Holly Smee MA RCC Castlegar Counselling Services

For the last 20 years I have dedicated myself to the helping professions, assisting and empowering others to achieve their highest self while listening to their own internal guidance system. Since 2008 I have focused specifically on mental health counselling.

This experience has included five years with Adult Mental Health and Substance Use Services and three years with Child and Youth Mental Health, as well as four years in other Ministries within the Provincial Government.Part of my career experience includes teaching 2nd year psychology at Selkirk College.

Depending on your specific needs, a variety of therapeutic modalities may be employed to help you move to a heightened place of well-being. Below is a synopsis of some of the therapeutic counselling approaches I utilize, as well as areas of specialty. Most individuals have traumatic events happen in life during childhood and/or adulthood.

If you are sick on the day of your appointment, please contact me to reschedule. For missed appointments (without 24 hour cancellation or in the case of emergency/illness) there will be a full charge for the session. If you are late for your appointment there is a full charge for the session. Payment is due at the end of each session by cash, cheque, or credit card only.

Each year I set aside a portion of my fees for training and professional development. I schedule time off work 3-4 times a year to gain additional knowledge and skills that I believe will quicken the healing process. I believe strongly in the healing power of knowledge and as a result strive to keep my brain fresh with current research and best practice, so that you can get the most effective and efficient service for your investment in health.
