Counselling

Have you experienced or witnessed an event that involved either real or perceived threat of injury or death? Did the event lead to feelings of intense fear, helplessness or horror? Do you find yourself reliving aspects of the event, or avoiding reminders of the event? Do you tend to be easily startled? You may be experiencing symptoms of  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Do you feel sad all or most of the time? Do you lack motivation, or have difficulty concentrating? Do you have sleep problems? Do you tend to isolate yourself from life? Have you experienced a recent loss that has been difficult to accept or heal from? Do you feel helpless or hopeless? You may be experiencing depression. Anxiety takes many forms, which include (but are not limited to): panic attacks; phobias (fear of people, places, or things), obsessive compulsive tendencies, and/or general anxiety symptoms such as excessive worry. However, when these conditions interfere with daily functioning, the person may have an anxiety disorder. I specialize in working with individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder(GAD). Counselling will help you determine if you have PTSD, Depression or Anxiety. EMDR Therapy is an effective treatment for these concerns. EMDR is a treatment modality designed by Psychologist Francine Shapiro who discovered it’s benefits for recovery from PTSD among Vietnam combat veterans and other trauma survivors. Extensive research indicates that EMDR can effectively resolve trauma at a much faster rate  than traditional therapies. EMDR also is helpful with resolving ongoing triggers of anxiety and other symptomatic conditions. EMDR has become one of the most widely used and recognized treatments for PTSD, however, EMDR can be used to resolve symptoms related to many issues; for example:all forms of abuse in childhood or adulthood, car accidents, workplace, sports injuries or other physical trauma bullying and workplace injustices, victims of crime, war related trauma, anxiety disorders, low self esteem, self loathing, grief and loss. Benefits of Counselling and EMDR Therapy often include: Feeling better about yourself, as you gain knowledge and skills to understand and manage the challenges you face. Becoming more satisfied with life as you resolve past hurts, and improve or strengthen your relations with others. Overcoming unhealthy patterns of feeling, thinking or behaving which prevent you from reaching your life goals. Shifting from reacting to responding to situations in healthy ways,Improving self confidence. Self awareness and personal growth. Two additional modalities that help provide an integrated approach to healing include: One Eye Integration (OEI) helps clients gain awareness of how they process information, and includes skills/tools to successfully diffuse difficult emotions, while working towards integration. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-oriented psychotherapy which involves somatic processing of negative experiences in order to facilitate healing. My interest in these particular therapeutic approaches to trauma therapy are a result of my belief in the need to address trauma and healing holistically – by integrating experiences cognitively, emotionally and physically

Naturopathic

Naturopathic medicine allows for the widest scope possible for a primary health care provider and is used to provide relief from disease using a natural approach rather than a drug-based approach. Prior to treatment, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive health interview to record pertinent information, perform any needed physical examinations, and recommend any necessary labs such as hormone testing. Your naturopathic treatments may include the following modalities: **Nutritional Optimization** Includes diet advice and any needed natural health supplementation plans **Support for vegetarian/vegan lifestyle** if required-Food Allergy (IgG/IgE) **Testing-Nutrigenomic Testing** (comprehensive salivary genetic test for 45 genetic markers) **Botanical Medicine** Using completely vegan herbal extracts to naturally provide the body with certain actions needed to overcome dis-ease **Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture** Often, imbalances in the flow of blood and energy (Qi) along with deficiencies in the cooling or heating system of our body can lead to disease. Acupuncture along with carefully selected vegan friendly Chinese herbal formulas can be used to correct these imbalances. In addition to symptom differentiation. A misconception about acupuncture is that it is a painful therapy but nothing could be further from the truth. Dr. Hamid Tajbakhsh, ND uses a method of acupuncture he has named AKiMCA. This stands for Applied Kinesiology Mediated Constitutional Acupuncture which allows for gentle insertion of a minimal amount of needles to bring upon maximal healing response. Dr. Hamid uses manual muscle testing techniques to locate exact areas of excess and deficiency which allows him to efficiently and effectively address multiple concerns at once thereby treating the actual cause of his patients’ concerns. Bowen therapy was first founded by Tom Bowen in Australia during the 1960s. This therapy uses non-invasive gentle soft-tissue maneuvers which send signals to the central nervous system causing re-structuring of muscles, tendons, and bones. This works to break repetitive pain cycles and eliminate chronic pain patterns! Bowen therapy also increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage to the tissues and even organs which help to rejuvenate the body and aid in the self healing mechanisms of the body.

Chronic Illness and Lyme Disease

It is possible to reinforce our immune system, so that we are more resistant and resilient to diseases and would not require medical intervention.

Massage Therapy

My name is Shanay and I am a local RMT based out of the Langley community. I graduated from the 3200 hour program offered by Langara College in Vancouver.I take pride in having a strong therapeutic touch while also providing a relaxing atmosphere for the mind.  I have a background in spa and clinical work and my interests are in providing deep therapeutic touch, fascial release, pregnancy massage, treating TMJ & headaches as well as general Swedish massage.What is Ruca? Ruca is a name originating from India that means splendor. The antonymous for splendor are ordinariness, poorness, dullness and insignificance. These are all qualities I do not wish to embody in my practice or my life and that is how I adopted the name The Pink Ruca. Pink because it is my favourite color as it represents universal love of oneself and of others. I want to add a dash of pink to the clinic because massage is my passion and it is what I love.

Counselling

Counselling with Maija McLean, MA, RSW, CCCLife can feel overwhelming at times. The ways in which we cope with feelings of overwhelm can cause pain and suffering in our relationship to ourselves and others, and can impact how we view our place in the world.  It is my belief and experience that by exploring the space inside, we can transform the impacts of our past and create a different future for ourselves, our loved ones, and the communities in which we live.
