Well Mind
Psychotherapy is about working toward seeing our true self clearly. With a wide breadth of experience, we offer a range of services that can assist individuals, couples and families. While we have cultivated a specialization in Trauma and Addictions Therapy, our community of therapists and wellness practitioners work with a variety of modalities to support balance in body, mind and spirit.
What is the Tula difference
TULA provides you with a Wellness Advisor to navigate options and services that will best fit your specific needs.
TULA puts YOU at the centre of all treatment planning. It is not how you fit our treatment, but we can best support and serve you. By providing choices in your treatment, you will find a sense of autonomy and self-determination, placing you in the position to make change. Feel the difference in a sense of control and wholeness.
Our TULA family focuses on a trauma and violence informed, anti-oppressive approaches. We incorporate the foundations of Human Rights and Equity with the benefits of Mindful practise, Buddhist philosophy and whole body wellness to ensure your experience is one of being heard, seen and supported.

To do this we consider all our parts; physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. Supporting the whole person in making change.

FOCUS: COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, SOLUTION FOCUSED BASED THERAPY, EMOTION FOCUSED THERAPY, AND NARRATIVE THERAPY In life, change is the only constant. I heard that a lot in my life, but the only time it resonated with me is when the change was so difficult to bear. As a counselor in training, I am mindful of how as humans, we encounter life experiences that could leave us in despair. I offer this safe space to support you as you go through your unique journey by highlighting and empowering you along the way and ensuring that your experiences are honored, your voice is heard, your emotions are validated and most of all, your decisions are supported.
My approach to therapy is focused on your needs, personal strengths, and desired goals. I look forward to co-design a therapeutic plan with you. I am honored to have experience in working with children, youth, and adults from all walks of life. However, in my current role, I will be working with youth and adults. I welcome all clients from all gender, spirtual, and cultural backgrownds. I am certified as a CBT practitioner and trained in trauma-focused therapies, mindfulness, play and art therapy. As a mental health practitioner I believe that we all need a therapeutic space to feel respected, welcomed, non-judged, and supported as we heal in our unique ways. I hope that we can collaboratively create this space here. "Don't get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure." Rumi

We acknowledge the land on which our head office is located is the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), Qayqayt, Kwantlen, Semiahmoo and Tsawwassen peoples. Today this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds me that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
