Alex Sadlowski

I support people to better understand who they are and what they need in life to feel whole. Our therapy together can help you explore and understand the past, live in the present, and build for a meaningful future.

My counselling approach is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a modality about helping you stop fighting with your thoughts and feelings to focus on what really matters to you. I have experience with relationship struggles, grief, ADHD, trauma, and addiction.

Sarah Larson

I enjoy working with men to explore their personal narratives and how these stories have influenced their sense of identity and emotional wellbeing. I offer a unique multi-cultural perspective, influenced by work experience and living abroad. This mindset paired with a trauma-informed practice allows me to create a safe space for therapeutic change. I enjoy working with men with diverse experiences and identities from all walks of life to explore how internal narratives may be impacting mental wellbeing. My goal is to create an environment that feels safe and inspires growth.

Jennifer Vishloff

Many of my clients feel worried that others don’t like them, and are scared to speak up in their relationships. They’ve spent a long time silencing what they really think and feel inside because they’re afraid they’ll be rejected if they share their full selves with others. I help clients understand and change the underlying patterns keeping them stuck. You can build confidence managing emotions, setting boundaries and having more of what you want in relationships. You can accept and even like who you are and have the confidence to make changes in your life that bring satisfaction at work, connection and closeness in relationships, and trust yourself to get through the hard things.

I aim to create a non-judgmental space where the relationship between client and counsellor is built on trust and mutual respect. I see therapy as a journey—one that requires patience, empathy, and a deep respect for your unique story. My approach is person-centered, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own life. You’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to support and collaborate with you to find a path forward that truly fits who you are and what you need.

Madison Maitz

I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my practice and work to develop an awareness of how our nervous system plays a key role in regulating our emotions and internal state. I integrate aspects of both talk and body-based interventions to best support healing.

I specialize in; anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, relationship issues, athletic & sports performance, and emotional regulation.

I draw primarily from polyvagal-informed therapy to support emotional and nervous system regulation, helping clients build resilience and cultivate safety in their bodies. I integrate somatic practices to encourage deeper body awareness and facilitate healing, and utilize EMDR to process past trauma and rewire unhelpful patterns.

David T Renaud

I work with men experiencing difficult problems. Such problems go by many names, and may be new or old, but all share the common trait of stubbornly obstructing our happiness. Yet despite the hardship they cause, our problems also carry essential insight about what is needed for their resolution. I work with you to reveal these insights, to gather their wisdom, and to transform them into opportunities for greater well-being and engagement with life. You can visit my website to easily book a free, unhurried conversation about the problems you’re experiencing, and the life you’d like to live. We’ll talk about ways to help you move toward that life, using approaches that feel natural, intuitive, and possibly even exciting.

Jenna Becker

Hi all – I gratefully live and work on the traditional lands of the Squamish Peoples. My practice is entirely virtual at this point!

I enjoy working with youth and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, body image/disordered eating, depression, life transitions, suicidal ideation, family and peer conflict, and substance use disorders. I also work with caregivers to provide EFFT coaching to help better support your loved ones. I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual and domestic violence. I strive to create a safe and inviting space for people to explore the different patterns in their lives.

I am registered with the First Nations Health Authority.

Sue Noble

For over 20 years, I’ve worked with men who carry more than most people will ever see — the weight of responsibility, pressure, loss, and anger that never quite finds a safe place to land. I’ve been in the helping profession since 1994, and my experience spans trauma, addiction, relationship breakdown, first responder burnout and compartmentalization, and the painful aftermath of reacting in ways that don’t reflect who you truly want to be.

Whether you’re working to manage anger, repair trust, or understand the roots of destructive patterns, therapy with me is about accountability without shame and healing without judgment. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s driving your reactions, strengthen self-control, and help you rebuild from a place of integrity and calm strength.

No judgment. No jargon. Just real conversations that help you get back to yourself.

I am part of the Surrey Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

Andrew Wallace

One of the most noble pursuits and individual can have is to strive to lead a meaningful and purposeful life.  This can be an extremely difficult task, both in terms of determining what this personally means and then figuring out how to get there.  When we feel stuck and overwhelmed, other negative and self-limiting states also take shape including anxiety and depression, leaving us full of bad habits and desperate for change.  In the therapeutic work with Andrew, the aim is to uncover the root causes that inhibit fulfillment and to further apply practical strategies that will permit change and foster personal growth.

Jeffrey Hoy

I am a therapist who wants to help you, in the way that works for you, and at the pace that works for you. I seek to create a safe, calm, and open place for you to explore what is really going on. I have lived a richly experienced life – and I know first hand what it’s like to be in a difficult place. I believe that my broad life experience – with both positive and many negative experiences – gives me an exceptional ability to understand, empathize with, and inspire the clients I work with.

I use a multifaceted approach to therapy including EFT, CBT, MI, NVC, and more – what does that mean? I will be able to connect and work with you in the way that works for you.

Kate Bonnell

It’s important to me that my clients feel like they walk away from counselling with something, whether that’s a new insight, a skill, or a different perspective on what is an issue for them. My approach is collaborative, direct, and fully guided by my clients.

I feel it’s important to acknowledge the hand you were dealt and consider upbringing, socioeconomic status, race, sexual orientation, and gender norms and how they play into your own experience.

I work in trauma, anxiety, depression, and I’m passionate about helping late discovered adults with ADHD and autism understand themselves better. Some therapeutic styles I employ include CBT, DBT, IFS (internal family systems), and narrative.

Online and in-person sessions available Saturday through Wednesday.
