đź‘Źđź‘ŹWelcome Yana to the Words of Hope Counselling team!

The clients Yana works with appreciate her calm, thoughtful presence and her ability to balance compassion with practical strategies for change.

As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, Yana works with individuals who feel pressure to “have it all together,” yet privately experience anxiety, self-criticism, or emotional exhaustion. 

Yana is passionate about working with women who are navigating the emotional and relational shifts that can occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period, including mood changes, increased anxiety, evolving identity, and adjustments within relationships. The transition into motherhood can bring both meaningful joy and unexpected challenges, and therapy can offer a supportive space to process these experiences while building self-compassion during this stage of life.

Here’s a reminder to pause and evaluate your online habits (this is something we should be doing regularly!).

Studies show us that boredom is actually supportive of creativity. Giving ourselves the time to daydream, get comfortable with empty spaces, and disconnect from constant stimulation is actually how we welcome creative sparks! 🎨✨

If you are feeling any of the following things, it may be time for an online detox:

👉Depleted, exhausted, or miserable every time you log off from your phone

👉Lack of focus 

👉Anxiousness in idle moments and the urge to fill empty spaces with mindless activity (ex. scrolling on your phone)

👉Hopelessness or dread from consuming too much negative news

Talking to a therapist can lift these emotional burdens and help you regain control of your online habits. 

We’re here to support you and guide you on a path of inner alignment. 💖

As a parent, it can be difficult to know how to help when your teen is struggling. You might notice changes in their mood, behaviour, or communication, but feel unsure of how to reach them.

What does the therapy process look like for teens?

👉Therapy can provide a supportive, non-judgemental space for teens to explore their thoughts and feelings, process life experiences, and build insight through open conversation.

👉Sessions are customized to each individual’s needs.

👉For teens who express themselves more easily through creativity, we use art-based techniques to help them process emotions in non-verbal, imaginative ways.

👉Your teen’s therapist may provide strategies like breathwork, visualization, and body awareness to help teens manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm in the moment.

👉While respecting your teen’s privacy, our therapists will maintain open communication with you, offering insight, guidance, and support to help your family move forward together.

We also offer family sessions to improve communication between parents and children.

🤍Need more information? Visit our website (the link is in our bio) to learn more about our therapists and how therapy could benefit your teen.

Here’s a reminder that you don’t need to jump into fixing mode when you notice an unpleasant emotion. 🩵

We may have learnt in childhood that embodying certain feelings is not safe. 

As adults, we can actually rewire our responses and create a supportive environment within ourselves to process difficult emotions. 

How do we move into safety and teach ourselves to regulate our anxiety?

👉By noticing and affirming our experience BEFORE trying to fix it.

Doing this takes practice, patience, and compassion, but it is so worth it. 

Need help processing your anxiety?
