Hi, my name is Janelle! I am a wife, mom, and have been a Registered Social Worker for over a decade. I love supporting people in the following areas of youth, teens young adults, adults, parents, and families. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy engaging in nature through hiking, paddling, gardening, and spending time with my family. These activities rejuvenate my spirit and provide a sense of peace and clarity. The connections I build with my clients and within my community continually inspire and energize me, driving my commitment to lifelong learning and personal growth.

Kayla is a graduate of McGill and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC).  She supports youth, teens, young adults and adults in their mental health journey by drawing on a variety of modalities, creating a safe space, and tailoring the approach uniquely to you to live a more fulfilling life. In addition to being a therapist, Kayla is a wife and mom of three.

As a therapist, I don’t draw on any one modality. I blend and mix and match different strategies and approaches depending on who you are, what’s brought you in, and what works for you. My goal is to show up for you and help you hold all your messy, complicated, painful, and embarrassing “stuff,” so we can work together to untangle it, make some space for it, decide what kind of relationship you want to have with all those parts, and then work through how you would like to show up for yourself and others in your life.

As a counsellor in Kelowna, BC, I specialize in helping people overcome anxiety, stress, depression, and negative self-talk (among other areas). My faith is foundational to me and I love working in Christian counselling. As a wife and mom, I love working in pregnancy, postpartum, with other moms, couples, kids, teens, young adults, adults and families. As a clinical supervisor, I love empowering and pouring into other therapists as they pour out to their clients. After all, we *all* have stuff and can benefit from counselling and a safe, supportive person and strategies.

Hello, I’m Robin (she/her) and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and I consider myself to be a wellness enthusiast who is passionate about helping others navigate their life journey. I work with individuals and couples specializing in couples counselling, grief counselling, and menopause/ women’s issues. Robin is accepting new clients for In Office Counselling and Online Counselling.

I have spent my career discovering and sharpening my skills as a mental health clinician. By attending workshops, courses and galvanizing therapeutic modalities (with an attachment, person-centered, EFT and CBT lens), I have honed my skills to attend to the diverse needs of my clients. As importantly, is my lived experience of the many challenges and successes of 25 years of marriage and raising 4 children in a blended family. From this I have gleaned that there is never one right way to improve a situation, though there are easier paths than others to get there.

Shawna is a mom of three kids, enjoying small-town life in the Similkameen. Upon entering motherhood and having three kids close together, she felt totally overwhelmed by motherhood and it took a toll on her health and marriage. With counselling, and a lot of inner work, she grew a passion to help other moms turn off the autopilot living and show up for their lives, on purpose. This prompted her to seek training as a coach and a counsellor. She loves working with moms and also offers Christian counselling.
