Welcome to Compassionate Counseling, where life balance begins. Are you feeling overwhelmed by emotional/mental/physical pain? Whether you're recovering from illness, treatment, surgery, or physical rehabilitation, I understand the challenges involved. With 17 years of experience as a neurofunctional physical therapist, I've aided individuals in various recoveries: work injuries, post-concussion, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's, ALS, MS, and life-altering surgeries. As a psychotherapist, I recognize the critical role of the mind-body connection in the recovery process.

Waitlist for new clients
****** Waitlist is currently 3-6 months ****** Walking beside people through their therapy journey is a great privilege and I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I have been a therapist for over ten years and get told over and over again by my clients how easy it was for them to let their guard down, to build trust and comfort, and to begin to transform their hopes for therapy into meaningful growth and change. I exude warmth and genuineness and I know that great therapy cannot happen without a strong relationship between client and therapist.

Life is difficult. Complex circumstances hit us all, often resulting in a diminished ability for us to live life to its fullest. Unresolved emotional pain and trauma can give rise to depression, anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, and abuse of self and others. By Peaceful Waters therapists combine our professional training and our Christian faith to bring healing and restoration to spiritual, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and relational hurts. We offer a safe, non-judgmental and empathetic environment, nourishing hope and healing, in which the whole person is valued, affirmed and empowered, not just to survive but to thrive.

Life can sometimes be full of stressors and uncertainties – all of which are difficult to navigate on your own. The truth is we all struggle from time to time, whether it be relational stressors, emotional distress, anxiety, grief, or self esteem. My desire is to help you feel supported, encouraged, to work together to explore what is keeping you stuck, and start making meaningful changes. I believe in using a client centered approach that highlights the strengths and resources within each individual that will help to empower and build confidence.

Hello! I am Jenni Evans (she/her). I am a queer, cis-gendered settler and am a Master of Social Work Student. I am currently developing a therapeutic practice aimed at supporting individuals, couples and families as they navigate the challenges of relationships, being in community, survival under capitalism and the quest for meaning in their lives. I practice with a critical lens, which means I practice in a way that acknowledges and validates the systemic challenges (all of the “isms”) people face which can live alongside or completely dominate the emotional, mental, and spiritual challenges we are working to overcome.

As a therapist, one of my most deeply held beliefs is that each of us has the potential to live our best life. We can do this when we learn how to remain calm and collected in stressful moments, identify and detach from unhelpful thought patterns, and develop the courage to change behaviours that keep us stuck in negative cycles. Sometimes we’re able to do this on our own, and other times - especially when we feel routinely overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, and discouraged - we need someone to walk alongside us to help us figure out how to regain control of our emotions, rekindle our hope, and navigate life’s inevitable difficulties

The clients I serve in my practice are first responders, people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. You’ve been in therapy before and although you’ve seen results you aren’t yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. You’ve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now you’re ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.

"Change only occurs once the need to change exceeds the pain of staying the same." Working with individuals, couples, and poly groups, together we develop awareness of systemic factors influencing conscious and subconscious behaviours and decision-making patterns. Then we focus on increasing the strengths and resources available to, and within, the client. Building on the basic Buddhist tenets of mindfulness, compassion, and congruence, we can paint a different picture of both personal and relational issues, and more effective, authentic ways of growing towards your goals.
