We all have a story unique to our lived experiences, and I strive to provide a space for each person to feel safe and empowered. Our stories deserve to be heard with compassion and respect and without judgment or assumptions. When we feel safe, we can open up and allow ourselves to be seen, which takes courage. Working in the field of substance use for the past twelve years has allowed me to witness the strength, resiliency, and ability to heal that is in each of us.

Life is hardly ever easy. But suffering can be lessened, especially with the help of another human being, trained to help you navigate life's challenges and uncover your inner strengths. If you are seeking better self-understanding, leading to new ways of responding to the world so you can have better relationships, greater life’s satisfaction, a calmer mind, and greater resilience, then my approach to therapy could be right for you. I will work with you to help you untie your inner knots, reduce inner tension and confusion, and increase your capacity to cope with whatever life throws at you.

Welcome! I am Lenka: a good listener, a hiker, and a psychotherapist. I have worked with many people over the years, and would love to chat to see if I fit what you're looking for. Your journey has brought you here, and I would love to be part of it. I offer individual and couple's therapy.

Are you seeking clarity around your authentic expression, your purpose, sustainable ways to relate to others, or how it all connects? Maybe trauma or grief has created a rupture in your life, and you want to find your way home within your body. Perhaps the term neurodiverse resonates with you, and you're ready to create a structure that truly supports you. You're probably someone who cares deeply about others, the environment, and are a lifelong learner. While you're not seeking a quick fix, you do want to acquire tangible tools. You've got capacity to look at the shadows, and you want to amplify creativity, resource, and play.

I am passionate about supporting children, teens and young adults. Over the past decade I have been committed to providing therapeutic counselling services to children, adolescents and their families in the West Kootenays. I have provided art therapy services through a number of local community services centers as well as for school districts.

I work with children, adolescents (age 12 and up), adults, and also offer couples therapy. I utilize a variety of approaches with my clients, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method for Couples. For many years I have worked in a variety of adolescent residential programs incorporating families, individuals, and peer supports in order to promote growth in clients. In my work with adolescents, I worked with individuals dealing with a variety of issues including addiction, mental health and life skills development.

You're lying awake at night, unable to rest despite feeling exhausted. Each day feels like you're stuck in a rut, going through the motions without joy. Social outings, once a source of happiness, now feel like a chore. Your inbox is overflowing, and the anxiety of not knowing where to start is paralyzing. Concentration is a constant battle, and decisions feel overwhelming, no matter how small. You've tried sleep aids, but your anxiety and depression still linger. Relationships that once brought you comfort now feel strained and filled with conflict. You're yearning for change but don't know where to begin.

It can be difficult to find a therapist who you feel comfortable exploring life's struggles with; we work hard to create an open space for you to examine what you want to change, and support in the development of tools and strategies to move on to where you want to be. We believe in collaborating on goals together and finding solutions that work for you.

VCAWC is a Vancouver based counselling clinic with many experience counsellors as well as a low rate student clinic. We work collaboratively with clients to explore the concerns in their lives. Although our practices are influenced by many therapeutic models, we primarily offer an approach called Narrative Therapy. Narrative Therapy is a collaborative approach to therapy that helps to centre people’s strengths, values, abilities and hopes. We believe that all people have relationships to problems. Through counselling—a journey of exploration with another person—we get to re-author that relationship and choose how we want to be.

While stress, anxiety, sadness, health problems, and relationship conflicts are a common part of life, if they're interfering with work, school, family, relationships, or other areas of your life that are important to you, you may benefit from therapy. My clients experience a range of difficulties from anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, depression, substance or impulse control issues, chronic pain or health problems, and high-conflict relationships. The thing they all have in common is they feel like their emotions, behaviours, or past experiences have prevented them from living the fullest, most meaningful life possible.

To all appearances you’ve got a great life. You’re smart, driven, & successful. But privately, you sometimes struggle with negative thoughts you have about who you are, what you are worth, and what you've done with your life. These stubborn thoughts and beliefs affect every aspect of your life: your health, your school, your career, your relationships, and your self-esteem. You try to keep them at bay but you're exhausted from the effort and you want to break free of them and live again. You want to feel seen, supported & understood by someone you can trust. You're ready for something new.

I am a Registered Social Worker experienced in providing counselling to people of all ages. I work with clients who are looking for support with life's challenges and feeling ready to make a transformation in their life. My areas of specialty include relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress management, and life transitions. I integrate a variety of approaches into my practice including Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness. With additional certifications in Yoga and Health Coaching, I focus on a holistic approach toward overall health and wellbeing.

I work with individuals, couples, and families in areas such as self-acceptance, anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, grief and loss, health and lifestyle issues, relationships and exploring feelings of anger, shame, and guilt and the impact on your day-to-day life. In addition, I work with couples who are struggling in their relationships and parents who are looking to improve their relationship with their children and each other. I offer pre-commitment counselling to help couples build a successful skill set for long term commitment based on dignity and respect for each other.

As a counsellor my goal is to help guide you towards a more joy filled and authentic life through a trauma informed lens and somatic counselling approach. Is disordered eating or a preoccupation with body image getting in the way of your connection to self and others? Are your current coping strategies no longer serving you? Do you have a past trauma or wound which is adversely affecting your quality of life? Or, perhaps you just feel like "something is wrong" and you want change. I offer a warm, authentic, collaborative approach for you to do this work.

Are you feeling stuck in your life and not sure how to move forward? Does your mind continue to race but provide no clarity about how to move forward in your life? You may be feeling overwhelmed or have the sense you have become disconnected from who you really are. You want a life of greater ease and to experience more peace. You are ready to step into who you really are.

Fleur is a highly experienced counsellor who specializes in working with children, adolescents and adults, who struggle with symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, and/or depression. Fleur also provides Executive Function Coaching. Some individuals have weaknesses in executive functions and regardless of how bright they are, they struggle to perform academically. Executive Function Coaching helps individuals with homework planning/completion, study skills, organization, time management, project completion (e.g. essays), and motivation.

I help adults make sense of what triggers their own reactivity with their kids, where that came from, how it plays out in their relationships and how to tame those triggers to break the cycle of authoritarian and shame based parenting. It is hard work making those changes but I truly believe it’s never too late to repair those relationships. Using EMDR, I help clients process past childhood memories that hold those negative reactions, so that we can heal and parent from a more empathetic and respectful place. I truly believe that the hardest part of parenting is undoing the hardwiring we experienced during our own childhood.
