Cassidy is not currently accepting new clients

Cassidy works with clients aged 16+

Cassidy grew up in Fraser Lake, B.C. and relocated to Prince George in 2015. After several years of working in the beauty industry, she discovered what she loved most was connecting with her clients and providing them a space to feel heard. This led Cassidy to pursue this atmosphere for individuals at a deeper level. She has earned a Diploma of Applied Psychology and Counselling and is a Registered Professional Counsellor Candidate (RPC-C).

When supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, loss, body image and eating challenges, Cassidy uses a person-centered, attachment, and emotion focused therapy approach.

Cassidy has taken additional training in working with clients who experience eating disorders, and plans on expanding her education in this area further.

I work with clients aged 16+

After being injured in a car accident, I had to re-adjust my life and career goals, and counselling felt like a natural progression. I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology and Trauma Counselling Certification.

I collaborate with clients as equals, working together to discover how they can THRIVE instead of just survive big live events such as:

Severe injury, illness or new disability

Pregnancy, Infertility, IVF and Parenthood

Job, housing or financial loss

Abuse, neglect or violence (witness or survivor)

Loss of a loved one (including pets)

Gender and Sexuality exploration

I am trained in emotion-focused, narrative, cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, and solution-focused brief therapy models and work from an anti-oppression, fat positive and body neutrality perspective. I will honour your unique experiences, and use an eclectic mix of these approaches throughout the therapy journey.

Olga’s caseload is full and she is currently taking a waitlist. She works with clients aged 16+

Olga is a long-time resident of Prince George. She had a successful career in the beauty industry for many years as a stylist, educator and a salon owner. While honing her skills of creating relationships and connecting with clients, she realized her passion for helping people, not only on the outside, but more importantly, on the inside. Olga’s compassion and empathetic personality helped her create a safe space where clients would share. To this end, she felt compelled to want to help in a more meaningful way and her love of research led her to return to school. She decided to change careers and further her education, initially earning her Bachelor’s in English and completing a year of the Education program. This wasn’t quite the right fit, so she carried on and subsequently completed her MEd in Counselling at UNBC. Olga has extensive experience in managing mental health and addictions. She has trained with Gabor Mate in Compassionate Inquiry. She has a person-centred, trauma-informed, narrative therapy approach. She has specialized training in Emotional Focused Therapy for individuals, couples and family. She is a dedicated professional, committed to helping her clients co-create healing and find peace so they are able to live their best life and reach their full potential.

Keya works with adults 18+ I believe clients are the experts in their own lives. In our sessions, we can create a space for reflection, exploration, growth and acceptance. I often take an anti-oppressive approach and seek to understand clients within their environmental contexts. I have always been curious about understanding the human experience, which led me to complete a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Simon Fraser University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC). At UNBC, I counselled students and co-facilitated a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction group as well as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy anxiety group. I am interested in the benefits of using mindfulness techniques to support awareness and grounding. My primary career focus has been supporting older adults and their caregivers as they transition to Complex Care. I have worked with families experiencing major life transitions, family system reorganization, caregiver stress as well as grief and loss. Providing support to families with complex dynamics has led me to be begin training in Emotionally Focused Therapy with a specific interest in families. Overall, I strongly believe clients are resilient and capable. I am committed to supporting clients to live creative and empowered lives.

Callista is not taking new clients at this time. Callista works with clients aged 18+ and couples. My name is Callista Vagt and I am an advocate for destigmatizing mental health in our community. This involves not only supporting those that struggle to maintain good mental health, but also talking openly about the challenges. Additionally, I advocate for Prince George to support the arts, hiking and biking trails, and community events, all of which have been proven by research to create good mental health in a community.

I completed the Masters in Education Counselling at UNBC. I was exceptionally grateful to be mentored by both Dr Linda O’Neill and noted couple’s counsellor Dr. John Sherry.

I gravitate toward trauma survivors and their loved ones, likely because I have seen how difficult it can be to find adequate care, but I truly enjoy working with all humans. I keep myself mentally regulated with outdoor activities, an awareness of my own desire to help others, and a firm belief in brain plasticity, all concepts I love to share with my clients if they are curious.

I adhere to the Rogerian theory that states that “everyone is the expert in their own lives”, and I direct my counselling approach to what works for my clients. That being said, I am especially excited to share concepts and somatic exercises that have their roots in Emotionally Focused, Attachment, and Narrative theories.

Being a survivor of my own mental health challenges allows me a unique perspective of what hope can look like and how to find it. No one is a problem to be fixed, no matter the past trauma or present issues. I hope to communicate this to every client I encounter and help them to develop their own self awareness and personal compassion.
