Hello. My name is Heather Price and I have had a private practice in the downtown area of Nanaimo since 1997.
Starting out as a music therapist, I later went back to school and received a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology and became a Canadian Certified Counsellor through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. In addition, I am certified as a Crisis Worker through the American Association of Suicidology.
Based on my belief that the client is his or her own best resource, I work from a client strength-based health perspective and enjoy facilitating healing and personal growth in children, youth, and adults.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever the issue or therapeutic approach being utilized:
• I provide a safe, confidential, and compassionate environment, always working from a client strength-based health perspective.
• I work within a holistic framework through which clients gain increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, and healing in all arenas of their life.
• I help clients work through areas of dysfunction, and to develop new and more adaptive ways of being - ways that are free from disruptive thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
• I help clients tap into their own strengths and resources to rediscover their own meaning and to attain greater joy in life.
