Mark is a Canadian Certified Counsellor and a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia. Mark earned his master’s degree from Portland State University. In particular, Mark’s counselling style draws on interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB), founded on clinical evidence supporting continuous brain growth. Moreover, he believes that positive changes can start by looking within ourselves. Consequently, Mark offers a non-judgmental and accepting space for you to discuss what’s present for you. Additionally, he approaches counselling holistically, recognizing the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. Rather than labeling old patterns as pathologies, he acknowledges them as coping strategies. Subsequently, therapy with Mark provides a safe container to explore old patterns, experiment with new ones, heal past hurts, and grow in your relationship with yourself and others.
Accordingly, Mark appreciates the science of neuroplasticity, which suggests that the formation of new neurons and neurological links can continue throughout our lives. Specifically, he believes therapy can help rebuild and reconnect these links to achieve a healthier internal balance. Thus, this is done relationally between therapist and client in a supportive and collaborative manner.
Furthermore, Mark continually develops an understanding of how the intersections of race, class, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, and ability shape each person’s experience in the world. He welcomes discussions on oppression and marginalization and invites a dialogue about differing identities.
Mark works through various theoretical orientations to accompany you within a safe relationship where you can explore your story and tell your narrative. Mark works closely with those with neurodiversity, grief, and much more. He is integrative and draws from evidence-based approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Somatic, and mindfulness.

Jim, a Registered Clinical Counsellor, has a Master’s degree in Christian Studies, with a concentration in Counselling, from Regent College, in Vancouver, BC. After graduation, Jim opened private practices in Calgary, and Wetaskiwin, Alberta. He dealt with many clinical cases, from individuals struggling with low self-esteem to trauma from childhood abuse, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. He has counselled couples, done personality assessments, and taught communication and conflict-resolution skills.

Jim moved to BC, establishing practices in the Okanagan, and subsequentially on Vancouver Island. He joined the staff of Edgewood Health Network, in Nanaimo, first as an inpatient counsellor for individual treatment, then a family counsellor in the Family Support programs. Jim now has twelve years of professional experience as a substance abuse counsellor. He is skilled as well in individual, couple, and group counselling. He describes his philosophy of counselling therapy as follows:
“In my 28-year career as a clinical counsellor and educator, I have sought to create a “safe place where people can be vulnerable.” I consider the tender vulnerability of the soul a “sacred place,” to be treated with the utmost respect and compassionate care. Furthermore, my goal, therefore, is to establish a strong therapeutic alliance, where both myself and clients work in a collaborative change process. I employ counselling techniques from various schools and models, including Humanistic, Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and EMDR Therapy. Additionally, I believe, as did Albert Ellis, that what we think about activating events, produces feelings that drive behaviors. My goal is client empowerment, through greater self-awareness as well as equipping with knowledge and skills so clients can live mature, responsible, and enjoyable lives.”

Cassandra was born and raised in rural northern BC, where her passion for nature-inspired mental health care began. Growing up in the North, mental health resources were scarce.
