Hi. I'm Marta, owner and psychotherapist for Evans Family Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Let's get real for a moment. Our medical model of mental health is failing so many of us. Mental health issues are on the rise across all age groups and genders, and there just isn't the help available through our publicly funded healthcare system. Often when you do find help, the focus is on counteractive therapies that work at suppressing, pushing away, or changing symptoms, thoughts, feelings, etc.
I started this practice to help people like you rediscover your strengths and gifts through conversations and transformational therapies that honour who you are, where you've come from, and what is possible today. I believe that sometimes we all could use a little help in our journey towards healing, health, and enjoyment.
You've been to therapy before, and you've talked about your issues but you don't really feel like you've healed your issues. Or maybe you've gotten to the point in therapy where you feel stuck.
Or, something might feel off but you've always decided that your problems aren't "bad enough" for therapy because others have it worse than you do.
We get it.
The anxiety and self doubt. Drinking/eating/thinking/worrying/scrolling too much. Feeling the pull of perfectionism. Constantly running to attain what we think we're supposed to chase after. Wondering why some of our reactions and behaviours happen. Hating some aspects of ourselves and really not showing up in a way that we know we can. And seeking answers to all of this and just not finding it in therapy.
At Evans Family Counselling & Psychotherapy (EFCP) our approach emphasizes a holistic perspective that respects the complexity of individuals and their experiences without labeling or pathologizing them. Instead of viewing struggles as inherently negative or indicative of dysfunction, we aim to help you navigate your challenges with compassion and understanding.
By focusing on fostering healthier connections, both with oneself and with others, we empower clients to develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and interpersonal skills. This approach acknowledges that healing and growth are ongoing processes that involve embracing vulnerability, learning from experiences, and cultivating meaningful connections.
So if you're looking for warm, understanding therapists who truly "get it", look no further. We're here to offer you a safe space where we'll walk alongside you, help you explore your inner trails, meet your challenges head on, and celebrate your victories.
Our therapists foster an emotionally safe environment where clients can explore difficult feelings, experiences, and memories without feeling overwhelmed or re-traumatized. We provide support, validation, and coping strategies to help clients regulate their emotions and manage distress effectively.
We approach clients with empathy, respect, and acceptance, regardless of their background, beliefs, or behaviours.
We empower clients to voice their opinions, preferences, and concerns throughout the therapeutic journey.
We uphold high ethical standards, maintain professionalism, and prioritize the well-being and autonomy of clients throughout the therapeutic process.
Our aim is to cultivate authenticity in our interactions with clients by being genuine, sincere, and congruent in our words and actions.
We don't withhold important information or misrepresent our abilities or expertise.
We support clients in exploring and clarifying their own goals and priorities instead of imposing our own agenda or values onto clients.
We are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based care that is tailored to meet the individual needs of each client while upholding the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and client-centered practice.
Our therapists continually engage in professional development to enhance their clinical skills, expand their knowledge base, and stay current with developments in the field of psychotherapy.
We strive to understand the cultural context of clients' lives and how it may influence their beliefs, values, and experiences, and we adapt our therapeutic approach accordingly to ensure that treatment is culturally sensitive and relevant.
