Reema Qamar, Counselor/Therapist in Maple Ridge, BC

CFT

Our life experiences—especially those marked by adversity, trauma, loss, or difficult relationships—shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. When painful experiences remain unresolved, they can contribute to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, persistent rumination, and deeply ingrained negative thinking patterns. Many people find themselves feeling disconnected from who they truly are, struggling to trust themselves, build healthy relationships, or find peace in the present. My passion is helping individuals reconnect with themselves, heal from the impact of adverse life experiences, and cultivate a life guided by self-compassion, resilience, and authenticity. I understand that healing is not about "getting over" what has happened—it is about understanding how your experiences have shaped you, making sense of your emotional responses, and developing new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others. I believe that much of our emotional suffering arises when we struggle to reconcile the gap between our lived reality and our expectations of ourselves, others, or life itself. Over time, this struggle can lead to self-criticism, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and a sense of disconnection. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, helping you move away from surviving and toward genuinely living. Whether you are coping with the effects of childhood adversity, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or a persistent inner critic, I will walk alongside you with compassion, empathy, and respect. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen emotional resilience, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and replace cycles of rumination and self-doubt with greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence. I believe every individual is the expert on their own life and already possesses the capacity for growth and healing. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to create a safe, collaborative, and trusting therapeutic relationship where your strengths, values, and inner wisdom can emerge. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, honouring your experiences while helping you build practical tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and emotional balance. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy is a space where you can bring your whole self—your fears, hopes, struggles, and strengths—and know that you will be met with compassion, validation, and genuine care. Healing is a journey, and you do not have to walk it alone.

Darren Williamson

Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)

My goal in counselling is to help you to find what's missing in your life. Perhaps it is issues with identity, or ongoing conflicts in relationships, or a feeling of "stuckness." Mutual respect and trust are vital components to our work together. I offer a unique setting where we can work through the topics you bring in a non-judgmental way.

Darbey Carlson

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, MSc, RYT-200, ADHD-CCSP

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Do you ever feel "stuck" in your daily life or unsure of how to go forward in a way that makes you happy? Do you feel as if your past experiences are dragging you down, or as if you're looking out the window into a fog that won't lift? Is there a relationship with yourself or others that you'd like to strengthen? We can discuss the steps that have led you to this point, as well as the steps you would like to take in the future to improve your well-being. I am passionate about treating each individual I meet as someone with unique therapeutic needs, and I would love to hear from you.

Melissa Kaylee De Pace

Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), CNP, M.A

I believe meaningful therapy looks beyond the surface. Sometimes you already know what you should be doing, the harder part is understanding what keeps getting in the way. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, relationships, emotional experiences, and nervous system responses that may be contributing to how you feel, while building the insight and tools to create meaningful change. My approach is integrative by design. With a background in psychology, nutrition, and holistic wellness, I view emotional well-being through a whole-person lens, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, nervous system, relationships, daily habits, and life experiences. Rather than relying on one therapeutic model, I draw primarily from relational and attachment-based therapy while integrating approaches such as IFS, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and nervous-system regulation based on your individual needs.
