Chris Russell
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Psych, high honours, RCC
I have a deep affinity with this struggle in life, having been naturally drawn to people who have had these traumatic experiences. Find compassion for the self, and forgiveness for your abusers. I also understand that PTSD that past traumas can create for the survivor of childhood trauma.

Children and teens may struggle to express what they’re feeling, often showing it through behaviour or mood changes.

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.
