David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Growing up can feel overwhelming, especially with the pressure from school, friendships, family expectations, identity, and social media. Many children and adolescents carry more stress, anxiety, and self-doubt than the adults around them may realize, often struggling quietly while trying to fit in, meet expectations, or figure out who they are becoming.
I aim to create a calm, supportive, and approachable space where young people feel comfortable expressing themselves openly without fear of judgment or pressure. Whether they are struggling with confidence, emotional regulation, stress, relationships, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others, my goal is to help them feel heard, understood, and supported as they work through challenges at a pace that feels manageable for them.

Chris Russell
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Psych, high honours, RCC
I have a deep affinity with this struggle in life, having been naturally drawn to people who have had these traumatic experiences. Find compassion for the self, and forgiveness for your abusers. I also understand that PTSD that past traumas can create for the survivor of childhood trauma.

Abbotsford is a Fraser Valley city bordering Washington state with a character shaped by its strong Mennonite and evangelical Christian heritage, a large Punjabi Sikh community that has made it home to one of Canada's most prominent South Asian populations outside the Vancouver core, and a rapidly growing suburban economy that has attracted families priced out of Metro Vancouver. University of the Fraser Valley offers psychology and counselling programs that contribute to the local mental health workforce, and Fraser Health provides public mental health services to the region. Mental health stigma has historically been significant in some of Abbotsford's religious and cultural communities, and faith-integrated therapy and culturally competent care—particularly for South Asian clients—are important considerations in the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family conflict, cultural identity, anxiety, economic stress, and the adjustment challenges of a community navigating the tension between traditional roots and rapid modern growth.
