Coleen R.

K o r r y is a lovely kind understanding therapist. She listened very carefully to everything I had to say. She validated my thoughts and opinions. It felt like a very safe and welcoming environment. However, what I was really hoping to take away from our discussion was some tools to give me something to work with or some recommendations to help me process this journey of loss and deep grief.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful feedback about your experience with Korry. We're pleased to hear that you felt heard, validated, and safe in her care - these foundations are essential for effective therapy. We also appreciate your honesty about wanting more practical tools to help process your grief and loss.

I was a little nervous going into my first appointment but my therapist at the Kelowna location made me feel comfortable right away with her warm smile and calming office.

We have dabbled with numerous counsellors, and without hesitation Dina is our favourite. She met our needs as a couple. She quickly builds meaningful connection and approaches her work with respect, frequent check-in’s, joy and laughter. If we weren’t moving provinces, we would see Dina to maintain the strength she has instilled in us.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your heartfelt review of your couples counselling experience with Dina at our Coquitlam clinic. We're truly grateful that you found the meaningful connection and relationship support you were seeking after trying several counsellors. Dina's approach to couples therapy focuses on building trust, communication skills, and relationship strength through respectful engagement and regular check-ins—exactly what you highlighted in your feedback. While we're sad to see you leave Coquitlam as you move provinces, we're incredibly proud that the relationship tools and strength Dina helped cultivate will continue to serve your partnership. Should you ever return to the Metro Vancouver area or need virtual counselling services, our team will always welcome you back. Wishing you both continued happiness and connection in your new chapter!

Excellent services offered here. I’ve been visiting Anissa for a while and she’s done a very good job with me so far. She’s very good at handling things and very pleasant and professional to deal with. Highly recommended. Robin from the admin team is excellent as well, and very quick to assist in anyway she can with bookings and/or requests.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Dave! We are proud to hear our team's efforts have been successful.

kate C.

Everything moved very quickly, from the time of inquiry to the professional & detailed forms to answer preliminary questions. I was able to reach out, type some background info, and be in contact with a (for lack of a better word) receptionist/ phone consultant, within two days, and by the middle of the next week had my first appointment in-person. Not to mention my first appointment with Sarah was quite enjoyable. I felt safe, understood and not dismissed like I had in previous therapy experiences through different service providers. Thanks! I look forward to & hope for a continual experience as such.

Response from the owner:Hi Kate, thank you for this kind review! We are so thrilled to read you've had a positive experience. We aim to provide this level of care to all our clients.

Jennifer M.

Dina and her approach to therapy are wonderful! She is compassionate, intuitive, and collaborative. She brings a beautiful balance of head and heart. The insights I have gained from my work with Dina have made a positive impact on my life - on myself and my relationships. In addition to these deep, meaningful, serious insights - I also appreciate that Dina provides room for laughter! I can’t say enough positive things about Dina and my work with her. If I could give her an 11 out of 10 star rating - I would.

Response from the owner:Hi Jennifer! We are thrilled to hear that counselling has had such a positive impact on your life. Thank you for sharing your experience. We hope it inspires others to seek insight and make positive change.

I was visiting Vancouver for a friends wedding, and suddenly had a anxiety attack from all of the planning and shenanigans. I was the photographer and it was really stressful time.

Proven Approaches for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Therapy We Trust In

At Well Beings Counselling, we believe in using scientifically proven therapies to treat Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) effectively. We use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), exposure, and response prevention (ERP), among others, to help patients manage symptoms. By integrating these trusted methods, we empower individuals to take control of their OCD, reducing compulsive behaviours and improving overall well-being.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on restructuring distorted thinking patterns and addressing behavioural responses to anxiety, aiming to reduce compulsive behaviours and intrusive thoughts in individuals with OCD.

We trust Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a proven method to help individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Through Cognitive Restructuring, our certified OCD therapists guide patients in recognizing and challenging Cognitive Distortions, transforming irrational thoughts into healthier, more balanced perspectives. By incorporating Behavioural Activation and utilizing Thought Records, we support clients in managing their anxiety and addressing underlying Anxiety Disorders and Depression.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) confront anxiety-provoking situations while preventing compulsive rituals, ultimately reducing intrusive thoughts and anxiety.

Well Beings Counselling trust Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as an effective treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Through the careful development of an Exposure Hierarchy, our OCD therapists guide clients in gradually facing situations that trigger anxiety while preventing the corresponding compulsive behaviours. The process fosters significant Anxiety Reduction, allowing individuals to break free from intrusive thoughts and gain greater control over their OCD symptoms.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages individuals to accept intrusive thoughts and feelings, fostering Psychological Flexibility and helping them commit to actions aligned with their values rather than engaging in compulsive behaviours.

We trust ACT as a compassionate and effective treatment for OCD. By using Values Clarification, our experienced OCD therapists help clients identify what truly matters in their lives, allowing them to shift focus away from obsessive thoughts.
