Squamish Counselling Clinic
Unit 4- 40383 Tantalus Way V9B0G2 Squamish, BC, Canada

Well that was sure fast! This virus is impacting people both physiologically and psychologically; it seems to be bringing up the big issues for many. It is so important to tend to your mental and emotional health at this time, and that will also help keep your immune system robust. Remember to practice self-care at home and if you are needing professional support, please connect with one of our credentialed therapists at the www.SquamishCounsellingClinic.com, most are offering video therapy through secure, private, encrypted wifi connections. Video therapy can feel strange initially; if you are unsure, but need support, consider requesting a 10 min. consultation to try it but most people adapt quickly. Stay well!

COUNSELLING SUPPORT : The world is in a very unsettled place right now. Fear, worry and concern run high for many. While we are asked to keep our distance so...cially, this does not feed us as social beings. To the best of my ability I want to continue to offer support to my current and new clients. In response to the realities of COVID-19, I have moved my practice to online and phone calls. While this is a very different way of connecting therapeutically, the research suggests that it holds the same great value - we heal in connection. If you would like to book a session with me, please connect [email protected]. For those that know Orca (they/them), they will hold your space on the couch until you meet again.

A press release regarding the importance of tending mental health during a general health emergency from my professional association.

In light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) news, I wanted to inform you that the clinic is still operating as normal at this time. The offices have just been deep c...leaned and will continue to be cleaned regularly. At this time, sessions will carry on as usual. If you would prefer a session for yourself or your child/youth (over 11 years old) over the phone or online, please reach out and we can arrange this. The following measures are effective immediately in order to mitigate any risk of infection: *Clients will be asked to wash their hands upon arrival to the clinic and before exiting the clinic. *All surfaces will be disinfected several times a day, including door handles, faucets and high use areas. *All toys, sand trays and supplies will be disinfected between clients. If you are experiencing any flu or cold-like symptoms such as a cough, fever or newly developed shortness of breath, please contact me at 778-970-0033 to reschedule your appointment. There will be no penalty for last-minute cancellations. If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, please contact me via email. I have also attached an article from Sharon Selby, that talks about how to support kids around coronavirus anxiety. https://www.sharonselby.com//how-to-address-the-big-what-i take care and stay healthy!
