Counsellor Directory
This innovative membership service serves to promote business information about your counselling practice, specialized services and skills as well as the ability to upload a profile picture and business logo. With futurist trends heading towards a generation that seeks information online as well as a specific set of skills, knowledge and experience, the CPCA believes this directory will provide a competitive edge for marketing our member's counselling services across Canada to the public, insurance providers, EAP contractors and government for verification of your legitimacy. All members who are in "good standing" will be approved to list their contact information in the directory on an annual basis. It allows our members to login to their directory listing once it has been approved and make any changes to their contact information.

Description
Hello and welcome, my name is Tara Oakes, I operate a counselling private practice, Bridging Change Counselling in beautiful British Columbia.
Are you looking for a change in your life, but you just don’t know how to make it happen, or maybe you just need a bit of additional support through a difficult time? At Bridging Change Counselling, I provide a safe, genuine, professional counselling experience that is affordable and accessible through online counselling, supporting youth and adult clients experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, crisis/trauma, relationship issues, stress, and general mental health issues. I value a client centred approach within a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) framework highlighting the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Through the development of healthy thinking and behavioural patterns, adaptive coping strategies, education, and new skills, collaboratively we will work together to develop an individualized plan to decrease the symptoms/issues negatively impacting your life. I am committed to providing an empathetic, non-judgemental environment for you to be seen and heard from your own unique perspective.
Logistically, I graduated with academic distinction from the prestigious Stenberg Counselling Therapist Private Practice Program. I completed my one-year practicum with Moving Forward Family Services located in Vancouver, BC where I had the opportunity and privilege to counsel a diverse group of clients with a wide range of mental health issues. I am a registered member of the professional counselling associations including the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA), the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT).
