Kelowna Trauma and Life Therapy
In Person & Online Counselling: Supporting You Every Step of the Way
Here at Kelowna Trauma and Life Therapy, our mission is to provide effective care to help you find relief, foster personal growth, and navigate life's challenges—whether you're facing significant struggles, seeking guidance for everyday life, or looking to enhance your personal development. Through an integrative approach and evidence-based modalities, we will forge a clear path for inner healing and support you in your personal development journey. Our team offers trauma therapy and life counselling to adults, youth, and families in Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Peachland, and the Greater Okanagan area.
Hurting is part of human nature. We live, love, fall, and get back up again. Yet, healing is a journey that looks different for everyone. While some of us can surf turbulent waters and navigate painful moments, others wander and struggle to make it to shore.
You may have lost a family member or someone dear to you but haven’t been able to grieve. Perhaps you survived a dangerous event or violent incident and keep reliving the episode over and over again. You might have endured an abusive relationship that still weighs heavily on you. Or maybe you’re simply seeking guidance to overcome everyday life stressors, build better relationships, or achieve your personal goals.
No matter how big or small, trauma or life challenges can leave you feeling stuck.
But with professional help, healing and growth are possible.
If you feel lost, overwhelmed by all the treatment options out there, or want to help a loved one who’s struggling, we are here for you. Contact us to book a free consultation or schedule a trauma therapy or life counselling session today.

You Deserve to Have Your Life Back
If you’re like many of our clients, you’ve experienced trauma in your life (maybe recently, or maybe way back when you were a child) and you’ve reached a point where you know you need to do something about it.
Perhaps you’ve tried other types of therapy, medication, meditation, “self-care”, and yet nothing seems to be working.
Perhaps you feel hopeless about your life, agitated, sleepless, depressed, anxious, or even suicidal.
Maybe you always feel like you have to look over your shoulder, even if you don’t know why.
Regardless of exactly how you experience the effects of trauma in your life, one thing is clear: you deserve to have your life back.
You deserve to be free from anxiety and depression.
You deserve to have hope. You deserve to be at rest.
And yet, when you look at trauma therapies, how do you know which ones are right for you?
Choosing a therapy that is actually right for you, at this moment, with your own unique symptoms and challenges, is like trying to shoot an arrow in the dark. You might find the one that’s right for you, but you’re even more likely to spend a bunch of time and money without getting the results that you want and deserve.
Our Approach
That’s where we come in. Based on our experience and all available evidence, we know that you already have the internal resources that you need to heal from trauma. Our job is to help you find your way to that healing, using proven therapeutic methods.
We use a combination of EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Walk and Talk, and Neurofeedback, and tailor your treatment plan uniquely to you and your specific needs.
We are not generalists; we focus specifically on helping to heal trauma, whether “big” or “small.”
