Find a Therapist in Anmore, British Columbia.

Counselling is my life's work. I am in love with learning and do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. My first priority is to establish a good relationship with my client(s), to listen and create a safe space for them. I use my instincts, my years of experience and wisdom to customize treatment for each of my clients. I respect the wisdom of each person and believe that counselling can be a collaborative process between therapist and client. I am there to support, encourage, listen with compassion and to guide clients to find their own direction and empowerment. I also teach specific skills for communication, managing depression and anxiety and trauma symptoms.

Throughout my life and educational career, I have learned the benefits of understanding how our brain and body develop and impact each other. The brain is like any other body part - when injured or not functioning properly, it requires proper attention and care to heal and strengthen it back to a higher functioning state. It is with this knowledge that we can begin to understand ourselves and our own reactions more. My goal is to help you find a path towards self-compassion and a clearer sense of self, while also working together to seek out alternative solutions to create a healthier mindset.

Psychotherapy is a big word, that really just means talking through your thoughts, feelings and behaviours with someone that is trained in helping you understand them and then how you can change them to live the life you desire. Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of individuals who have shared with me their thoughts, feelings and behaviours and together we worked on individualized steps to create a new, more desired future. It takes honesty and a desire to make small steps and the results are amazing.

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings". Counselling sessions are private and confidential, and can provide a way for you to explore your problems and really tune in to your feelings. This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers. At the root of the problem, there are very real, legitimate and understandable reasons for feeling the way you feel, thinking the way...(view profile to read more)

You may be wondering what counselling and psychotherapy looks like. Typically, I will spend some time, perhaps a session or two, getting to know you and your concern in some depth. Then together we decide on a goal and the best way for us to spend our time together. This may involve exploring thoughts, behaviours, and emotions, solving problems, working on skills, or making sense of past experiences. My hope is that, through our work together, you will feel clearer, more focused, and connected with your life and the people in it.

I strongly believe that psychotherapy is an art. This is the reason I integrate different approaches and modalities when working with clients based on their goals and their current situation. In other words, I use my years of training and my clinical experience to make sure what we do is helpful to you. I have done training in approaches that focus on thoughts and cognitions such as CBT, approaches that are more emotionally focused such as AEDP and approaches that are more body focused such as SP. This helps us to give equal attention to all parts of your experience such as your feelings, your thoughts and your body. You will feel more integrated and whole as a result.

Dr. Rochefort's practice is grounded in psychodynamic theory, which suggests that our thoughts, behaviours, and emotions are driven by conscious and unconscious motivations. He also has expertise in a diverse range of approaches including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT), and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). Dr. Rochefort's areas of expertise in psychotherapy include trauma, violence, personality disorder, treatment of offending behaviours, eating disorders, stress, depression, and anxiety, to name a few. He works with individuals and couples, and with adults and adolescents.

My professional credential is Registered Therapeutic Counsellor not psychotherapist. However I have extensive experience with the tools of psychotherapy including: attachment healing, somatic attunement, object relations, ego state therapy, and depth psychology. I integrate the Diamond Approach, a system for spiritual and psychological maturation, into my work with clients. A core tenet I experience daily is: we each have an individual soul with unlimited potential to free ourselves from limiting aspects of personality, inherited trauma and old beliefs. I've been a student of the Diamond Approach since 1989 and am grateful to the teachers, teachings, and our community of lovers of truth.

I use a neurobiologically informed approach to treating trauma. That means I'll use the lenses of the nervous system and brain science to help make sense of how you're feeling stuck or repeating patterns you'd like to grow beyond. Most trauma experts agree that our body stores the residue of traumatic experiences and that it is necessary to include the body in the healing process to experience real and lasting change. I always bring the body into therapy by inviting you to become aware of your sensory experience and nervous system states.

I believe the main function of psychotherapy is to be a reflective tool. Like a mirror I can reflect what you show me exactly as it is, but I can also magnify and expand the image for you. Sometimes we can narrow in on an issue, and observe the smallest details; sometimes getting so close that they don't look small anymore, in all their complexity. Other times an expansive view is is more beneficial, so we can see the overall connections a single issue can have with other various parts of life.

At times, our lives may feel overwhelming and uncertain. Being human means that we will often experience pain, instability, and a seemingly never-ending list of to-dos. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I help people to experience more joy, connection, and fulfillment in their lives. I will work with you to address your stumbling blocks so that you can live a life of greater peace and freedom.

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.

Feelings need to be felt. Stories need to be told. Sometimes, a therapist takes the role of a highly trained audience. I know how to listen, with the curiosity and earnestness of someone newly in love. Listening is not the entire treatment, but it is definitely a necessary part of it. I'll quote Lou Reed here: "I'll be your mirror, reflect what you are, in case you don't know."

Psychotherapy or counselling is helpful to address whatever issues you may be facing in your life in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. At West Coast Counselling, we use your goals as a framework from which to build therapy around. We may use cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative or solution-focused therapy, to name a few, in which to help you manage your issues.

In Psychotherapy, a deeper dive into your past to understand why you may feel. Think and act in a certain way that is not helpful to you. There will be lots of investigation into early childhood, beliefs, and assumptions made that no longer serve you. There will be a link between early environment and learning, how you coped, and how that may play out in your life in the present in how you think, feel, and act. This incorporates a blend of many counseling models. My most frequent question will be, " What happened to you?"

Many clients come to me with only having had talk therapy. They tell me that with their previous counsellor they just discussed their challenges and never really got anywhere. I personally believe that the difference lies in the distinction between the terms "counselling" and "therapy." In my opinion, counselling involves talking and gently exploring issues, whereas therapy involves teaching new concepts, applying specific tools and approaches, and making tailored plans. Clients brainstorm with me, apply new ideas at home, challenge themselves, and develop new insights and skills. This is how I work and what I offer, and my clients notice the difference in their daily lives.

I bring 16 years of experience to better help clients come to their own solutions to the struggles they face. Each client is unique, and needs a unique approach to their marriage, family or individual issues. To this end, I use an integrative, collaborative and effective approach using well researched approaches to better help clients achieve the results they want. The benefits that I can offer clients is helping you achieve more peace and happiness in your marriage, family or self. You may learn more effective ways to communicate and relate to people around you. By working together we can find the answers you seek. Contact me today to get the life you want.

My qualifications include a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. My trauma-informed theoretical framework is anchored in Internal Family Systems (IFS), while integrating the attachment principles and relational lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Both of these methodologies are evidence-based practices that have been demonstrated to be effective with a variety of situations and symptoms. I recognize that each individual has a unique set of circumstances and perspectives, so with this in mind, I will work collaboratively with you to determine your strengths, needs, areas of growth, and go

Psychotherapy is another word for counselling. The main feature of counselling is that clients tell their story, and are validated and not judged by the counsellor.In all of my professional development courses I have heard over and over again that the counselling relationship is the healing tool for the client. Being heard and not being judged are what helps clients heal.Counselling/psychotherapy can be absolutely life changing!!

While my approach is tailored to each client's needs, I predominantly use CBT with a neurobiological lens as my main approach in psychotherapy. I aim to help individuals identify the interconnection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and environment. Evidence-based therapies such as CBT have shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, anger management, OCD, personality disorders, and ADHD.
