Our counselling services can help you with the management and treatment of many concerns including:
You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from counselling! Many people appreciate having the confidential, non-judgmental space a counsellor provides to share feelings and thoughts that have been bottled up, to help learn to manage symptoms, and receive guidance and support to change unwanted behaviours or areas of life they are unhappy with. You may find that engaging in counselling before your life stress becomes a crisis helps to keep it from getting to that point!
You don't need to! At Arborvitae Counselling Therapy, we work with you, not your diagnosis. Our counselling approach is tailored to your needs and is informed by the concerns you bring. Everyone needs some extra support sometimes, not just those with a formal mental health diagnosis.
Hello! My name is Katrina Paruch and I am a Registered Counselling Therapist (Candidate) with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists. I believe that every individual is unique and there is no cookie cutter, one-size-fits-all method to therapy, so I take a person-centered approach that positions you as the expert on yourself and me as your guide and support. You and I will work together collaboratively to define the problem, explore factors that are contributing to the difficulties or challenges you are facing, create long-term goals, and develop a plan to help you get to where you want to be. Currently I work with youth 16+, individual adults, and couples, using approaches that include IFS, EFT, and CBT. As a former pastor, I am able to provide Christian counselling at client request but do not operate exclusively through a faith lens. I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, inclusive place for everyone, regardless of their faith or worldview. My goal is to support you on your journey towards healing and personal growth in a way that is meaningful and comfortable for you.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Religion from Summit Pacific College in BC and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in New Brunswick. I am Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy trained, am in the process of completing Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist training.
