Healing Through Connection

My caseload is full and I am accepting a waitlist. I work with clients 18+ I am a trauma-informed counsellor with a deep commitment to helping individuals heal and grow through the power of storytelling and emotional exploration. In my practice, I combine narrative techniques and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients understand and reshape the stories they hold about themselves, their past, and their relationships.

I believe that everyone has the capacity for change, and by exploring and processing the emotions connected to past experiences, we can rewrite those stories in ways that empower and restore. My approach is grounded in compassion, trust, and a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace.

Whether you’re dealing with trauma, grief, relationship struggles, or just feeling stuck, my goal is to support you in discovering new ways to engage with your emotions, break free from limiting beliefs, and create a life that aligns with your true values. Together, we can work towards healing, resilience, and a more meaningful connection to yourself and to others.

Angela Savage, MA, BSN Counsellor - She/Her/Hers

Works with clients 12 + Online and telephone only

I have extensive experience supporting clients through chronic pain, grief and loss, life transitions, burnout, depression, and anxiety. I have experience with neurodiversity, specifically autism and ADHD.

I hold a holistic view to mind body wellness and use a collaborative approach in working with clients. I believe every individual is the expert of their life. My role is to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental environment. I use a strength’s based and person-centred approach that feels safe and empowering for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings.

I have been working in the healthcare field for over 15 years. I have worked in acute care, mental health, and most recently, in complex palliative care, as a nurse, prior to becoming a therapist. I believe everyone holds their own wisdom and knows what is best for them.

My role is to listen and support, and hold space for the exploration process to occur, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My own lived experiences and challenges have provided me with deep empathy and compassion, and the understanding of how vital support can be when navigating difficult and transitional life experiences.

I have worked extensively with women, men, and teens. I have an eclectic approach that utilizes narrative therapy, solution focused therapy, and somatic awareness, and I also incorporate principles of Hakomi within my counselling.

Because of my 1.5 decades of work as a nurse, I have a unique understanding of medical conditions, medications, and surgical recovery. I am available for short term counselling using a Solution Focused Approach, or longer-term therapy, depending on what is needed and desired. I invite you to book a consultation with me and explore if working together may be helpful for you.

My caseload is currently full and I am accepting clients on my waitlist. I work with clients aged 18+. My name is Callista Vagt and I am an advocate for destigmatizing mental health in our community. This involves not only supporting those that struggle to maintain good mental health, but also talking openly about the challenges. Additionally, I advocate for Prince George to support the arts, hiking and biking trails, and community events, all of which have been proven by research to create good mental health in a community.

I completed the Masters in Education Counselling at UNBC. I was exceptionally grateful to be mentored by both Dr Linda O’Neill and noted couple’s counsellor Dr. John Sherry.

I gravitate toward trauma survivors and their loved ones, likely because I have seen how difficult it can be to find adequate care, but I truly enjoy working with all humans. I keep myself mentally regulated with outdoor activities, an awareness of my own desire to help others, and a firm belief in brain plasticity, all concepts I love to share with my clients if they are curious.

I adhere to the Rogerian theory that states that “everyone is the expert in their own lives”, and I direct my counselling approach to what works for my clients. That being said, I am especially excited to share concepts and somatic exercises that have their roots in Emotionally Focused, Attachment, and Narrative theories.

Being a survivor of my own mental health challenges allows me a unique perspective of what hope can look like and how to find it. No one is a problem to be fixed, no matter the past trauma or present issues. I hope to communicate this to every client I encounter and help them to develop their own self awareness and personal compassion.

I work with Children, Youth and Adults

Sometimes people reach a breaking point and do not know where to turn for support. This can feel overwhelming and isolating. Often, what they need is a safe and unbiased space to talk, reflect, and be heard.

I am a compassionate, neutral, and curious therapist; we can explore and process together your challenges, needs and goals for therapy.

My priority is developing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship; where we journey together with your needs at the centre. In my therapeutic relationship with children, youth or families, my priority is to strengthen the family attachment and promote continuity of care.

I believe clients are the experts in their own lives. In our sessions, we can create a space for reflection, exploration, growth and acceptance. I often take an anti-oppressive approach and seek to understand clients within their environmental contexts. I have always been curious about understanding the human experience, which led me to complete a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Simon Fraser University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC). At UNBC, I counselled students and co-facilitated a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction group as well as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy anxiety group. I am interested in the benefits of using mindfulness techniques to support awareness and grounding. My primary career focus has been supporting older adults and their caregivers as they transition to Complex Care. I have worked with families experiencing major life transitions, family system reorganization, caregiver stress as well as grief and loss. Providing support to families with complex dynamics has led me to be begin training in Emotionally Focused Therapy with a specific interest in families. Overall, I strongly believe clients are resilient and capable. I am committed to supporting clients to live creative and empowered lives.
