Thank you for coming across my profile! I completed my Master of Counselling Psychology at Adler University and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I am also pursuing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) at Adler University. I am Syrian - Canadian and was raised in the United Arab Emirates. I moved to Canada when I was 17 years old to pursue my passion in psychology. I completed my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology at York University. My background has allowed me to develop a strong sense of cultural identity and appreciation for the value of diversity. My experiences have given me a unique perspective on mental health that I bring into my work. I value spending time with loved ones, writing poetry, exploring, and learning about mental health. I believe finding activities that bring joy and fulfilment into a person’s life is essential. I believe therapy is a collaborative and supportive space between you and I, in which we can work together to identify and achieve your goals. The therapy room is a space for you to feel safe and comfortable. By creating that, we can then work together to peel back the layers of who you are, explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and work on making positive changes in your life. I am strongly committed to helping others through therapy, and I approach my work from a non- judgmental and compassionate stance. I believe that you are your greatest strength and I am here with you. You do not need to be alone in this journey. I offer individual therapy for adults in both English and Arabic, as language can be an important barrier to accessing mental health care. I take a holistic approach to therapy, as this allows me to consider many factors that can impact your mental health and well-being. By considering your past experiences, childhood, environment, intersectionality and identity, I can understand who you are and how these elements may be influencing your current situation. I use various therapy modalities, including Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Gottman Couples Therapy, Levels 1 & 2. If you want to learn more about who I am and how therapy would look, please feel free to book a consultation with me. I am more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have. I look forward to us connecting! https://www.resiliencepsychotherapy.com/ourpractitioners/blog-post-title-four-hsb2j monthly 0.5 2026-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fbd06bb2175043a0aa945/5cd80f3d-e94f-4321-9335-9b85a17d1369/PXL_20210320_233216751.PORTRAIT_2+copy.jpg Our Practitioners - Karolina Taracha; Trauma, Couples and Relationship Therapist - My name is Karolina Taracha and I am a Master Practitoner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC) 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. Relationships contribute immensely to our mental health. We are wired for connection. Yet, as anyone knows, they can be extremely stressful and put us out of balance, especially when strong emotions overcome us. It is not uncommon to feel sad, disappointed, frustrated or misunderstood when someone we care about just doesn’t seem to get us. If you are currently struggling in your relationship, you keep having the same arguments and it feels like you are stuck in a cycle getting nowhere, conversing about it with a trained professional might just be the next step for you. If you are desiring a change but cannot seem to make it happen, I can help you understand yourself more, find your voice and communicate more freely and effectively so that you can solve disagreements in healthy ways and make your relationships stronger and more fulfilling. In my work I combine Emotional-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Narrative and Somatic (body-focused) modalities. I use a client-centred, trauma-informed perspective. I am inspired by positive psychology and truly believe that although we cannot control our past, we decide how we show up on our journey today. In my private life I am an avid hiker, a traveler and a nature enthusiast. I love discovering new places and experiencing different cultures. Prior to Canada I lived in Poland, England, Italy and Australia. Before becoming a counsellor I worked professionally in the HR field, always supporting individuals. I am an observant listener, an empathetic communicator and a seer of opportunities. Happiness for me is about making conscious choices resulting from self-discovery and inner healing.

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. I started my therapy career as a call-taker, clinical trainer, and mentor for volunteer call-takers during my years as a staff member on the Fraser Health Crisis Line. I had the privilege of directly supporting our diverse callers with a range of issues including depression, social anxiety, PTSD, grief and loss, low self-esteem, chronic pain, and suicidal ideation. I hold a Crisis Worker Certification from the American Association of Suicidology (2017). Some of my areas of specialization include working with anxiety, depression, sex and sexuality, intimacy issues and interpersonal stress. Approach As a therapist, I work from a compassionate, collaborative, and relational approach. We are in this together. My approach is nonjudgmental and gentle. My empathic listening and crisis intervention skills are a stable base for my counselling work, letting us focus fully on the moment with the knowledge that our space is safe, secure, and trauma-informed. I draw from a variety of different approaches to best fit you, including internal family systems therapy, somatic (body-based) therapies, person-centred therapy, compassion focused therapy, and depth therapies (Adlerian brief therapy, Jungian/archetypal, psychodynamic brief therapy). https://www.resiliencepsychotherapy.com/ourpractitioners/janice-cormier-mindful-self-compassion-facilitator monthly 0.5 2024-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fbd06bb2175043a0aa945/375e1cee-0ced-46bb-aced-8730d6aa492e/Sans+titre.png Our Practitioners - Janice Cormier, Mindful Self Compassion Facilitator - Janice Cormier (MA) is an educator specializing in experiential learning, somatic learning, and Mindfulness & Self Compassion cultivation practices.

