Tanya Kutschera

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor specializing in couples and individual counselling. I offer in-person and online counselling, using a variety of modalities. I am known for my compassionate, caring, and wise (due to my age) nature. I am passionate about supporting and empowering growth, development, and desire for meaningful change in order to become the best you can be. I have over 25-years of experience as a teacher, coach, and facilitator and counsellor in Canada, US, India, and Costa Rica. Counselling is a collaborative partnership based on trust, respect, and equality. You ultimately must do the work and I bring all my skills and experience to work along beside you. This can be in the form of teaching, guiding, supporting, championing, and challenging you. My priorities as the counsellor are to support and effect desired healthy change in the life of You, my clients. I am committed to doing this by providing a non-judgmental, compassionate, honest, safe space conducive to your self-exploration of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I offer tools, tips, strategies, and resources aligned to support your unique needs. My integrated therapy approach is person-centered, holistic and goal oriented, focusing on client strengths and supporting the empowerment of the client to work towards their desired goals. I use a variety of modalities that incorporate talk therapy and somatic work, these include CBT, (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT, Couples Developmental Model, Attachment theory, Compassion Focused Therapy, mindfulness, meditation, visualization and art (when appropriate) as tools for accessing self-awareness, understanding, insight and growth.
