Meet Cammie

What makes me come alive?

We are excited to share that we will be welcoming Cammie, a Midwife and graduate student therapist! Cammie will be offering low-fee counselling in Kelowna for individuals, couples, and groups starting at $50.

Hello! My name is Cammie!

I am originally raised in Toronto, and have been living in Kelowna since 2010. I reside with my husband, my two children, dog, cat and chickens!

I’ve been working as a Registered Midwife since 2007, and am now entering my practicum for the Masters of Arts in Counselling and Psychology (MACP) program at Yorkville University. I deeply value the connection with clients and assisting individuals to come to their own solutions with gentle assistance and guidance.

I am very excited to be joining Alive Counselling for my practicum under Barb’s supervision, and to be offering low fee counselling in Kelowna.

I value the whole embodiment and holistic approach of what makes us individuals; from the physical, psychological and social aspects of what we and what our issues are composed of.

I sincerely look forward to meeting with you and I wish you all the best in your journey.

Get to Know Your Therapist: Cammie

Hello!
I’m Cammie. I grew up in Toronto and have lived in beautiful Kelowna for 15 years with
my husband, 2 children, dog, cat and chickens!

I’ve been a Registered Midwife for the last 18 years and am now transitioning into the
Counselling profession! I’ve loved working as a midwife but see how much personal life
and situations can really impact one’s life. I’ve wanted to take this path to be able to
help people on a much deeper level than what my training has taught me so far.
My mother has a PhD in psychology, and I’ve always been intrigued by her profession,
and also in awe of her ability to effectively listen, validate and help others, including me!
I’m drawn to helping people come to their own realizations and better understandings of
their situations to become their best self! I have a true passion for working with people
and find it so rewarding to see positive change in their lives.

I want the client to come to healthy realizations and create goals for successful change,
therefore focussing on modalities such as Solution Focused-Brief Therapy, Acceptance
Based Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodyamic Therapy and Dialectical
Behaviour Therapy. I think it is so great and positive when someone comes to their own
conclusions with a little bit of guidance!

I love that counselling helps to foster a trusting and genuine relationship and create a
safe space to discuss the hardships as well as the good. I truly value creating a warm
and relaxing environment to be able to openly and honestly converse. Of course, one
must feel comfortable and confident in their therapist and finding the ‘right fit’ is very
important.

A bit about me: For fun, I like to play my guitar or ukulele, do yoga, go for walks, paint,
cook, be out in nature or on the water, and of course, spend time with my family. I really
value journalling and keeping my own ‘gratitude journal’ so that when times seem tough,
I remind myself of what I have to be grateful for. It’s not always easy, but it reminds me
of all the blessings I have in my life.

If you are at all curious about counselling and haven’t yet sought to do so, I would ask
yourself… how can I be happier and be a better version of myself? What am I worth to
myself and/or to my family? We take so much pride in our physical health, and yet
oftentimes our mental health seems to come last. How much better could I function in
the world if I was able to work on some of the issues I have in my life? Life is
challenging and there are people to help; to help consolidate your thoughts or help to
make a plan to move forward for positive change.
I am here to help and would love to be a part of your healing journey.

Looking for, finding, and connecting with a counsellor can seem overwhelming. We appreciate where you are, we know what that is like, and want to encourage you that you are brave. In our experience, it is so worth it; you are so worth it! You will never regret investing in yourself. Thank you for your time and courage.
