Ida Uzelman
Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC-P, RTC
Parenting can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences, but it also comes with challenges, uncertainty, and moments of self-doubt. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where parents can explore strategies for effective communication, boundary-setting, and nurturing relationships with their children. Together, we focus on building confidence, managing stress, and creating a family environment that supports both your child’s growth and your own well-being.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
I love to work with parents who are struggling to parent their children. We'll look for patterns that come from root issues that may be impeding clients' ability to parent. Psychoeducation is important in this area so new skills can be developed. I supply parenting resources and believe the connection and attachment we develop with our children early in their lives creates a calm well adjusted child.
23 Years Experience
Online in Kelowna, BC
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.
