In-person, office-based sessions are currently available on Fridays at Vanya's Hillside office. *Occasionally office-based sessions are available on Saturdays, pls request this using the waitlist option or email Vanya directly: vanya@thrivingroots.org.
 
Counselling can support your personal development by responding to your particular circumstances, whether integrating and processing anxiety, grief/loss, trauma/PTSD, family or relationship challenges, stress/burnout, life transitions, or disconnection from self and the natural world. Our counsellors help you recognize and build on the strides you’ve already made in your life’s journey while helping you develop more skills to navigate the challenges.

Our counselling services are informed by research and practice in wholeness-focused, trauma-informed, somatic/body-oriented, mindfulness-based, and nature connected approaches for adults, families and youth ages 6+.

Sessions are available at our office (Hillside) or in person outdoors at selected parks and trails.
*Nature-based sessions: Pls book an initial session in person at the office or online via a telehealth session before we book your first outdoor, nature-based session.

Vanya offers a free 10-minute Q & A call by phone, video or in person to see if you would be a good fit to work together or to inquire about counselling services for yourself, child or family.
