WE OFFER SERVICES IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
We are pleased to offer counselling services in Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, French, Asante (Twi) and English to meet the diverse needs of the Surrey, Langley, Delta and Vancouver communities .
WE ARE SPECIALIZED
Our team has been carefully selected to provide high-quality and evidence-based trauma-informed therapy. We work with a diversity of issues and the effects of traumatic life experiences - such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relational issues - but the way that we do therapy is always informed by our foundational understanding of trauma and how it impacts our brains, bodies, lives and relationships. We are unified in our approaches to counselling and our commitment to seeing our clients’ lives changed for the better.
WE ARE GROWTH ORIENTED
We believe in promoting growth and positive change, not just eliminating pain and reducing symptoms. Therapy isn’t only about getting rid of what’s “bad,” it can also about intentionally cultivating what’s “good:” improving relationships, discovering meaning and purpose, having more fun and creating a sense of ease and enjoyment.
WE ARE RELATIONAL
We believe that meaningful connections with ourselves and others are at the core of a successful life. Experiences of stress and trauma cause disruption and disconnection, making us feel lost and isolated even if there are caring people in our lives. Our job is to understand where your relationships went wrong, and then walk alongside you as we find ways to remedy them. We are passionate about pairing people with the perfect counsellor and getting them the quality counselling they deserve. We put a priority on the relationship between therapist and client.
WE TAKE AN INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH
Life is complicated and people are complex, so we don’t take a “one-size-fits-all approach.” We understand that in order to help you, we need to really understand you - your present circumstances, your previous experiences, and your desired future — and build an individualized counselling treatment plan for your unique strengths, challenges, and goals.
WE ARE RESULT-FOCUSED
We won’t let you show up week after week and just vent about the same problems while we sit back and passively listen. While we do believe in listening, we want to take an active and intentional approach. We offer our clients strategies for work towards their goals, both in and out of counselling sessions. We will integrate both mind and body-based therapies to help you achieve the change you’re looking for, and closer to the life you’ve imagined.
WE ARE HONEST
We believe in being effective and ethical. If we don’t have a counsellor that specializes in the issues you’re looking for help with, we are happy to connect you with counsellors in our community that do.
WE ARE ALWAYS LEARNING
We like to stay up-to-date, constantly improving our skills and expanding our understanding. We are always looking for what we can learn, and studying new approaches we can bring to your therapy. The field of trauma therapy is rapidly evolving, and so are we. As we learn more about the impacts of stressful experiences, we discover new ways to address the issues that accompany them. We strive to be on the cutting edge of innovative and evidence-based trauma therapies.
