Chris Graham
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist
I believe that meaningful connections are central to our wellbeing and that therapy offers a safer space for exploring and creating such relationships. I believe that such connections can help in embedding wellbeing in our lives and provide the support we need to overcome our struggles. I have experience working with folks facing a number of struggles and experiences, including anxiety, depression, trauma, people of diverse abilities, sex and sexuality, trans and gender diverse care, and intersections between these identities and experiences.
I believe that a healthy connection is a very important part of an effective therapeutic relationship. Book your free 20 minute meet & greet today to see if I am the right fit for you.

Kristy Ricard
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MACP, HBSc
I'm Accepting NEW Clients! - Are you looking for support in navigating anxious thoughts or feelings, or what feels like a dark cloud following you around? Are you tired of feeling like you’re not enough, or like the standards expected are exhausting to meet? Is a new life change causing stress or needing exploring? Do you feel burdened by obsessive thinking, or difficulties with food and body image? Are there relationships in your life that you’d like to explore, or better understand how you feel when around others? Are you simply hoping to build self-awareness or coping strategies?
I'll help create the space for you to gain insight, learn new strategies and skills, and explore the thoughts and feelings that currently take over your before, now, and future. We'll aim to move you towards feeling more confident in your ability to handle things, and meet your therapy goals.
It's normal if reaching out feels scary. I've worked with individuals in public, athletics, and private health settings, and i'm looking forward to connecting with you. I offer text, phone, virtual, and Walk & Talk Sessions in Chilliwack (outdoor therapy).

Carl Conradi
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, MSc, MBA
My name is Carl Conradi, and I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I’m an integratively-trained counsellor, which means that I draw upon three different therapeutic approaches – existential, cognitive-behavioural (CBT), and psychodynamic – to help support processes that are warm, exploratory, philosophical, and totally unique to each client.
My particular approach to counselling is highly relational and non-pathologising. I believe that all psychological experiences are instructive – even those that feel unbearable – and that within the context of the bond that you and I will create together, you’ll be invited to explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and being in the world.
I work with adult and adolescent individuals who are experiencing a wide array of psychological challenges, including (but not limited to): attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, loneliness, men’s issues, problematic anger, obsessive-compulsiveness (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship difficulties, and/or work-related stress. I’m also very skilled at working alongside folks who are navigating major life changes, such as: bereavement, diagnosis, divorce, job insecurity or loss, etc.
I’m a passionate advocate of mental wellbeing within the LGBTQIA+, veteran and first responder, and consensually non-monogamous communities.
