Join me in a virtual weekly support group for adults with ADHD or in an individual coaching session where we implement skills, tools, and strategies to support you in overcoming obstacles while reaching your goals and learning to thrive with ADHD. My own journey with an ADHD diagnosis, combined with my therapeutic expertise and specialized training in ADHD, has equipped me with valuable insights and tools to empower others to thrive amidst challenges.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
Personally, I understand what it is like to grow up in a difficult family which resulted in much trauma. As a young adult, I made a series of problematic choices which included abusive relationships, alcohol and drug abuse, and general neglect of myself. I realized that my trauma was not my fault but healing from it, so that I no longer suffered and passed that suffering onto others, was my responsibility. My wellness journey has been long and hard fought, and continues today and will forever more. The work is necessary, as all healing is possible. My hope is to share both my personal and professional knowledge and experiences with others to help guide them on their own journeys towards their own healing.

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.

Transversality Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors
At Transversality Counselling, we believe therapy is not about fixing what’s broken but about making room for what’s human.
We work from a trauma-informed, relational, feminist, and decolonial lens — always holding in mind that healing doesn’t happen in a straight line. It moves across languages, histories, relationships, and identities.
We offer individual, couples, and group counselling, as well as clinical supervision.
Our work is guided by compassion, cultural awareness, and respect for each person’s pace. Whether you are navigating trauma, grief, identity, or change, we meet you where you are — in English or Spanish — with care and curiosity.

Pamela Mekuz
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Q)
Sometimes we know something isn't quite right, but struggle to put into words what we're feeling or what needs to change. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on your own. I bring warmth, curiosity, and compassion to my work, along with a genuine interest in understanding what makes your experience unique. Together, we can explore what's keeping you stuck, gain new perspectives, and develop practical strategies to help you create meaningful change. I work with a nonprofit organization that provides free virtual counselling. If you've been considering therapy, I'd love the opportunity to connect and explore how I might support you.
