Ida Uzelman
Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC-P, RTC
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted? You are not alone. Hi, I’m Ida. I offer trauma-informed counselling to help clients gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change. Trained in Vancouver and based in Kelowna for 30 years, I support individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, and life transitions. I foster resilience in a compassionate, confidential, and non-judgmental space. Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes.
It won’t always feel this painful. I would be honoured to walk alongside you on this important journey called life. A free 15-minute consultation is available if you have questions or would like to see if we are a good fit. Call now.

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.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Many of the adults I work with feel stuck in patterns shaped by complex trauma and early relationships. You may notice this showing up as persistent anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or relationship cycles that feel difficult to break—even when you intellectually understand them.
Together, we gently explore the roots of these patterns and how they developed. As these survival strategies begin to make sense, you can move toward a greater sense of clarity, internal stability, and a more compassionate way of relating to yourself and others.

I am an optimistic and accepting therapist, enthusiastic about working with clients in collaborative ways, seeking to uncover and understand, and finding new ways of changing your life and living with fulfilling and rewarding relationships, families and friends.

Kelowna is British Columbia's Okanagan Valley hub, a lakeside city whose combination of wine tourism, outdoor recreation, and rapid real estate growth has transformed it into one of BC's most sought-after places to live, with a correspondingly growing demand for mental health services. Interior Health provides public mental health services to the region, and a growing private therapy sector serves the city's mix of retirees, young families, tech workers, and seasonal residents. Wildfire risk has become an increasingly prominent source of climate anxiety and community stress as BC's fire seasons have intensified, and several local therapists have developed expertise in disaster trauma and environmental grief. Common therapy concerns include relocation and life transition stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the financial pressure of living in a market where housing costs have risen dramatically.