Couples and Relationship Therapist My name is Karolina Taracha and I am a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling 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. Relationships contribute immensely to our mental health. We are wired for connection. Yet, as anyone knows, they can be extremely stressful and put us out of balance, especially when strong emotions overcome us. It is not uncommon to feel sad, disappointed, frustrated or misunderstood when someone we care about just doesn’t seem to get us. If you are currently struggling in your relationship, you keep having the same arguments and it feels like you are stuck in a cycle getting nowhere, conversing about it with a trained professional might just be the next step for you. If you are desiring a change but cannot seem to make it happen, I can help you understand yourself more, find your voice and communicate more freely and effectively so that you can solve disagreements in healthy ways and make your relationships stronger and more fulfilling. In my work I combine Emotional-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Narrative and Somatic (body-focused) modalities. I use a client-centred, trauma-informed perspective. I am inspired by positive psychology and truly believe that although we cannot control our past, we decide how we show up on our journey today. In my private life I am an avid hiker, a traveler and a nature enthusiast. I love discovering new places and experiencing different cultures. Prior to Canada I lived in Poland, England, Italy and Australia. Before becoming a counsellor I worked professionally in the HR field, always supporting individuals. I am an observant listener, an empathetic communicator and a seer of opportunities. Happiness for me is about making conscious choices resulting from self-discovery and inner healing.

Everyone is unique in what helps them relax, get into the mood, and ask for what they want and need in the bedroom. A little communication goes a long way, especially when you are guided by a therapist that normalizes the conversation and makes it easy and fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fbd06bb2175043a0aa945/9e05d421-8836-4ac0-8629-83069a39fa7f/pexels-juan-pablo-serrano-arenas-951290.jpg Sex and Intimacy Therapy - Try Group Therapy As part of your services, we also offer the Optimal Sexual Experience group for couples. This group therapy program was developed by Dr. Peggy Kleinplatz, clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and author of the book “Magnificent Sex.” In this group, couples have a chance to explore and overcome different barriers to their sex lives in a fun, supportive group setting. Although the idea of the type of group therapy may sound intimidating, we find that couples end up really appreciating knowing that they are not alone in their intimacy issues and struggles, and they learn a great deal from each other. https://www.resiliencepsychotherapy.com/schema-therapy daily 0.75 2025-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fbd06bb2175043a0aa945/1657292181912-KM4VN3G9HQ1SD8VFA78O/unsplash-image-VdjSLKB3-no.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fbd06bb2175043a0aa945/a962877c-e9b0-4534-9960-cf49e4c09180/kazi-mizan-0G2ZxV31kk4-unsplash.jpg Schema Therapy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fbd06bb2175043a0aa945/0f87ae7c-ed24-45cb-bbaa-d01353dbf987/pexels-klaus-nielsen-6303529.jpg Schema Therapy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fbd06bb2175043a0aa945/2d4074d7-8f87-4985-8ebf-cfd7b2f3f44a/pexels-mahrael-boutros-1215709.jpg Schema Therapy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.resiliencepsychotherapy.com/somatic-therapy-copy daily 0.75 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3fbd06bb2175043a0aa945/f23e5c02-738d-4955-bb3d-868f0189646e/pexels-pnw-production-8981328.jpg Internal Family Systems - Move out of “Fight-Flight-Feeze-Fawn” and towards “Tend and Befriend” in how you relate to yourself According to this approach, we all carry inside of us a Self (a true self, an authentic self, or a higher self, etc.) that is often blocked by Protective parts ("protectors") and Exiled parts ("exiles"), who carry burdens from past hardships. In IFS therapy, we begin to "unblend" from the protective parts that often define how we operate in the world and begin to access Self. Once we anchor in Self, we bring the healing qualities of the Self (compassion, calm, curiosity, clarity, courage) and begin to "reparent" and retrieve our exiled parts, which frees up our protective parts to take on new, creative, and life-enhancing roles in our lives. IFS is based on the radical and freeing idea that there are "no bad parts."
