Thinking about therapy but not sure what actually happens when you walk in? Here's a first session, start to finish.

🔹 We go over confidentiality and how sessions work
🔹 You talk, at whatever depth feels right
🔹 We check in on how it went and what you'd like next time
🔹 We sort out booking and billing

Using benefits? Most plans cover an RCC or RSW. If yours only lists one, ask us. We can give you a letter to support your choice of counsellor.

Not sure who to see? Start with a free 15-minute intro call, by phone or video.

Stress doesn't always look like stress.

Sometimes it looks like:
🔹 snapping at the slow line
🔹 opening the fridge for the fifth time
🔹 five things started, nothing finished
🔹 picking up your phone for no reason
🔹 deep-cleaning the kitchen at 10pm

None of that means something's wrong with you. Your system is overloaded and doing its best with what it's got.

A more useful question than "why am I like this?" is "what is this telling me?"

We remember. We honour. We stand with you. 🧡

Every Child Matters.

If you've noticed things feel harder lately — not just your personal stuff, but everything — you're not imagining it.

The news cycle, the wildfires, the political heat, the sense that somewhere something is always burning. People are walking into therapy sessions carrying a weight that isn't just about their own lives. It's collective. And it's exhausting in a way that's genuinely hard to put into words.

There are words for it, actually. Eco-anxiety is one. Understanding what's underneath that weight is the first step to being able to carry it differently.

You train your legs. You train your lungs. But do you train your mind? 🧠🏃‍♀️

Race-day pressure can show up long before the starting gun. Anxiety, self-doubt, mental roadblocks, the fear of not performing the way you know you can.

Your Body Keeps the Score — And So Does Your Pelvic Floor

There's a phrase that gets used a lot in therapy circles: the body keeps the score. It means that stress, trauma, grief, anxiety — all of it — doesn't just live in your head. It settles into the body. Into your jaw, your shoulders, your gut. And yes, into your pelvic floor.

We talk about this a lot at ISW, because it's one of the most important things to understand about why people get stuck. You can do all the right things emotionally — build insight, process your experiences, learn new patterns — and still have a body that's holding on. Sometimes the work needs to happen in both places at once.

Which is why we're genuinely excited to share that Marnie Tocheniuk, physiotherapist and pelvic floor specialist, is now seeing clients out of our space here in Squamish.

The Strange Things Stress Makes You Do

You’ve been totally fine all day.

And then someone doesn’t indicate before turning, and you are furious. Not mildly irritated. Full-on, white-knuckled, muttering-under-your-breath furious.

Or you open the fridge for the fourth time in ten minutes even though nothing in it has changed. Or you reorganise the junk drawer at 10pm. Or you start three different tasks, finish none of them, and end up just sitting there looking at your phone.

The driver isn’t the problem. The fridge isn’t the problem. You already know this, somewhere but it takes a minute to land.

Your body is trained for pressure. Is your mind?

You can train for the race.
Train for the final.
Train for the moment.

But what happens when your heart starts racing, your thoughts spiral, and suddenly you’re thinking:

What if I mess this up?

You don’t need to eliminate pressure.

You need a game plan for it.

A mental game plan can help you manage the nerves, challenge the self-doubt, focus on what you can control, and keep performing even when anxiety shows up.

Because the athletes who handle pressure best aren't the ones who never feel it.

They’re the ones who know what to do when it arrives.

Your body has a training plan.

Your mind deserves one too. 🧠

Small humans. Big feelings. Sometimes, no words for them.

Kids don’t always tell us when something is wrong. Sometimes, they show us first.

A change in sleep. A stomach ache before school. More meltdowns. Becoming quieter or withdrawn.

In her latest blog, Brooke Oldfin, RCC shares what counselling can look like for kids and teens, why trust matters, and how creating a safe space can help young people feel comfortable being themselves.

If something feels a little off, you don’t have to wait until it becomes a crisis.
