Hi I’m Sarah VanBuschbach. I'm here to support you on your journey toward living your best life. With 15 years of experience in social work field, a bachelor’s degree in social work from UBC Okanagan, and a Master of Arts in Counselling psychology at Yorkville University, I bring a wealth of experience to the counselling relationship. I specialize in working with children, youth and families offering a person centred and trauma-informed approach.
I firmly believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to provide guidance, encouragement, and tools to help you achieve your personal goals.Using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Emotion focused therapy (EFT), Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices and person-centered modalities I tailor each session to meet your unique needs.
Together we will build a trusting, non-judgmental relationship and create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and the goals you have for your child. Whether you're navigating challenges, seeking growth, or looking for fresh perspective, we will work together to help you to thrive!
