Patricia Curtiss, B.T.M, M.A. Counselling Psychology, Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)

*Serving Clients in BC, AB, MB, SK, NT, YK, & NT (where permitted by Inter-Provincial Practice)*

For many, life feels particularly hard right now. Relationship changes, career shifts, grief and loss; all these challenges can send an otherwise stable life into a tailspin. Endless negative news cycles create added stress and anxiety. The weight of this can feel unbearable. To top it off, maybe you are shouldering these burdens all on your own. We have all been there, spinning endlessly without focus, unable to even recall what we accomplished yesterday. Though it may not feel like it, I assure you there is hope.

You need a supportive and compassionate space to process your experiences, build resilience, and discover practical coping strategies. If you want to find meaning in your experiences, enhance your emotional intelligence, and foster healthier relationships, then you have come to the right place.

I bring a unique perspective to my counselling practice, drawing on my two master’s degrees: one in Counselling Psychology and another in Organizational Systems. My holistic approach integrates mindfulness-based interventions, cognitive-behavioural strategies and somatic awareness techniques to address the interconnectedness of mind and body.

Ultimately, you want to feel grounded, connected, and empowered in your life, and driven by a desire to cultivate inner peace and authenticity. Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, build healthier coping strategies, and help you reconnect with your true self.

Let’s collaborate on a path to healing and growth that feels authentic to you. I invite you to click the Get Started Now button, ask for Patricia, and take the first step to creating positive change in your life.
