Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately by your emotions and life demands? Do you sometimes feel like you have exhausted your coping resources and no longer know how to move forward? If so, do not worry or judge yourself. We have all felt like this at some point in our lives. Let me introduce myself: I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (www.ninahopmeiercounselling.ca), and am extremely passionate about the counselling process due to building a strong and trusting bond with my clients. I work from a supportive and nonjudgmental stance, focusing on strengths and resources that lead to positive change and growth.

Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
Reaching out for support shows you are already aware that you are in some form of pain and you want to do something different. Your relationships may be struggling, you may feel disconnected, you may be experiencing thoughts and feelings that are feeling unmanageable or living in a state of shame. Over my time as a therapist (and in going through my own journey) I have seen how that what brings people toward truly feeling better is learning to be more self compassionate, building acceptance of their own story and how it has affected their life and developing a more peaceful relationship with the thoughts and feelings that they experience.
I am passionate about helping folks build a better relationship with themselves, which ultimately leads to better relationships with others and have witnessed and experienced how therapy really supports us with this.
Choose me as your therapist, and you're opting for a compassionate guide on your path to personal growth and healing. With a solid foundation in psychology from both Simon Fraser University in Canada and Montfort College in India, along with a rich background in counselling diverse populations, I bring a holistic and collaborative approach to therapy.
Counselling is akin to a mental gym, where we exercise and strengthen your mind. Often, people are unaware of the patterns and thought processes that perpetuate negative emotions and experiences. My mission is to collaborate with you, empowering you not only to conquer your challenges but also to liberate yourself from self-defeating beliefs. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey, unlocking your full potential and creating a life of fulfillment and positivity.
I believe that therapy needs to feel welcoming, warm, and impactful to your life. I enjoy working with a holistic model of therapy that incorporates a mind and body connection. As we work through your current challenge, peeling back layers of self discovery, I believe it’s also important to work on goals and habit of change to propel you into the life you want to experience.
