Self Esteem Therapists in Kelowna, BC

I offer counselling in the Okanagan and Kamloops, and virtually across BC, for youth and adults with ADHD, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-harm, trauma and issues with self-esteem, self-worth and perfectionism. I have special expertise in supporting post-secondary clients with school stress. I have a sense of genuine care for my clients and focus on building and maintaining a strong rapport throughout the counselling process. In a world of never ending societal pressures, I work with clients to help them begin to live more congruent lives that align with their true values.

Feeling the call to cultivate a deeper connection with yourself, rediscover your strengths and learn tools to live life more intentionally? Whether you're navigating anxiety, battling your inner critic, or feeling inundated by life's complexities, I’m here to help. My role is to guide, empower, and equip you with the insights and practical strategies to facilitate meaningful change. I take an integrative approach that welcomes you as you are, and is adapted to your unique needs and goals.

I help men that: bottle up emotions rather than communicate them; become overwhelmed with anxiety and anger; feel helpless and passive and thereby suppress their feelings; get lost and stuck in depression; struggle with low self-esteem; have tried counselling but never discovered the roots of their issues, found their progress to plateau, or were not able to gain anything from it; and who struggle to achieve deep, lasting changes in their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. If you resonate with any of the above, you are ready to stop talking in circles about your issues and start tackling your problems head-on to make real progress.

Anxiety, depression, learning better communication skills, toxic relationships, building self esteem, emotional regulation and processing, trauma, the responsibilities of life... It never seems to end. We all know we could take care of ourselves a little better. How? Together, through a non-judgmental space, we'll discover the stories you are telling yourself about your life and rewrite them to empower you and promote self-compassion in you, as well as sustainability for your future. We will also practice coping skills that help you to manage your everyday stressors and exceptional circumstances. Your wellbeing is my top priority.

Most of my practice focuses on helping adults (19+) with the following: self-esteem and confidence, anxiety, people pleasing, setting boundaries, navigating dysfunctional family relationships, perfectionism and procrastination, coping with severe exhaustion or burnout, feeling lost or unsure about the future, making big life decisions, and grief and loss.

Art therapy offers the opportunity to express yourself and explore your experiences through the use of materials, art making, and imagery.

Art Therapy can be helpful for processing stressful and traumatic experiences by offering a physical and tangible way to process these experiences.

I treat trauma - childhood, shock (eg. accidents, medical) and relational (eg. betrayal, bullying) utilizing IFS and EMDR. These models are experiential, not "talk therapy". I also offer Gottman Method couples counselling. While I see all adults, I have additional training in treating those suffering and addiction, their family members and adult children of alcoholics. Often, people impacted by addiction - their own or someone else's - carry the heavy burdens of shame, anxiety, low self-esteem and other extremely painful legacies. If you are ready to dive deeply into the roots of your distress, IFS and EMDR may be a fit for you.

70 years of life experience has been my best teacher (even though I have all the necessary professional training.) I have experienced loss when 2 spouses passed away from disease. I have won my own battles with cancer and addiction. I have raised 4 children, 2 step children (some with special needs) and now enjoy 12 grandchildren. I treat anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and anger by addressing the root of the problem - trauma. I am trained in EMDR, which is useful in healing PTSD (both childhood and adult trauma). Within minutes (not months) the pain of trauma can be permanently erased and people are less triggered in life.

Hi, I’m Aimee! I am a master's level Registered Clinical Counsellor. My goal as a therapist is to help people bring their actions into congruence with their values and beliefs. I aim to aid in an increase in self-esteem, and self-worth along with self efficacy while allowing clients to explore their competencies, their worthiness and deservingness to live and to love and accept all versions of themselves.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Clarity Counsellors have a minimum of a Master’s degree in the counselling field. This comes with 7 years of formal education, plus multiple practicums where skills are developed to ensure clients are getting the services they need. Our educations are supported by our own journeys, too. We have been there; explored sexuality, experienced trauma, lived through relationship breakdowns/heartbreak, built self-esteem, grieved a loss, and worked through difficult parenting situations. We know what the work is like, and how it feels to come out the other side. We want to help you do the same.

What if you could improve the quality of your life and your relationships by changing the way you think, feel and behave? I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, self esteem, stress, and anger issues, to do just that. I help individuals become aware of the thought patterns that keep them stuck and prevent them from living their life to the fullest. I show people how their thoughts, emotions and behaviours are linked and provide the necessary skills to change negative habits that have become normal over time.
