Welcome to ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy
I am Michele Gardiner, a Registered Canadian Certified Counsellor and Psychotherapist (C.C.C.) and the founder of ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy, a private outpatient counselling space dedicated to supporting individuals in creating a healthier, happier, and freer life from
Anxiety Disorders, Eating Disorders, Trauma and Concurrent Mental Health Issues
Located in a private setting of Summerland, BC, I offer confidential, compassionate and client-centred therapy with 15-years of clinical counselling experience and extensive training in my areas of practice applying Evidence-based approaches: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT/EFFT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) augmented by Expressive Arts, Eco/Nature and Somatic Therapies.
As a Humanistic and client-centered therapist, I greet each person from a place of collaboration, equality and nonjudgement to promote a safe and inclusive therapy experience that builds on individual strengths and wisdom, nurtures hope, healthier coping skills and a more empowered sense of Self that feels in alignment with your goals and core values for living life.
Honouring you as a unique and knowing individual is a core principle reflected at ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy through
the perspective that, as human beings, our unique thoughts, feelings, beliefs and life experiences present us with wisdom
that is both empowering and elemental in our process for creating meaningful change.
If you feel ready to create change and develop healthier skills for coping and connecting with, yourself and others,
I offer a free 30-minute consultation by phone or a 60-minute intake session at a fee of $75.
Individuals' age 19 and over can Self-refer or be referred by a Physician, Registered Dietician/Nutritionist.
For insurance coverage, I am a Registered Service Provider with Blue Cross, Green Shield, Optima Global Health and BC's Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP). To avoid disappointment, remember to confirm coverage before starting therapy.
To learn more about my professional education, background or personal recovery experience feel free to visit the Therapists' page. If you are not ready for therapy but are interested in learning or locating resources you will find
a wealth of free information and tools on the Resource page.
