Grief & Loss
Grief sucks. It hurts in ways words cannot describe. It can feel so heavy and unbearable that you don't even know how you can go on. You are not alone - even though it can feel that way. Together we can find ways that help you hold your grief so you can feel like you can live again.
Stress & Burnout
Stress is overwhelming and incredibly hard to handle. When you can't manage your stress, burnout takes over. Having supported many clients with experiences of stress, burnout, and caregiver support. I welcome to opportunity to work with you if this is something you are looking for help with.
Anger
Anger causes problems at work, in your relationships, and with how you feel about yourself. It takes over how you talk, how you act, and has really intense urges. You don't have to keep feeling this way. If you want to feel more in control and relaxed, working on your anger is a great place to start.
Anxiety
Unrealistic negative racing thoughts are not a normal part of everyday life. Neither is feeling jittery, or on edge, having difficulty breathing, having a racing heart, or having difficulties concentrating or focusing. Learning specific helpful skills can be the difference of living as you are, to living as you want to be.
Life Changes and Transitions
Changing your life from what it used to be to something new and unknown can be scary. If you feel alone or unsure of how to take the next steps in your life, talking to a counsellor can be highly effective and helpful. Get support in making decisions that can make the transition easier.

I’ve been volunteering and working in the field of psychology since 2013. I received a Master’s degree from Adler University in 2015, and opened this practice in 2017.
I’ve volunteered and worked in Hospice Bereavement Support, working with many individuals ranging from age 5 to age 97 in individual, couples, family and group settings during some of clients’ most altering life transitions and adjustments.
I have worked in Community Mental Health in the adult and older adult programs. I have supported folks navigating new and long term mental health concerns such as Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Assertiveness, Caregiver Burnout, Life Changes and Transitions, and Anger in both one to one and group settings.
I love what I do. I love it because people just like you find me and think I might be a good fit. Then, you take the bravest step and contact me to get started on your counselling journey. From there, you share some of the most vulnerable and private experiences you’ve had, trusting me to help you feel better. And from past client’s experiences – they do! And I hope you will too.
How do we get there? That path is different for each and every client. You might benefit best from building skills and learning more about why you are feeling , thinking and behaving they way you are. Or you might benefit from a more focused and structured approach where we bring in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), TIR (Traumatic Incident Reduction), or DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy). No matter what direction we take, all of the work we do together will be designed with you and your concerns guiding the process. I am a counsellor who enjoys learning many different skillsets to be able to offer you services that work for you.

- I'm here for a reason and a season. What we focus on, and our length of time together is determined by you, and guided by me.
This book is focused on words of how wonderful all children are. Too many children grow up not hearing or knowing the many wonderful qualities they possess. This lack may very well contribute to poor self-esteem and self-worth from a young age. By teaching children early on about the positive qualities they have, their self-esteem and self-worth can be energized and built early in life, and hopefully they will grow into mentally well teens and adults.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, working in both the private and public sector, Devan Christian-Vermeer has worked with many adults who have struggled to see these qualities in themselves their whole lives. By using this book to teach children the language of their positive qualities, they can learn to see their own strengths and to use them as they grow up.
