Finding Your Path
to Mental & Relational Health
We offer both individual and couples counselling in British Columbia
We can all experience being overwhelmed, alone, anxious, afraid, stuck in patterns or lost in our attempts to create and maintain healthy relationships with ourselves and others. Having a trusted person to journey with and support us in exploring our capacity for change is a crucial pillar for discovering new possibilities.

We enjoy working with clients from all sorts of backgrounds and coming with a wide range of challenging experiences. Here is a list of problems we’re experienced in supporting folks with.
-
Does your inner world feel unmanageable or exhausting? Anxiety that won’t settle. Feeling constantly on edge, numb, overwhelmed, or stuck. Intrusive thoughts, rumination, or emotional swings. A sense of “something is wrong with me” or “I’m not myself anymore”
PTSD | Anxiety & Panic | Depression
-
Does your nervous system feel like it’s always bracing for something? Flashbacks, nightmares, or memories that won’t stay in the past. Feeling on edge, easily startled, or completely shut down. Avoiding places, conversations, or even your own thoughts because it all feels like too much.
-
Are you struggling for connection in your significant relationships? Conflict that escalates too fast. Difficulty communicating needs or emotions. Anger, shutdown, people-pleasing, or avoidance. Loss of intimacy or emotional connection. Do you see these patterns repeating with different people?
-
Do you find yourself saying, “I can’t stop” or “I rely on this more than I want to?” Substance use. Pornography or compulsive sexual behaviour. Overworking, scrolling, gambling, or other numbing strategies. Cycles of shame, relief, and regret.
-
Do relationships feel confusing, intense, or unsafe — even when you want closeness? Feeling triggered by small things. Fearing abandonment but also pulling away. Deep shame, chronic self-doubt, or the sense that you’re “too much” or “not enough.” Patterns that repeat, even when you’re trying so hard to change them.
-
Are you carrying something that feels too heavy to talk about? Memories that surface when you least expect them. A body that tenses, freezes, or shuts down. Shame that doesn’t belong to you but won’t let go. Difficulty trusting, feeling safe, or fully present in your own life.
-
Are you carrying an ache that doesn’t seem to fade? Missing someone, something, or a life you thought you would have. Waves of sadness that come unexpectedly. Feeling disoriented, tender, or alone in a way that’s hard to explain.
-
Are you running on empty? Exhausted but unable to stop. Losing passion for work, relationships, or responsibilities that once mattered. Feeling cynical, detached, or emotionally drained — with no real space to recover.
-
Is your inner critic louder than your compassion? Feeling not good enough — no matter what you accomplish. Comparing yourself to others and coming up short. Doubting your value, your voice, or your place in the world.
-
Do you want your faith to be part of the healing process? Wrestling with doubt, suffering, forgiveness, or spiritual confusion. Longing for wise, grounded support that honours both psychological insight and your relationship with Christ.
-
Does everything feel heavier than it used to? Low energy, low motivation, or a persistent numbness. Pulling away from people. Losing interest in things that once mattered. Wondering if this fog will ever lift.
-
Does your mind rarely slow down? Constant “what ifs,” tension in your chest, or a sense that something bad is coming. Overthinking decisions. Trouble sleeping, relaxing, or feeling fully present — even when things are technically okay.
-
Do you struggle to say what you really think or need? Saying yes when you mean no. Avoiding conflict at the cost of your own well-being. Replaying conversations afterward and wishing you had spoken up.
-
Does your anger feel closer to the surface than you’d like? Snapping at people you care about. Irritation that builds quickly and feels hard to control. Regret after the fact — and a quiet fear that this isn’t who you want to be.
-
Do you feel stuck, restless, or unsure about your direction? Dreading Mondays. Questioning your path, your purpose, or your potential. Wondering if you’re meant for something more — but not knowing what that is or how to move toward it.
-
Are you in a season that feels unfamiliar or disorienting? A move, a breakup, a new role, a loss, or a shift you didn’t choose. Feeling untethered, uncertain, or not quite like yourself. Knowing something is changing — but not yet knowing who you are on the other side of it.
-
Did something that was meant to bring meaning leave you feeling confused or wounded? Fear, guilt, or shame wrapped in spiritual language. Losing trust in yourself, your intuition, or even in God. Feeling untethered, angry, or unsure what you believe anymore — but afraid to say it out loud.
-
Do waves of fear come out of nowhere and take over your body? A racing heart, tight chest, dizziness, or the terrifying sense that something is very wrong. Avoiding places or situations in case it happens again. Living in fear of the next attack — and wondering why your body won’t calm down.

“It is easy to recommend Jon and Sam Hers as you consider responsible, ethical and informed counsellors for you and your family. I have consulted with Jon (mostly) and Sam (occasionally) about their clinical practice. I know how thoughtful and thorough they are. I know how they listen. I know how they suspend judgment. And I know how they offer more than simply “best practice” in their work — they offer themselves.” - Dr. Paddy Ducklow, Psychologist, Retired
