Lisa Marie Young, MA, RCC, RYT

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#21260) and hold a Master of Arts Degree in Counselling Psychology. My professional background includes over 24 years of combined work experience in the human services field. I am trained to administer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), an evidence-based trauma treatment approach to helping clients heal from past trauma events and experiences. I am also registered as a Healthcare provider with the following organizations, First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), The First Responders Health BC Association and ICBC.

I am available to offer support to adults who are experiencing or have experienced grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, life transitions, Adult ADHD, or simply searching for more meaning and joy in their lives. Mental health and well-being have always been a great passion of mine. I am inspired by listening to client stories and am honoured to have the opportunity to support clients in their mental health and wellness planning.

I focus on my client’s strengths and, bring a person-centred, culturally respectful approach to the therapeutic relationship. My goal in therapy is to help clients identify their hidden strengths and personal abilities to heal from painful past trauma and foster a sense of purpose in their lives. I am grateful for this opportunity and strive to offer my clients a safe, supportive, and confidential space to begin this meaningful journey - to increase mental health, wellness, and healing.

My family and I relocated to the Salmon Arm area in 2012 and, immediately fell in love with life here in the Shuswap! I am grateful everyday for the amazing, picturesque views, endless hiking/biking trails and recreation opportunities. I aim to practice daily self-care in the form of mindfulness and a combination of physical and immersive nature therapy. As a registered Yoga Teacher (200 hr) and, member of Yoga Alliance Canada I offer a Trauma-Informed therapeutic lens and approach to understanding the mind-body connection, somatic healing and a holistic approach to healing and wellness.
