I am a people-person and love developing collaborative, therapeutic relationships with my clients. I have been interested in human development, relationships, and resilience for as far back as I can remember. In fact, my clinical training started in my teen years as a volunteer on the teen crisis line and then continued as I volunteered for women shelters and not-for-profits focused on adolescent health. I chose clinical psychology as a field of study because it allowed me to develop an integrated understanding of our psychology, biology, and social functioning.

My name is Sarah Al Kaati and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC. I provide a safe space for couples and individuals to see themselves clearly and work towards understanding their unique needs.

My name is Karolina Taracha and I am a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC) with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association. I work both with individuals and couples who want to enjoy a more purposeful and fulfilling life through the improvement of their relationships, be it with their partner, family, friends or coworkers.

I believe that the growth and healing happen in relationship with others, not alone. I am passionate about working together to create a space of collaboration and trust where my clients can heal, discover their resilience, and reclaim their power.
