Okanagan Therapeutic Counselling
The therapeutic counselling process begins with some paperwork and telling Ezreena what is going for you. She will then help identify the main topics, explain how her approach will help you and describe any trauma therapy techniques that may be required. She creates a plan that will help you resolve your specific issues.

Her counseling services focus on reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, anger, grief, fear and body disorders. Depression and anxiety often are the symptoms of some underlying incident that wasn't fully processed. A lot of people think that Trauma must be a huge catastrophe in order to be considered traumatic.
Services
These companies reimburse you for my services after you pay me and I give you an official receipt. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm if you have counselling coverage - your employer would have negotiated a specific contract with the health insurance company. I am a Registered Masters Therapeutic Counsellor (MTC), with Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT).
I came to Ezreena at 3 months pregnant after the loss our son who was a born as a stillborn 9 months early. Losing our second son was unexpected and very traumatic. Being pregnant again brought up so many issues for me - I was so anxious and I felt like I wasn't going to survive this pregnancy.

TIR and addressing some of the beleifs I had picked up through our traumatic loss was so beneficial in terms of managing my anxiety and processing the trauma that we had lived through.I am still grieving our son and I am still scared something will happen in this pregnancy but I am no longer feeling paralyzed by it.
This last workshop was very good and gave me lots to think about : Also received $6000 tax return the next day. I wasn't expecting that much of a return! How does it get better than that?! The day after the workshop, to my surprise, and both not surprising in the least, a photography client secured a date with me to take some maternity photos!
Ezreena has worked with many diverse populations, including the Military Police with National Defence Canada, administration with the Honourable Robert Kaplan on Parliament Hill, administration and procurement with Supply & Services Canada (Quebec and Alberta), telemarketing for University of Ottawa Alumni and Customer service and sales for BC Tel / Telus.
Then Ezreena helps to identify the main topics and goal of therapy and explains how her approach will help you ~ to make sure it is a good fit for what you are looking for! Most clients attend once per week, however, I have had clients request 3 sessions per week (depending on circumstances). In order to reap the benefits of therapeutic counselling clients are required to commit to the process.

When Ezreena & I began working through issues that I was struggling with I would not have believed the outcome of our work together.
Ezreena has been my facilitator through thick and thin as we processed my questions. She has led me into TIR where we discovered that I had not fully processed an early childhood experience. This single childhood incident had greatly affected my ability to cope and thrive. For many years I resisted and minimized this occurrence to a point where it had stunted my personal growth. I am almost 70 years old, I wish I had known how impactful a seemingly small childhood

Complex PTSD caused various challenges through out life not to mention a constant feeling of anxiety. In our 5th session, we did EMDR of which I had a significant response too. All of the after effects have been positive. My memory has improved and the anxiety has gone down, but I plan to go for more sessions with expectations of getting the anxiety totally under control. I have gone to 3 other therapist in the last 2 years, none able to accomplish what we did in these 5 appointments. My spiritual journey led me to Ezreena and her open minded attitude towards my beliefs makes for a safe encouraging

Ezreena has been invaluable counsellor for our family for many years. She is warm, welcoming and easy to open up to you. The processes that she uses (especially EMDR) have been extremely effective in helping resolve varying traumatic life experiences including irrational fears. She is definitely a counsellor that we return to when we feel we need support and we frequently pass her name onto others.

I started seeing Ezreena to help process my childhood emotional trauma. We did a process that is called "unburdening of a relationship" pertaining to my relationship with my mom. This process allowed me to see mine and my mom's relationship from a different perspective. Within one session of doing this process on this specific relationship, I noticed significant differences in the dynamic of mine and my mom's interactions. After the second session I noticed an even greater ease in the dynamic between me and my mom.
Ezreena does an incredible job of creating a safe, comfortable environment to allow

I am so thankful that I was directed to Ezreena. She is exactly who I needed to bring healing into my life. I have struggled with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), and always feeling like I was not enough, all my life. I have tried traditional counselling before at different times throughout my life, but I have never had the results that I am experiencing now with the type of therapies that Ezreena uses. Traumas that used to evoke overwhelming pain have been neutralized. Ezreena has used therapies like Unblocking, TIR, EMDR and body processes to uncover, uproot and resolve traumatic experiences

Before therapy I had acquired several years of notably traumatic experiences in settings which were difficult for my family and friends to relate to. I attempted therapy with several psychologists who were unable to help me, and in some cases brought further distress and confusion. After a considerable amount of time researching online for the most qualified, competent, and effective psychologists in western Canada I came upon Ezreena Scott. I actually moved out to Kelowna to go for intensive counselling. At the very outset of our sessions several notable elements stood out: her unwavering professionalism

I've only been working with Ezreena for a couple months, but it is working wonders for me! Incidents uncovered have shown to link back to childhood. The BARS process and unblocking has been amazing for me. It cleared some past feelings and they don't come up anymore in moments where they normally would. I always feels so good after leaving a session! Thank you for everything you do! :)

I starting seeing Ezreena about two months ago. I was going through a very unexpected break-up and started having some major panic attacks, sometimes up to 6 or 7 a day. It was something I have never experienced before.
I had always considered myself as someone who was good at dealing with adversity because I had dealt with a lot of it starting from a young age. However, Ezreena has helped me to realize that I suppressed much of those experiences, using them as motivation. This motivation was an unhealthy habit for me. It came from a place of inadequacy, making me believe I wasn’t good enough

Ezreena is unlike any other councilor that I have been to. Immediately, she was welcoming and made me comfortable to open up. Then after a few sessions I could already see a change I myself. This is because the methodologies that Ezreena uses were effective and geared towards my specific needs. She is has a number of tools to work with and uses the ones that would help me. (Unlike other councilors I have been to before that only practice one methodology.) Today, I am happier and comfortable in my own skin as a result of seeing Ezreena.

I have been to a few therapists over the years and have rarely felt that they did me any good and often left feeling angry and frustrated. I had a hard time articulating my thoughts because the therapist would make me feel even more anxious and uncomfortable so I completely stopped going and hoped that I could get a handle on things by myself.
Lately things had been feeling hopeless and I have been having difficulty controlling my emotions until my wonderful boyfriend introduced me to Ezreena. I had one session with her and after that one session I felt heard, understood, and hopeful for the first
