Rhonda has worked in the human services sector for 14 years as a counsellor and mental health therapist and specializes in mood disorders, including anxiety and depression, stress, eating disorders, trauma, sexual abuse, child and adolescent concerns, self-harm, addiction, women’s issues, etc. Rhonda provides a nurturing, encouraging, and empowering environment to assist clients with personal growth and provides guidance toward the development of a healthy, accepted sense of self. Rhonda works from a humanistic, client-centered, eclectic approach to therapy to best suit the needs of the client. Rhonda’s eclectic approach encompasses elements of the following therapeutic techniques which all have an underlying emphasis on health and wellness:
Rhonda’s core belief is that we are inherently good and whole and that it is the residue of life’s experiences and the thoughts and messages that we internalize that interfere with our full expression and potential. Thus we often find ourselves stuck in patterns which play out according to old programming of our mind. Rhonda helps clients to deconstruct these old patterns and develop new ones more aligned with their true nature. Rhonda looks forward to serving Langley and the surrounding communities. 
Shinnie Steven MA, RCC
Shinnie Steven is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology and over 15 years of experience in the helping profession. As a trained EMDR therapist, she has had the privilege of working with both children and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), sexual abuse, and grief. Shinnie's core strengths as a therapist lie in building meaningful and collaborative relationships with her clients. Two pivotal techniques central to her therapeutic practice are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These evidence-based approaches have consistently proven to be highly effective in addressing and alleviating the impact of trauma and distressing life experiences. Counselling is not merely a sequence of conversations; it is a transformative journey that unfolds in a secure and non-judgmental environment. This space invites you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Shinnie holds firm to the belief that every individual possesses the capacity for growth and healing. |
