About Terisha
"Hi, I’m Terisha, and I believe that most people can benefit from having someone to talk to. Counselling is about much more than “just talking”—it can be a place to better understand yourself, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change. Effective counselling often begins with a trusting and positive relationship with your counsellor, so I’d like to share a little about myself to help you decide if working together may be the right fit for you.
I moved to the East Kootenays seven years ago after growing up, attending school, and working in southern Alberta. I was drawn to the slower pace of life, the closeness to nature, and the opportunity to live and work in a place I truly enjoy. I now reside in Jaffray with my husband, daughter, and our French bulldog, Felix.
I bring over 15 years of experience working in schools with children, youth, and educators. I have experience working with a range of clients facing anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship struggles, life transitions, and the general weight of trying to hold everything together. Together, we can explore what may be getting in the way, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change.
As a certified counsellor, I take a down-to-earth and person-centered approach to therapy. I strive to meet people where they are with empathy, understanding, and genuine care, while also supporting growth and change. I value diversity, respect, and trust, and I am comfortable working with individuals from all walks of life.
I believe in the importance of tuning in to and caring for our mental health so we can better navigate life’s challenges. Above all, I believe counselling works best when you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood.
If my personality and style seem like a good fit for you, please reach out to connect; I look forward to meeting you!"
