Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As your counsellor, I will explore your experiences through a neurodivergent-affirming lens and do not believe you need “fixing” in any way. Rather, I believe you have unique gifts to bring to the world. I help clients unpack what it's like to be neurodivergent in a neuro-normative society and develop the confidence and skills needed to navigate future challenges successfully. I am passionate about empowering clients to step into the truth of who they are unapologetically and with self acceptance. I support clients struggling with emotional regulation, overstimulation, relationships, self worth, and processing experiences of going undiagnosed and/or being misdiagnosed during your formative years. I offer in-person, virtual or walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you—head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation.

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.
