My approach to psychotherapy involves understanding my clients by using a client-centred lens, while also taking on a systems approach to understand the bigger picture. I am informed by Attachment Theory, as well as Emotion-Focused Therapy, and use this to help clients gain a deeper understanding of where they came from and how it is showing up in their current situation. I believe having a level of understanding such as this, leaves clients feeling more connected to themselves and empowered to move forward.

Psychotherapy can be a powerful tool to help you grow in self-awareness, notice patterns in your life and help you heal. Just like when you watch a chess game from the outside, you can notice things about the game in a way that you cannot see when you are in a game, in the same way, psychotherapy can be extremely helpful in helping you to see yourself with more clarity and that clarity will result in a more fulfilled, intentional life.

Through collaborative sessions tailored to meet your needs we will explore challenges, uncover insights, determine a path to healing, and develop effective strategies for a more fulfilling life.

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.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

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.

Sometimes it is necessary to take a journey into the past. So much of what our brain takes in, and accepts as truth, enters the brain subconsciously. Exploring past life experiencing and allowing oneself to fully chew them up (so they can be properly stored and not triggered at in opportune times), is often essential to moving on. This is often a particular issue with childhood trauma. Nothing is as rewarding as seeing one of my clients push through an unconscious block and be able to get on with their life again.

Are you feeling lost and alone? Struggling with overwhelming thoughts and emotions? If you're ready to take control of your mental well-being and find a path to healing, therapy can help. As a psychotherapist, I understand how difficult it can be to cope with feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. With support and guidance, you can learn to manage these feelings and create a happier, more fulfilling life. Together, we will work on a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals. I use powerful techniques and a warm, empathetic approach to help my clients gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

Do you feel overwhelmed by navigating life's challenges? Do you find yourself confused or unfulfilled with your relationships? Taking time to talk about your difficult feelings in a safe and confidential place can help resolve some of the burdens you may be carrying. This process is collaborative and we try to explore how these burdens are impacting the quality of your life and what it takes to overcome this rough patch. My approach to counselling is deeply rooted in Mindfulness-based techniques, Adlerian, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

My belief is that human beings often forget to put themselves as important. We ensure that our car has regular maintenance, that our teeth have regular check ups, that our physical health is on track; but we don't put the necessary care and check up to our mental health. It is so important in this fast paced, jam packed world we live in that we take the time to work on ourselves as well. This is the way that we can maintain balance within our lives. This is about personal empowerment.

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to take a step back from your life and reflect on what matters to you. It used to be thought that if you need a "shrink" i.e. head shrinker, there's something wrong with you! These days, we know that the demands of our fast paced lives can get us down and we may not be aware of the reasons. We may be too close to our own issues. In psychotherapy, we can slow down and have help to examine what comes up in the context of our difficulties. Our bodies and emotions register reactions that we may not understand. Psychotherapy can help open a space to let new realities unfold through honouring small reactions that can be understood in the larger context.

Psychotherapy can be beneficial for everyone. Whether you would like to further self-exploration, break old patterns keeping you from reaching your full potential, work through past trauma, gain more clarity on a specific issue, or repair ruptures in your relationship, psychotherapy can help you reach your goals. Psychotherapy can provide a safe and supportive environment while giving you the tools and psychoeducation to create sustainable change.

In my practice of psychotherapy, clients can anticipate a compassionate, client-centered approach that values their unique experiences and perspectives. I believe in creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors openly. Through collaborative dialogue and evidence-based techniques drawn from various modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, clients gain insight into their challenges and develop practical strategies for growth and change.

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)

I come to the practice of counselling with a passion for wellness and transformative, life-long learning. I work in the public setting as a clinical counsellor in a local primary care network, support a local arts organization as executive director, and teach Clinical Counselling at the post-secondary level. I am particularly interested in post-modern and integral approaches to working with neurodiversity, couples, and the transition to full practitioner.

Experience: Throughout my 20 years of professional experience in the human services field I have been driven by a passion for helping others that I now bring to Clinical Counseling. It is rewarding to serve youth, adults, and families, helping them to overcome distressing and traumatic life events while realizing their strengths and resilient qualities. My clinical counselling practice includes supporting individuals who experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, self-harming behaviors, suicide ideation, and those who experienced domestic violence. My lived experiences inform my practice. Being married for 33 years and raising three children, now young adults, has increased my empathy, compassion, and understanding for youth, adults, and...(view profile to read more)

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.

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?"

The experiential work in AEDP has deeply moved me. This therapeutic framework beautifully blends attachment theory and the attunement of the therapist and client to process together towards transformative experiences that are healing. This is dyadic work where the client and therapist create a connection that allows clients to go to deep places of emotional brokenness and begin to make repairs and make new meanings allowing clients to become unstuck and begin to feel relief.

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.

Psychotherapy is an interactive process between a clinician and a client. By examining and challenging thoughts, feelings and behaviour, one can affect change, solve problems and reach maximum potential. As a clinician, I help to facilitate this process by implementing interventions such as Neurofeedback (NFB), EMDR and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). NFB retrains your brains ability to act rather than react. EMDR is a powerful tool that goes to the roots of barriers to functioning by affecting neural processes with eye movements. CBT allows you to actively engage in examining your thoughts and behaviours to effect change.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Psychotherapy is otherwise known as talk therapy. I use this interactive approach of talk therapy (psychotherapy) as a supportive framework and also a constructive way to help people deal with the problems in their lives. We set goals, which are talked about and discussed in therapy with the use of techniques, so that solutions are identified and people know what to do and how to navigate the difficult issues in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Family Therapy, Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy are specific approaches in psychotherapy used to support and assist clients to meet their goals.

I believe that the most important part of the healing process is to work with a therapist who you are comfortable with, and whom you can trust. I therefore prioritize creating a warm, safe environment for an individual to explore life's challenges. As a therapist I aim to be as open and authentic as I can, and use humour as well as stories from my own experience to create a sense of safety in the counselling environment.

I am a trauma counsellor working out of Surrey and White Rock BC and have taken specialized courses in this area. As a trauma therapist, I help clients heal from the underlying wound (s) that are getting in the way of their ability to thrive in everyday life. I work at a pace that is tailored to each client for the best results. I focus on connecting with clients on a deep level so that they feel safe, seen and secure while working with me.
