Hi, I’m Samantha.

I am a Certified Clinical Counsellor with a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Spirituality with a specialization in Art Therapy. Aiding neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQ+ folks in communicating, connecting and self actualizing is my passion.

I often support folks with: - Gender/identity exploration - Non verbal support and creative self expression - Self-esteem issues and perfectionism - Emotional regulation including anger management, anxiety and depression - Improving executive function (motivation, task initiation, time management) - Masking and authentic connection - Life path and values exploration - Professional development

My main approach is through art therapy, which is a useful tool for self expression, exploration and communication. It can help us to interpret, express and resolve emotions and thoughts. Collaborative art can also be a fun way to build connections between partners or family members.

I maintain a safe and nonjudgemental space in which you can build connections, explore their values/identities, and deconstruct conflict. My practice is solution-focused, humanistic, and is informed by systems theory and psychodynamic theory.

I look forward to accompanying you on your journey!

Hi, I’m Ashley.

Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, but it’s also a meaningful step toward the kind of change you want in your life. I believe growth happens when we meet ourselves with kindness and curiosity, rather than judgment.

In our work together, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where we move at your pace. I’ll support you in exploring your experiences, making sense of what you’re carrying, and building tools to care for yourself in ways that feel sustainable.

I work with youth, individuals, and couples, with a focus on helping you navigate relationship dynamics, emotional regulation, trauma, and ADHD-related challenges. Whether you’re working through conflict, feeling disconnected, or managing overwhelm and executive functioning struggles, I’ll walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and practical tools.

I draw on narrative therapy, mindfulness, somatic interventions, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and EMDR to guide our work. My approach is collaborative and attuned, grounded in the belief that healing and insight are possible when we feel safe enough to turn inward.

Some areas I can support include: - ADHD-related challenges (focus, overwhelm, self-criticism, executive functioning) - Relationship concerns (communication, boundaries, repair work) - Trauma - Emotional regulation - Anxiety and mood-related struggles

​If you’re curious about starting counselling or wondering whether we’d be a good fit, I’d be happy to connect as you build a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me curled up with a good book or thriller series, doting on my plants, or starting and stopping my running journey.

Hi, I’m Suzanne.

You are the expert in your own life, and already hold deep insight into your strengths, your needs, and what matters most to you. I aim to offer space and support as you reconnect with that clarity.

My approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, 2SLGBTQ+ affirming and grounded in feminist, anti-racist, and anti-colonial perspectives. In our work together, I aim to create a collaborative and non-judgmental space - where you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out. I tend to balance practical support (like communication tools, boundary-setting, and emotional regulation) with a deeper curiosity about your patterns and relationships, so that change can feel meaningful and sustainable.

I support adult clients with: - Individual and relationship counselling (couples and adult family members) - Emotional regulation, anger, grief, anxiety, and depression - Self-esteem, perfectionism, and burnout - Life transitions and identity exploration - Chronic illness and navigating health challenges - Intimate partner violence and family dynamics - Body image, food, and disordered eating

My background includes a Master of Arts in Latin American Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and Sociology, along with training in Narrative Therapy Certificate Trainings Levels I & II, and completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

Outside of my work, you’ll often find me outdoors - cycling, walking, hiking, swimming, or hanging out with my child and dancing!

Hi, I’m Leah,

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Canadian Certified Counsellor, and ADHD Coach based in Lantzville.

Since 2008, I’ve supported children, youth, and families as a teacher and counsellor in public education. More recently, I’ve worked with post-secondary students and adults navigating academic, career, and life transitions. I love helping you better understand yourself, move through challenges, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and culturally responsive care. I strive to create a space where you can feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

I work with both neurodivergent and neurotypical clients, drawing on experience in counselling, education, crisis response, and career development. Together, we build self-awareness, strengthen coping strategies, and develop practical tools that fit your life.

Some areas I commonly support include: - ADHD and executive functioning - Academic and career transitions - Anxiety, emotional regulation, and stress - Communication and healthy boundaries - Self-esteem, perfectionism, and values exploration - Nervous system regulation and holistic well-being

I also offer Walk & Talk Counselling and Coaching in Lantzville and select Nanaimo locations for clients who enjoy the benefits of movement and nature during sessions.

Outside of work, I find joy in the simple moments: exploring Vancouver Island’s winding trails beneath towering trees, filling my home with the aromas of a new recipe, and cheering from the sidelines as my children grow, learn, and find their place in the world. _ _ _ _ _ Please note that sliding scale appointments are not currently available with Leah.

Hi, I’m Ping.

I am both a physician (MD) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor, passionate about integrating mind and body to support you on your holistic journey toward recovery and well-being. My goal is to create a space where individuals, couples, and families feel heard, understood, and empowered. I help you navigate challenges related to grief, family dynamics, marital strife, ADHD, work and life transitions, and social adaptation.

With over a decade of experience in human resources, I’ve developed a deep understanding of disability and the duty to accommodate within various Canadian organizations. This experience has shaped my holistic approach to therapy, ensuring that each person’s unique experiences, needs, and goals are at the forefront of our work together.

External pressures and negative internal narratives can often leave you feeling overwhelmed. In our sessions, I guide with empathy, taking the role of your co-pilot as we navigate your journey to healing. Together, we work towards improving your overall wellness, finding the tools and strategies that work best for you to regain balance and move forward with confidence.
