MSW, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Counselling For Individuals, Couples & Families, From Conflict To Connection, Flexible Schedule, Free Initial Consultation, Psychologist, Mental Health Service
At Lindy Devine Counselling in Nanaimo, I have been working as a counsellor for 19 years with a focus on addiction and trauma issues. They often go hand-in-hand but not always. My work is very respectful, as I acknowledge that you know yourself best. Most people seek out counselling because they are stuck in old patterns they have outgrown, yet they need help to move forward in a new, more helpful way. I appreciate the courage it takes to reach out and I will work hard to help you make the changes you desire. My counselling and trauma healing is from a somatic perspective. I completed the Somatic Experiencing professional training in 2004. Working with the wisdom of the body enhances positive outcomes that one cannot get from talk therapy alone. I am a contractor with the Responsible and Problem Gambling program and offer FREE gambling counselling to those impacted by gambling issues. A range of services are available including individual, couples, support group and day treatment.
I have learned much from my personal experience, professional training, and helping individuals and couples like you navigate life's challanges.If you are serious improving your relationship, then now is the time to get the support that a professional can provide. Invest in yourself and your relationship, you'll be glad you did!People come to see me because they want something to change. They have been trying to change on their own, sometimes for decades and still feel unsatisfied.Trying to figure out how to make the change we want to happen on our own often leads to frustration, disappointment, and settling for less than a fully satisfying life.We may feel conflicted within ourselves, in our relationships, unsatisfied, empty at times, or anxious situations.
