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.

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.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
If you're looking for long lasting change and finally breaking patterns, I'd love to support you. "Somatic counselling with Fiona is bringing change to my life in a powerful and profound way. I can't explain what exactly is happening inside me, it isn't the work I'm used to doing in counselling, and yet when the connection happens and release comes I feel like I have unloaded years worth of heavy emotions. My life is naturally shifting in ways that I never imagined possible, my body has started to process emotion differently, I am thinking about life differently, and I feel powerful. I am shifting in ways that I never imagined."

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Do you find yourself getting overwhelmed and overstimulated easily? Tend to overthink or feel anxious? Or perhaps you’ve been called “too sensitive” or emotional? Have you ever noticed that you take longer to process things, and need more downtime than others? If any of this resonates, you, like myself, might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and I’m so glad you’re here.
I understand how it feels to process things more deeply, to have a strong desire for purpose and meaning in the world and to connect to a spiritual practice. My mission is to help guide other sensitive souls embrace their sensitivity as a gift, and to step into their most authentic, confident and aligned version of themselves. I want to help you work with it rather than against it. I provide counselling for individuals and couples with a wide range of challenges including: anxiety, depression, healing trauma, relationship difficulties, spiritual/religious exploration, emotional regulation, life transitions, self esteem/self worth, disordered eating, personal growth and struggles related to neurodivergence (HSP, Autism, ASHD). We all need someone who embodies the phrase, “I see you, and I care”, and I’m honoured to have the opportunity to be that for my clients. Your inner experience matters.
I believe the world is a better place when more deep feeling, sensitive people feel comfortable and safe in their skin and I can’t wait to support you in this process. This work takes courage, trust and commitment, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to get curious about your inner world, and to start focusing your energy on your own well-being and healing, head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation. I offer in person, online and walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
Do you often feel responsible for maintaining harmony in your relationships or ensuring tasks are completed? You may be reliable and committed to doing things “the right way,” yet internally struggle with stress, exhaustion, self-judgment, and a sense of disconnection. If this resonates with you, you may often prioritize others, strive to prevent conflict, and conceal your deeper emotions, all while feeling the pressure to achieve more. While these traits can indicate strength and integrity, they can also lead to burnout, chronic stress or pain, disrupted sleep, and dissatisfaction in your relationships and accomplishments.
I specialize in supporting high-functioning individuals like you who want to preserve their values and sense of purpose while cultivating balance, self-compassion, and emotional wellness. My collaborative, mind-body approach can address areas such as boundaries, communication, stress management, self-judgment, sleep issues, chronic pain, emotional expression, and connections with others.
Together, we will create personalized strategies to help you protect your energy, enhance your relationships, and achieve lasting transformation without compromising your identity. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re the right match.

The Okanagan is British Columbia's lake-and-vineyard interior region, anchored by Kelowna and including Vernon, Penticton, and a string of lakeside communities that mix agriculture, wine tourism, and tech growth in one of Canada's most popular retirement destinations. The region's mental health picture includes seasonal tourism economy stress, wildfire and smoke-season anxiety after repeated severe fire years, and the isolation some newcomers and retirees feel after relocating. Therapy access centres on Kelowna's growing practitioner community, with Interior Health providing public services and telehealth extending reach across the valley's smaller communities.
