atmosphere where you feel safe and reassured that you've found someone who can help you truly face the issues you're experiencing. Sometimes, the stress of life can be overwhelming and your world becomes very narrow.

I am a Registered Professional Counsellor who has over 10 years experience in the Mental Health and Human Service field. I have a BA, with a Major in Psychology, and a Masters of Science in Psychology in which I graduated with Honours. I have experience helping clients in the following areas: Anxiety, Depression, Self-harm, Substance Abuse, Bullying, Relationships, Family Conflict, and Parenting After Separation. I also work as a vender with ICBC and can help with any symptoms due to a motor vehicle accident.

After many years of working in healthcare and education in the U.K., the Netherlands and Canada, I realized that I wanted to help others more directly. I wanted to create a safe, understanding, caring, non-judgemental space for people to share their mental health journey with me. I have developed the skills and knowledge, through education at KCPC and through work with the Canadian Mental Health Association and as a BouncBack coach, to use an integrative approach to counselling to guide and support people to reach their mental health goals. This means that I will work with you to find the best way that works for you!

Are you a late-diagnosed or suspected Neurodivergent (ND) adult, ND couple, high-achieving woman, mother, or person who has suffered from the lifelong effects of trauma? If you are someone who wishes to understand yourself better, release your people-pleasing, over-functioning, and controlling tendencies, and fully heal from your past traumas, Li can help. Suppose you are someone who knows that better communication, appropriate boundaries, and better emotional regulation would make a world of difference in your life. In that case, Li, with 20+ years of counselling, coaching, teaching and leading people like yourself, can help.

As a Certified Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Supervisor, I believe every person has a right to share their story. I provide a safe environment where people can process and gain the insights and awareness they are seeking. I deal with the root issue(s), not just the symptoms of the problems that are presented. Many have no where to turn and feel trapped in their issues, whether shame, fear, loneliness, anger, or hurt. These feelings are often deep-rooted and have not been recognized, acknowledged and shared with someone non-judgmental. As we share our life stories with someone objective we are able to find the healing we need.

Significant life events and transitions can throw anyone off their "best self." Our work together will help you regain a sense of balance and focus, identity, and belonging. I believe individuals are experts on themselves, and I walk beside my clients offering insight and resources that help them move toward the life they want to live. "True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.”-Brene Brown

If you have experienced things that are so overwhelming or suffered a trauma it can sometimes feel debilitating and this can compromise your ability to function and cope this is because trauma affects our nervous system. When you are triggered by an event or a person you produce an emotional charge and when you leave or ignore these issues they get locked in our body and this affects the way you think, feel and behave. In order to feel better and recover you need to address these unresolved issues to release that emotional charge.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Does it feel like it takes too much energy to just get out of bed? Do you want to feel you have more control of your life? For the past 15 years I have supported Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, youth and adults with issues related to anxiety, depression, substance use, grief and loss, sexuality, social struggles, and trauma related to residential schools. I am passionate about helping you overcome obstacles to the success in life that you want and deserve. I believe that healing is a holistic journey that takes all aspects of your life into account, and doesn't focus on only one part or symptom.

Imagine feeling it in your bones that change is possible. How you relate to yourself, others, and life - can change. I want to work with people who are courageous and fearful and unsure. When we have limiting stories of ourselves it can be helpful to have someone else, a professional, hear us - see us- and want to show another way. I will not look away from your shadow, and I do not fear trauma or big emotions. You are so much more than what you've done, your body, and your worst thoughts.

My goal is to help people better understand themselves and the world around them. From the thoughts and feelings tied to our physiology to the expectations and dynamics of our modern lives, I believe in addressing the multifaceted aspects of human experience. Through a grounded approach, I integrate evidence-based techniques with understanding and curiosity. Together, we explore your unique situation, uncovering insights that foster self-awareness, resilience, and growth. My commitment is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel empowered to navigate life's challenges and cultivate meaningful change.

My clients are regular people who find themselves stuck - emotionally (negative emotions), personally (self-esteem), or relationally (conflict/communication). I work with my clients to help them experience freedom in these areas. My clients get results quickly because I use a proven system guaranteed to get them unstuck. Skeptical? That's okay, because I have a money-back satisfaction guarantee. I offer that because I know that if you can understand the underlying dynamics of your emotions, then change can start during the first session. Free consultation! You have nothing to lose, and only your freedom to gain. Call today!

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) I offer counselling to adults, youth and families with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and relationship issues. Another area of interest is working alongside parents and caregivers as they support their child or youth struggling with mental health and/or behavioural challenges, such as conflict in the home, difficulty managing emotions and school refusal.

As a psychiatric nurse I value research based approaches and personalized client care in my practice. I work from an eclectic and collaborative approach with each client to ensure that client's feel heard, seen and included throughout their therapeutic journey. I work with kids, teens and adults that have struggled with mental health issues, including psychiatric diagnosis, as well as individuals who have experienced trauma, discrimination, gender identity related issues, and domestic violence recovery.

I provide counselling in a safe, confidential and professional environment. Talk to me about anxiety, depression, trauma, dysfunctional behaviour, and difficult relationship issues. You may often think, "I just want to feel Loved, Seen and Heard; is that too much to ask?" I commit to be present and listen to you. Meeting you where you are right now, giving you practical insights, proven tools, and step-by-step strategies you need to get where you want to go. With couples counselling you can rebuild the relationship you want, reconnect with the one you love, and resolve conflicts peacefully.
