Dawn Schooler, Director of Clinical Services at Jericho Counselling, is passionate about providing services that help people dealing with mental health issues.
When you help one person, it can make a huge difference to 10 or 15 or 30 other people in the world who are connected to that one person, she says. I believe this world is a tough place to be, everybody has a hard time, and anything I can do to make it a little easier gives me a reason to go to work every day.
Since 2001, Jerichos three locations (West Broadway, Burnaby and Coal Harbour) have offered a range of accessible services for better mental health. From addiction and anger management to child and youth counseling to eating disorders, their team of experienced, personable counsellors empower you with the guidance and tools to tackle almost any emotional issue.
We help individuals, couples and families. Weve had clients as young as two and half come into our office and weve had clients who are in their 90s good mental health is important for everyone.
Jericho Counselling approaches mental health proactively, addressing any problems early on and enabling the person to cope with those issues later on if needed.
We think about mental health in terms of emotional fitness, Dawn says. Its something you work at. You dont have to be a complete mess or have your life falling apart to need help. To be physically fit, you dont go to the gym one or two times and then youre done, with emotional fitness, its the same thing.
Im not saying counseling should go on and on. The best counseling gives you the tools to help with your mental health throughout your entire life and thats what we can do.
Dawn says that their services are very client focused, ensuring the person is comfortable and happy with their Jericho experience. Not only do they offer a free, in-person consultation ensuring you are happy with your choice, but even after payment for the first session, they will provide a refund if youre not completely satisfied.
We call it our Happiness Guarantee, she says. Before you ever make a payment, youll know that you like the therapist and want to come back. And if you are not satisfied with the level of service you receive from our clinic, we will happily refund your money, for any individual session or experience.
But not after 10 sessions, she adds with a laugh.
