Our services are designed to address a variety of issues with evidence-based, client-centered approaches to ensure effective and compassionate care.
Our practice supports children and adolescents aged 11 to 19, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal ideation, parent-teen conflict, peer relationships, and trauma. We provide a safe and supportive environment to help youth recognize their worth and work through their challenges. Using EMDR therapy, talk therapy, and psychoeducation, we empower them to build self-confidence, set healthy boundaries, and achieve positive change.
We assist adults dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship
issues, childhood abuse and trauma, domestic violence, eating disorders, and sexual assault. Our approach involves creating a safe and supportive space to process difficult issues, validate emotions, and build self-awareness. We help clients recognize their strengths and develop resilience to take charge of their lives and face their challenges effectively. Using EMDR therapy, or CBT, or DBT, mindfulness practice, and psycho-education, we empower clients to realize their true potential.
Our family counselling services address relationship issues, domestic violence, and family unit breakdowns. We use a family systems approach incorporating attachment theory and Gottman relationship skills. We empower each family member, especially children and adolescents, to communicate effectively and contribute to a respectful and nurturing home environment.
We offer trauma-informed therapy for First Nations and Indigenous
individuals, addressing systemic racism, discrimination, and historical trauma. Our holistic, strength-based approach integrates Dr. Martin Brokenleg’s Circle of Courage model to support clients’ mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. We also offer clinical counselling for residential and day school survivors and those experiencing intergenerational trauma. Charlaine’s professional experience working with Cree and Sto:lo communities and receiving guidance from elders informs her practice. Rajvinder and Charlaine also completed the cultural training required by FNHA.
Our group counselling programs focus on personal and social concerns, enhancing interpersonal skills, managing emotions, and improving problem-solving strategies. We use psychoeducational and therapeutic group processes to support members in developing effective living skills. Programs include Connect Parent groups and support groups for partners of law enforcement officers.
Since 2001, we have facilitated groups for First Nations members, integrating traditional storytelling, song, and therapeutic processes. We provide holistic, client-centered group facilitation that respects cultural and spiritual beliefs. Our programs support growth and healing from trauma, grief, and loss.
Charlaine’s 35+ years of experience as the wife of an RCMP member (now retired) enables her to deeply understand how the life of a police officer impacts not only the officers themselves but also their spouses and families. She recognizes how the symptoms of Operational Stress Injury (OSI) and PTSD affect family dynamics, often placing the spouse in the role of the glue that holds everything together. Charlaine’s extensive training and personal experience inform her ability to guide you through your healing journey.
We offer a strength-based group counselling program specifically designed for partners and spouses of law enforcement officers. This program addresses the unique challenges faced by these individuals, including stress management, self-care, and communication skills. It provides a supportive environment where participants can share experiences, learn coping strategies, and build resilience together.
