About Deb

Deb Cehak is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. She offers counselling to individuals, couples, and families. Deb works with young children, teens, and adults. She believes in working relationally with clients, and strives to create an environment which is safe, open-minded, and non-judgmental. Deb’s areas of focus are grief and loss, and working with parents, couples, teens, and families.

Approach to Counselling:

Deb is trained in narrative therapy and she believes in collaboration, curiosity, and respect. She understands that dilemmas, problems, and obstacles can come to dominate our lives, pulling us towards dark ideas and stories in which we can feel hopeless, lost, fearful, and disconnected. Deb works with her clients to identify the challenges in their lives and explore how to move into more spaces of joy and preferred ways of living.

Part of her practice looks at the contexts in which our problems are created, which includes but is not limited to conversations around age, sexuality, gender, class, race, ethnicity, ability, and spirituality. Deb believes that our identities, lives, and dilemmas as well, are created within a broader relational, social, and cultural context.
