Welcome to ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy
Welcome to Elemental Psychotherapy
I am Michele Gardiner, a Master's Level Canadian Certified Counsellor and Psychotherapist (C.C.C.)
in 'good standing' with the CCPA and founder of ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy - a private practice providing Virtual Outpatient treatment and recovery support to individuals and couples across Canada around
Anxiety Disorders, Complex Trauma, & Concurrent Mental Health problems including:

Clinical Supervision and Consultation Services
I offer a professional, compassionate, and person-centred approach with 17 years of clinical counselling experience and extensive training and certifications in my areas of practice, supported by Evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT, EMDR/FT, MI, Mindfulness, Intuitive Eating, and Parts Work (IFS) augmented by Expressive Arts, Nature-Therapy, and Somatic Embodiment and Regulation Therapy.
As a Humanistic therapist, I work from a place of authenticity applying an Attachment and Trauma-Informed lens while greeting you in a spirit of collaboration and nonjudgement to promote a safe, accepting, and inclusive experience that builds on your inner strengths and wisdom to nurture new hopes, self-esteem, and healthier regulation and coping skills that align with your needs, values and goals for greater peace, freedom, and joy.
Honouring you as a strong, knowing individual is a core principle reflected by Michele at ELEMENTAL Psychotherapy through the perspective that, as human beings, our unique thoughts, feelings, values and experiences in life provide us with an inner wisdom that is both empowering and elemental to our ongoing growth and capacity for creating lasting and meaningful change throughout life.
Free Consultation
I work with individuals age-18 and over and offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to begin.
New clients are welcome to self-refer or can be referred by a trusted health professional.
Health Insurance Providers
I am a Registered Service Provider with several health insurers including
Blue Cross/Medavie, Green Shield Canada, Lumina Health, SunLife, Optima Global Health, the Metis Association of BC, and others.
To reduce financial strain and disappointment, kindly confirm coverage with your provider before starting therapy.
To learn more about my professional background, education, or personal recovery experience, visit the Therapist's page or explore the
'Stages of Readiness' model to identify your personal readiness for therapy. And, if you're not feeling ready to begin therapy but would like to increase your knowledge and self-help tools, feel free to investigate the wealth of free information on our Resources page at any time.
If you are ready to take the next step and begin turning your goals into the growth and change you desire,
I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your therapy goals and how I can best support you towards achieving these
changes and creating more peace, freedom, and joy in life.
