find your momentum...
Hello!
My name is Mikara.
I am here to help.
I am a Victoria-based counsellor providing online support to adults (age 18+) in BC, Canada.
I believe the power to change resides within every person. Connection & support make change possible no matter the setting.
How May I Help You?
I have been helping people for over 20 years.
I’m a great listener and I have practical and simple strategies for many of life’s challenges.

with stress where you want
a listening ear & an ally.
Individual

where you are seeking

Work With Me
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology (MC) from Athabasca University.
I am an integrative therapist who is trained & experienced with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), solution-focussed brief therapy (SFBT), emotion-focussed family therapy (EFFT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. Although there are many methods for helping with positive outcomes in research, the very best ones are the ones that work for you.
I rely on the research to guide my selection of proven theories and training, but I rely on your feedback for the best measurement of my effectiveness with you.
I am on the unceded & forever homelands of the W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations and the lək̓ʷəŋən people of the Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations who have been in relationship with these lands for time immemorial. I am accountable in my professional & personal life to these lands and people.
Hiy hiy (thank you).
