Alyshia Wagstaff

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? I support adults navigating trauma, stress, substance use, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll work to help you feel more grounded, build healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change.

‍

My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in nervous system regulation and somatic therapy. I integrate elements of CBT, DBT, attachment therapy, mindfulness, and cultural safety, tailoring my work to what each client brings. With over 14 years of experience in mental health and substance use, my background in social work, language education, and creative practices like dance and performance gives me flexibility, creativity, and a unique perspective. My own life experiences have also deeply informed my approach, helping me connect with clients in an authentic and compassionate way.

‍

As a registered mental health counsellor with the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program, I also support Indigenous clients exploring identity, intergenerational trauma, and the ongoing impacts of colonization, including those with connections to residential schools.

‍

Based in British Columbia, I offer virtual therapy to clients in Ontario.

‍

Counselling is not one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re seeking new tools or a space to feel truly seen, I’d be honoured to walk with you on your healing journey.

If you’re ready, I warmly invite you to book a consultation.
