EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Are you grappling with the question, "How do I overcome this?" A common hurdle individuals often articulate when discussing emotional distress is feeling immobilized. If you're encountering difficulties progressing in your career, relationships, or rediscovering lost joy in life, you might be grappling with unresolved trauma or unaddressed attachment needs. These challenges can manifest physically, such as chronic pain, headaches, or fatigue. We take the time to empathize with your unique journey that has led you here.
You might be navigating through anxiety, depression, or intense emotions like fear or anger. Ultimately, you might feel disconnected and wrestle with existential questions about your beliefs or purpose. Our aim is to offer the support you need to move forward. We endeavour to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and how to authentically engage with the world around them.
Recognizing that addressing trauma requires vulnerability and emotional investment, we prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space for our clients. Our approach to trauma therapy is integrative, aiming for holistic healing. We follow a three-step process: 1) Building a comprehensive understanding of your experiences; 2) Crafting a personalized treatment plan; and 3) Assisting you in finding inner peace and resolution.

Inner Wisdom Counselling and Art Therapy (Tracey Gramm)
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC, EXAT, FOT, CDP
I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor serving Surrey, Cloverdale, Langley, South Surrey and White Rock. I also offer online services for remote clients. I work with children, teens and adults using art therapy, somatic based and body-centred modalities. I work more specifically with the Expressive Arts, Somatic Experiencing and Focusing Oriented Art Therapy – as an alternative to therapy predominantly focused on talking or verbal expression. I'm here to help you if you are invested in making a difference in your life through striving for personal growth and releasing old patterns of behavior that no longer serve you. To give you an idea of what its like to work with me - I possess a natural curiosity about my clients and focus on uncovering human limitations, through personal awareness and insight. I am a sensitive soul, considerate of your comfort level, and don’t push too far, when its not welcome. I challenge you to try something new and outside the box that has great potential to heal the soul and connect you to your heart.

Kristy Ricard
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MACP, HBSc
I'm Accepting NEW Clients! - Are you looking for support in navigating anxious thoughts or feelings, or what feels like a dark cloud following you around? Are you tired of feeling like you’re not enough, or like the standards expected are exhausting to meet? Is a new life change causing stress or needing exploring? Do you feel burdened by obsessive thinking, or difficulties with food and body image? Are there relationships in your life that you’d like to explore, or better understand how you feel when around others? Are you simply hoping to build self-awareness or coping strategies?
I'll help create the space for you to gain insight, learn new strategies and skills, and explore the thoughts and feelings that currently take over your before, now, and future. We'll aim to move you towards feeling more confident in your ability to handle things, and meet your therapy goals.
It's normal if reaching out feels scary. I've worked with individuals in public, athletics, and private health settings, and i'm looking forward to connecting with you. I offer text, phone, virtual, and Walk & Talk Sessions in Chilliwack (outdoor therapy).
