"I am deeply humbled by the courage and bravery that my clients show every day in my office. It is a privilege for me to hear their stories; to hear about their struggles and challenges, as well as their successes and achievements.

I believe that we can all experience growth and positive change within our lives and that we can find clarity of mind and heart. I believe that we can find ways to live authentically and that we can find our voices and sense of belonging in our worlds."

Reaching out for help and guidance shows strength, and I always appreciate clients’ strength as well as their curiosity and willingness to grow. I genuinely wish for all my clients to feel safe, heard, and respected so that the healing work can begin.

My own challenging background allows me to bring meaningful depth and understanding to the counselling setting and your unique obstacles. Working from a solution-focused, narrative, or art therapy perspective, I can help guide you towards what you are seeking. Additionally, I pull from mindfulness, spirituality, and holistic health as appropriate for each individual.”

Sommer McLauchlin
Registered Provisional Psychologist

I believe that understanding how our mind and body work to protect us from difficult experiences over the course of the lifespan can help us make sense of ourselves and the world around us. We often equate our experiences to self worth, and may feel stuck in a repetitive loop of stress, anxiety, and feeling misunderstood.

Using a combination of science, evidence-based interventions, humor, and maybe a few too many swear words…(sorry in advance!), my goal is to create a safe, open, and accepting space to support your healing journey.

Jeff Kubik
Registered Psychologist

Do you often get a sense that there’s much more to you than what you’re tapping into? That you’re capable of so much more, but feel blocked, or just can’t find the motivation or resources to get where you want to be? At work or in your relationships, this could be showing up as a big sense of distraction — even though you’re doing so much, it seems like you’re getting nowhere. You have high hopes and big dreams, but feel disconnected. Something might feel “off” and it’s hard for you to feel motivated to keep going through motions that no longer seem to make much sense.

If I can help answer any questions or concerns for you, please feel free to email me at jeff@vividpsychology.com.

“There are many reasons someone could find themselves struggling. Another may never know what obstacles that person had to overcome, or the options they had to choose from. It is through balance, empathy, connection, and knowledge that we can achieve healthy, functional, full lives.”
