Rising Minds Counselling and Psychotherapy

Individual therapy

A space to slow down and understand yourself

One-to-one online therapy for adults across British Columbia and Ontario — a place to feel heard, make sense of what you’re carrying, and move forward.
Does this sound like you?

You don’t have to keep carrying it alone

◆

Wherever you are in your journey, we’re here to help — with online counselling and psychotherapy.

You’re holding it together on the outside, but running on empty underneath.
The same worries loop at 2am and you can’t switch your mind off.
You keep pushing everything down until it comes out sideways.
You’ve lost touch with who you are outside of what you do for everyone else.
Something feels off and you can’t quite name it, and you’re tired of pretending you’re fine.
You want to understand why you keep ending up in the same place.

If you recognize yourself in any of these, individual therapy may be worth exploring.

What we help with

Support for what you’re facing

◆

Anxiety & overwhelm

Racing thoughts, worry, panic, and pressure that never quite lets up.

Depression & low mood

Heaviness, numbness, lost motivation, or just not feeling like yourself.

Stress & burnout

Running on empty, resentment, and the exhaustion of holding it all together.

Trauma & the past

Old wounds, painful memories, and patterns that still shape how you feel today.

Self-worth & self-criticism

The harsh inner voice, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and imposter feelings.

Life transitions & identity

Change, loss, direction, and the question of who you are and what you want.

Why Rising Minds

Care grounded in professional training and lived understanding

Erica brings together graduate training in counselling psychology, an earlier career in healthcare as a sports chiropractor and kinesiologist, and extensive lived experience of resilience and adversity.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario, she approaches therapy through an integrated mind-body lens, committed to meeting each client as a whole person rather than simply a set of symptoms.

How it works

A calm, confidential space that’s entirely yours.

Each session offers a private, unhurried space to think out loud, feel what you feel, and be met without judgment. Together, we can explore not only what is happening on the surface, but also the experiences, patterns, and responses that may be shaping how you feel today.

Erica works from a culturally informed, trauma-informed and nervous system-aware perspective, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Therapy is collaborative and guided by your experiences, needs, and goals, with space to deepen your understanding of yourself and what matters to you.

We take time to understand what brought you here and what you’d like to feel different. You set the pace. There’s no expectation to share more than you’re ready to.

That’s entirely up to you. Some people come for a specific challenge over a few months; others value ongoing support. We check in regularly on what’s working for you.

Research suggests that virtual therapy can be effective for many concerns and many clients. Whether online therapy is appropriate for you depends on your individual needs, circumstances and preferences. Many people also value the ease of meeting from their own space, with no commute and no waiting room.
