What makes me come alive

I am a wife, mama to three, health & wellness enthusiast, and coffee lover. I am a former elite hockey player and coach turned counsellor that specializes in working with athletes to support their mental health, and enhance their mental game and performance with sports psychology strategies. As a counsellor in Kelowna, BC, I specialize in helping people overcome anxiety, stress, depression, and negative self-talk (among other areas). I also offer Online Counselling. I have a particular heart for university students working with them across the United States and Canada for over 12 years. As a wife and mom, I love working with other women to fill their cups as they continue to pour out to those around them. Because, empty cups cannot pour!

As a therapist, I work with individuals, couples, families and speak to a variety of organizations, groups, and teams. I also am a mental health consultant to corporations and organizations.

I come alive with connection to my faith & Christian Counselling, family, community, my work, health, nature, and my morning coffee.

Stacey Boe

Registered Clinical Counsellor

Counselling Specialties

I am currently providing counseling in-person and online for ages 10+ Specializing in:

  • Anxiety, phobias, OCD, panic
  • Depression, anger, emotional dysregulation
  • Postpartum depression and anxiety
  • Body image, self-identity
  • Trauma, EMDR

What makes me come alive

Hi, I’m Stacey, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and hold a Master of Art’s in Counselling Psychology degree.
With 15 years 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).
When developing a treatment approach, I recognize that our social, cultural and familial experiences through life, can greatly influence the way we view ourselves and the world around us. At times, our exposures through history may disconnect us from our inner world of knowledge, skills, and resilience. Honouring your story, and the wisdom you enter the room with, is fundamental to our sessions. As we access the qualities, values, and strengths embedded throughout your story, we may develop and grow healthy coping patterns to challenge the problems being faced. Within this process, you may find yourself reflecting on pieces of life in a way that you have never reflected before, opening up a space for movement and change.

What makes me come alive

Hi! My name is Madi Maitz and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Registered Social Worker with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work.

As humans, I understand that we are wired for, and long for connection in our lives. Connection to ourselves, to others, and to our world. When we feel disconnected, our lives can feel confusing, painful, and like we are lost. I believe in the importance and healing nature of connection and aim to develop strong, trusting relationships with my clients that allow connection and purpose to flourish in and outside of sessions. In essence, I believe that connection is at the heart of our resilience.
