Alanah Woodland

As a counselor/therapist I offer to walk beside you and help you to improve relationships, create more self-awareness, navigate life transitions, figure out how you want to parent, go thru grief,  or do some deep work in childhood or other trauma. We work together at your pace and comfort level offering gentleness as we invite curiosity and courage to look at the place or space you want to grow, understand or heal. I do counselling work with individuals, couples, families & I also work delivering creative expressive or land based embodied wellness workshops, for professionals, students, or other groups focused on their own wellness.  I have a soft spot for children and youth and dedicate some of my practice to providing services to them and their families.

I have a strong commitment to helping people work through recent, past, or intergenerational challenges, traumas, and losses to help them reconnect to their hearts and improve their overall wellbeing as individuals and family members.  My personal experiences with extensive trauma and my own healing work have given me great compassion that helps me work with clients with care and understanding.   I work from a holistic culturally inclusive trauma-based practice perspective respecting and honoring the whole of the mind/body/spirit/heart of each of my clients. I often draw on the healing strength of the land and my own cultural traditions and invite clients to use the land and their culture as part of the therapeutic process.
