Your Story Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, CCC, RMFT, RSW, RP
All of us go through the winding footpaths of life and at one point in time experience moments that create long lasting impacts and changes in ourselves, our environment, and in the trajectory of our lives. Sometimes those experience can be positive, and sometimes they are negative. These negative experiences are we we define as traumatic events. Domestic Abuse and Violence are absolutely considered traumatic. Our therapists can help you identify the roots of your struggles and create a custom treatment plan to overcome them. Head over to our website to learn more!
The experience of trauma and traumatic events can be painful and excruciating. Sometimes these experiences leave us at more than just at a loss, but can continue to cause us pain and fear. These experiences can alter the way your mind works. Creating physical and emotional responses to triggers that remind you of your trauma. Even when you are unaware of these triggers, you can be left feeling overactive and hyper-vigilant to certain moments and interactions. The post traumatic consequences (often known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD) of these triggers is that you can feel like you are on constant alert to prevent future danger and pain; even when there is none to be presently found. If left untreated it can lead to one feeling loss and overwhelmed and increase rates of risky or dangerous behaviours (i.e. increased aggression and violence, increased substance use, increased physical and mental distress).
Our goal is help you heal. We offer a safe space and environment to begin the process of talking about your pain as a means to start processing what had happened to you. Talking about trauma doesn't always mean retelling your story. We work with each individual uniquely in order to find the path of healing that is more effective for them. We utilize a variety of techniques including a highly effective form of trauma therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help folks through this process in order to help you rediscover hope and empowerment. Understanding our past gives us an ability to take control what we want our future to look like. We believe that all people deserve to live a life free from fear and pain, all of us deserve a little help along the way.

Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
Domestic Abuse or violence are experiences that are very difficult to work through. Working with a therapist who has experience and calm with these issues are key. I see these situations as escalated patterns where a person often gets activated by another person, and reacts with a part of themselves that is an extreme protector. Others experience this a threat and react in a variety of ways they have learned to survive. I believe these patterns can be changed, and relationships can be repaired with effort, willingness to be vulnerable in the work to understand and shift reactivity to more clear and calm responses. I have supported individuals, couple and families make these changes.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
You're living through one of life's most painful and dangerous experiences. Before anything else, you need to feel truly heard, believed, and validated—not questioned or judged. Once we've established that safety, we'll create a practical plan to protect you moving forward, whether you're ready to leave or still figuring out your next step. Then, when you're ready, we'll gently explore how past trauma shaped the beliefs that made this relationship possible—the ways you learned to minimize yourself, doubt your reality, or accept the unacceptable. Healing is possible. Safety is possible. You deserve both, and I'll support every step forward.

Simone Merkl Marriage Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Domestic abuse or violence can be confusing and disheartening. I can help you to find clarity in your circumstances. I have experience and knowledge of power and control issues in relationships. Many people do not even understand what constitutes abusive. Abuse can come in many forms. It can mean intimidating your partner by not letting them feel heard or by making one afraid by looks, actions, gestures or displaying weapons. Emotional abuse can mean putting your partner down, making them feel bad about themselves, or calling them names. Over time these forms of abuse can be very damaging. If you are ready for a change and want peaceful resolutions, please feel free to contact me for a free 20-minute consultation today. I offer online sessions in Canada, BC. or in-person sessions in Langley or White Rock, BC.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
I have extensive experience facilitating group and one-on-one art therapy for survivors of domestic abuse. I understand how abuse can distort your sense of self, leaving you feeling disconnected or unheard. Art therapy provides a safe space to process complex emotions, express what feels difficult to put into words, and rebuild self-worth. Through creative expression, you can reclaim your voice, restore a sense of control, and reconnect with your inner strength. My trauma-informed approach integrates mindfulness and body-based practices, allowing you to process at your own pace while fostering resilience and empowerment.
