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.

Carl Malmsten
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CHyp
Over the last 6 decades decades I have had the opportunity to make significant mistakes, suffer and grow just like you. I have learned that success in life and relationships is about learning from these mistakes, and seeking support from people with experience, compassion, knowledge and life wisdom. I would be honoured to share the path with you and to walk together through the difficulties you have had, to a future with possibility, self acceptance and freedom.

Narrative
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
What if the way you see yourself isn’t the truth—but a story shaped by past wounds?
Our sense of self is shaped by early experiences, especially in relationships. If you grew up feeling unseen, unsafe, or unworthy, those feelings don’t just fade—they shape your choices, beliefs, and relationships. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. These patterns didn’t come from nowhere—they were ways your mind and body learned to cope. But they don’t have to define you.
Healing is possible. Using a relational, trauma-informed approach rooted in attachment theory, complex PTSD recovery, and memory reconsolidation, I help people rewrite the beliefs that keep them stuck. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s "wrong"—it’s about understanding and transforming the impact of what’s happened to you.
Together, we’ll explore the deeper patterns shaping your life, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion—not just managing symptoms, but truly healing at the core.
You deserve to feel safe, connected, and whole. If this resonates with you, let’s talk. Book a free consultation today.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I know how difficult it can be to navigate the complexities of life, especially when trauma, relationships, or identity issues weigh heavy on your heart. I’m here to offer you a safe, affirming space where you can begin the process of healing, at your own pace, and on your own terms.
Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of sexual trauma, exploring your LGBTQ+ identity, or simply seeking to understand the patterns in your life that no longer serve you, I am committed to walking beside you through every step of the journey. You don’t have to do this alone. In therapy with me, you’ll experience a unique blend of evidence-based therapies, creative techniques, and a deeply empathetic, collaborative approach. I’ll work with you to find what resonates, whether it’s EMDR, psychodynamic exploration, somatic therapy, meditation, or a combination of tools that evolve as your needs shift. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, meaning I always respect your pace, your boundaries, and your journey. We’ll create a space where your healing is not just possible, but empowered.
I offer flexible evening and late-night sessions, making it easier for you to prioritize your well-being—even with a busy schedule. My online practice allows me to meet you where you are, whether that’s through Zoom or telephone, and I’m fully committed to being present with you during our sessions—so you get the support you deserve when you need it most.
With over a decade in mental health, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals. From my early days supporting Haitian refugees abroad, to my experience working with neurodiverse young adults and seniors, I have helped people from many walks of life navigate complex emotions, trauma, and identity. While I specialize in sexual trauma and LGBTQ+ care, I believe healing is unique to each person—and I’m here to support you, no matter your background, experience, or life stage. Whether you’re exploring deep emotional patterns, working through trauma, or seeking more connection in your relationships, I’m committed to adapting my approach to meet your needs and helping you move forward at your own pace.
If you’re ready to begin this journey, take the first step today—together, we’ll find the path that works best for you. I’m here to help you heal, grow, and thrive.
