Welcome to ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy
I am Michele Gardiner, a Registered Canadian Certified Counsellor and Psychotherapist (C.C.C.) in good standing and the founder of ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy, a private outpatient counselling space dedicated to supporting individuals around treatment support and recovery from
Anxiety Disorders, Disordered Eating, Eating Disorders, and Concurrent Mental Health such as
Located in a private setting of Summerland, BC, I offer confidential, compassionate and client-centred therapy with 16-years of clinical counselling experience and extensive training in my areas of practice (above) applying Evidence-based approaches including 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, while nurturing hope, healthier coping skills and an empowered sense of Self that feels in greater alignment with your core values and goals for 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 provide us with an inner wisdom that is both empowering and elemental to our process for creating lasting and meaningful change.
If you feel ready to create meaningful change and freedom from these problems through healthier coping practices
I offer a free 30-minute phone consultation to new clients age-19 and over.
For families and individuals under age-19 who are not seeking treatment for an eating disorder, you might consider connecting with a health professional through The Foundry in Penticton or Kelowna before accessing private outpatient care.
