Ian is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#20600) who works with children, youth and adults who are struggling with the experience of disconnection. To help clients along the healing process, Ian draws from therapies that emphasize the importance of connection.

Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. – Samuel Beckett

Inspired by these simple words, Ian treasures the inherent uniqueness of all human beings, a uniqueness that deserves to be witnessed in all its beauty and the growing pains that come with its becoming. Ian strives to walk alongside individuals in their search for the apostrophe and the space that separates imperfect from I’m perfect.

Ian holds the core belief that suffering is the experience of disconnection, be it with their loved ones, with their lived-worlds, or with themselves. As such, Ian’s approach draws from therapies that emphasize the importance of connection as a healing process. These theories include Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Existential Analysis (EA), and Third-Wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapies.

Dane believes that each person is doing their best to respond to pressures from the past, present, and future, that currently weigh on them within life.

Chris helps young children, teens and adults who’ve experienced trauma or abuse to move beyond their experience to a place of security, certainty and joy.

A member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma & Dissociation, Chris also offers services in German.

Chris has a lifelong passion for helping kids overcome hardship—from trauma, abuse, anxiety or even the daily stress that comes from living in unprecedented times. Taking a humanistic, person-centred approach, Chris helps children and adults become the best version of themselves. His goal is to give new hope to kids, and their parents, as he helps them on the path to healthy, full relationships.

Chris earned a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP), a BA (Hons) in Psychology with a minor in Sociology, and a Human Services Certificate from Trinity Western University. He has specialized training in two specific trauma therapies: Lifespan Integration and Observed & Experiential Integration. Driven by a desire to see healing at every stage of life, Chris helps people overcome past trauma and pain and move forward in healthy, full relationships.

To help children and adults get unstuck and move beyond abuse or trauma, Chris takes a bottom up approach. This client-centred, attachment-informed focus is rooted in the belief that all people have the inner ability to help themselves and to create lasting change. In adults and older children, Chris uses talk therapy. In the case of acute or intense memories or backgrounds, he offers specific trauma therapies. For young children, he uses play and art in a predominantly child-led approach.

These approaches help adults and children break out of unhelpful relationship patterns that undermine their inner strength—and equip them to move forward with healthy attachments and firm relationships.

Stephanie is a Canadian Certified Counsellor (#13020). She provides support for people experiencing stress and shame-related issues such as relational trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, religious trauma/deconstruction, self-acceptance/compassion, life transitions, compassion fatigue, and stress management. Stephanie also offers services in American Sign Language.

Stephanie’s deepest belief is that all people are worthy of love and belonging. She brings that sense of value to every client session. An avid reader, Stephanie has experienced personal growth from many of the books she has read. She brings this into therapy by sharing about some of the books that have been most impactful to her with her clients. Stephanie holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Studio Art. She then went on to receive her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, as well as certifications in Emotion Focused Individual Therapy and Emotion Focused Family Therapy.

Stephanie integrates some of the most relevant elements from several theories to meet each client where they are in their journey. She begins with building safety for vulnerability in each new counselling relationship, which includes validation and some grounding/relaxation practices. Her work is highly influenced by the research, writings, and lectures of Brene Brown on shame-resilience. Brown’s work embodies the belief that we are all human and, therefore, beautifully imperfect. That starting place is where humans can meet and see each other on our way to knowing we are worthy of love and connection—and therefore able to live with more growth, richness of life, and connection. Through these lenses, Stephanie helps clients build rewarding relationships with their emotions, both internally and in the context of the relationships around them.

In her spare time, Stephanie loves to listen to audio books, make art or craft projects, get outside, practice American Sign Language, and tend to her plants.
