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.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I find clients are looking to understand themselves, to find reasons they struggle the way they do, and discover how they got where they are. We've all been influenced by our experiences, whether good or bad. Good healthy experiences give us the tools and confidence to navigate life, but what happens when our experiences have been far from good? A child experiencing abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect believes they deserve it or it's their fault, not knowing the adults in their lives are responsible to help them feel secure and confident. Negative childhood experiences often throw individuals into feeling too much responsibility, becoming people pleasers, carrying much shame and guilt, feeling like a burden, social awkwardness, experiencing cognitive distortions, depression, addictions, loss of identity, anxiety and panic disorders, inter-relational problems, lack of confidence, and a lack of boundaries. Clients need to know they're not to blame and there's hope to experience a healthier and purposeful life, the life they were meant to have. Clients need to know they belong, they matter and are not a mistake. If you want to find freedom, purpose, contentment, and healing schedule a 30 minute free consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to journey together to a better you.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counsellor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”
40 Years Experience
Online in Kelowna, BC (Online Only)
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.
