Mary Pinniger MA RCC

I am expert therapist in Sechelt to helping you find your way back to your authentic, joyful self.

I read somewhere pain is necessary, suffering is optional. I think that is true. Some pain can be
a byproduct of healthy growing and changing. Suffering however, is not necessary and robs us
of joy and every day happiness. Understanding the difference is an important step in your
healing journey. Depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, addictions, eating disorders often
have a component of self protection. Suffering can be overwhelming so we tend to withdraw in
order to protect ourselves. The more withdrawn we become the more amplified our problems
become.
I will gently and compassionately lead you to understanding and healing. I will teach
you practical every day strategies and tools you can use to find your way back to yourself.

To find your joy, your creativity and your aliveness. This is my commitment to you in this journey we will take together. You do not need to be alone. My childhood left me living in a constant state of overwhelm and post trauma. My journey back to my true self was something that needed to happen in a trusted relationship. I needed to work with a therapist that I could trust. I now am that therapist. I have walked the walk and have found my way back to a life filled with immeasurable and profound joy. I have a heart for people and a compassion for your process. I love what I do and have been doing this with people for 35 years. It is how God is using me.

Profound joy and well-being is our natural birthright. We are genetically programmed to heal.
Understanding is the route to self compassion and forgiveness
