Krystal Sarasin

Krystal is a Functional Nutrition Therapist, which is a career that has become her calling, after she made an incredible recovery from debilitating symptoms and 4 rare chronic illnesses. Through her own health journey, Krystal has become passionate about treating mental health and illness differently. Her therapy is based on her background in psychology, mental health and trauma, along with the principals of Functional Medicine and Functional Nutrition. It is deeply rooted in scientific evidence. She emphasizes a natural approach to restoring optimal functioning in your body and works to resolve the root cause, not chase symptoms! She focuses on nourishment, not diets, and adding in, not restricting. Food is medicine. Mindset is medicine. Lifestyle is medicine. Together, we have the power to restore, balance, heal and create. When she is not in the clinic, Krystal can be found spending time with her amazing family, outside in nature, being active, cultivating balance, loving and appreciating life like never before.

Greg Wiebe

In today’s busy world it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or avoid experiences that steal our joy. Life can be unpredictable, and it’s so disheartening to feel disconnected from others or even ourselves, which is where a genuine connection in a counselling relationship can help. I favor Rogerian, Adlerian, Existential, Gestalt, IFS, EFT, and Psychodynamic counselling frameworks in, while also integrating CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Rosenberg’s Non-Violent Communication. Having worked with trauma-survivors from various sociocultural backgrounds for several years, I am characteristically trauma-attuned, culturally responsive, and integrate and inform clients of relevant findings in neuroscience. I have supported people of various faiths, including those who experience faith-deconstruction, and have considerable  experience helping recipients of psychedelic-assisted treatments to integrate their insights and experiences. I’m active, adventurous, love to travel, have become very familiar with grief and loss, and yet maintain a robust faith and spirituality.  Everyone struggles to make sense of certain problems on their own – at least sometimes… but perhaps together, we can help you to live more of your life by those things that matter most and achieve some momentum towards those things that you’ve been longing for.

If this seems right for you, then let’s connect…

Sara Laity

I have lived and worked in Prince George for 25 years. Having completed a Masters degree in Counselling, I have had the privilege of working in several different areas over the years including social assistance, homelessness, addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychosis, eating disorders, and autism. Trauma has often been an underlying theme for people I have worked with and I have developed a deep interest in learning how trauma effects the brain and nervous system and the various ways that people can find healing and relief. I am passionate about supporting and walking alongside others as they strive toward healing and wholeness. I am trained in EMDR and Lifespan Integration Therapy, I also draw from other therapeutic approaches in my work including Somatic Experiencing, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, CBT,DBT and ACT. Additionally, I have spent the last few years working with several neurodiverse women gaining further knowledge and experience of how autism often presents differently in girls and women and how better to support them.

Miranda Gratten

Miranda offers a focussed approach for in-person counselling in Somatic Experiencing, a body-orientated therapeutic model that helps to heal trauma and other conditions related to stress. She has deep respect for the unique wisdom, insight, strengths, and internal/external resources that the people she works with bring to their lives and the process of healing or change. She holds care & respect for the beautiful and unceded ancestral lands, culture and people of the Lheidli T’enneh. Miranda is registered with the British Columbia College of Social Workers (#13881), & has over 10 years of experience working with children, youth, adults, families, and professional communities in various areas of focus, including mental health, substance use, grief, chronic stress, and trauma. She is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) after completing the 3-year program with Somatic Experiencing International (SEI). SEI is the leading authority on the Somatic Experiencing method. Miranda is also a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT), which is an internationally respected organization supporting quality assurance in the practice, research, and teaching of Motivational Interviewing; a strengths-based person-centered counselling modality. Outside of work, Miranda has a deep love for family, friends that have become family, travel adventures, photography, paddle boarding, and being outdoors.

Leanne Dyck, BA (honours), MACP

This might include trauma, childhood wounds, or unhelpful patterns of thinking or behaving impacting if you can flourish today. Symptoms of distress in everyday life like anxiety or depression can provide powerful clues about where we need to focus our healing exploration. I also provide tools for understanding our body’s responses to stress & ways to cope with the daily challenges while doing deep processing of past wounds. I am trained as a Level II EMDR therapist – a well-researched, body-based power therapy that helps you work through trauma with safety, support, & effectiveness. As a person of deep faith, a mother of 4 young adults, and wife of a pastor for 27 years, I offer experience in many elements of life’s journey. I integrate counselling modalities like CBT, polyvagal theory, & internal family systems for clients with neurodiversity, couples, children & teens. Each client is a unique and amazing individual, worthy of the time & effort to explore and transform areas of challenge to places of growth & health—How can I join you on your healing journey?

Karen Haseldine

Everyone has struggles, yet each person is capable of growth and healing. As a counsellor, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard and understood and to help individuals recognize their potential by deepening their self-awareness.

I am a student member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors and completed my MA in Counseling Psychology coursework through Yorkville University, currently fulfilling the practicum requirements. For over twenty years, I taught in elementary schools across British Columbia. While I love teaching, my transition to counselling has been driven by a desire to support individuals on their mental health and wellness journeys.

My special interests are
● Coping with anxiety & stress
● Depression
● Neurodivergence
● Relationship and Communication Skills
● Trauma

I look forward to working with children (ages 7+), teens, adults, couples, families and groups. In my personal life, I enjoy being active in the outdoors, gardening, and spending time with my loved ones and my dogs. Clinically Supervised by Tanya Bedford and Nancy Alexander

Johan Greyling, MA (Psychology)

My recent shift from organizational psychology towards individual counselling and becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) allows me to offer advice and support for not only workplace issues like stress, conflict, and career decision-making, but also those stressors so commonly experienced in marriage, parenting, grief and loss, interpersonal communication, spirituality and trauma.

While incorporating a range of theories and techniques, including but not limited to Adlerian, Christian counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT), Couples therapy, Satir, Polyvagal, and Gestalt therapies, my preferred integrative approach is to facilitate client-led exploration and resolution of problems in a secure environment while tailoring the counselling to meet the specific needs of each client.

Additional areas of my practice include general anxiety, depression, couples pre-marriage and marriage counselling, men’s emotional issues, and highly sensitive person emotional challenges (HSP). Overall, my particular passion lies in supporting people through emotional and mental health difficulties by fostering a non-judgmental environment and providing empathetic support.

Reach out to me if you find yourself unable to face life’s challenges, and together we’ll sort out those issues that are preventing you from living life to the fullest.
