About Leslie

Welcome to your pathway to peace. I am Leslie Fahr, a registered clinical counsellor offering telephone and virtual sessions for children, youth, families and adults who are actively seeking talk therapy to improve their situations.

I believe that all people have within themselves the capacity to find inner peace and live their best lives.

I believe that all people have strength and resilience.

I also know that life can get confusing, overwhelming, stressful, scary and exhausting. We all need support and encouragement to find our pathway to our peaceful lives.

I have 28 years of experiences with people of all ages and from many cultural backgrounds. I have provided therapeutic services to children and families in the foster care system and in the justice system. I have supported youth and adults breaking free from the chains of many types of addictions; such as substances, gambling and sex. I have worked in schools as a district school counsellor and understand the complexities of navigating education with ADHD, ASD, FASD, learning disorders, trauma. I have eight years of experience with moderate to severe mental health clients supporting both diagnosis and treatment. I have seen significant progress, growth and healing outcomes for the children, youth, families and adults I have had the privilege to walk along side as they search for their freedom from suffering and emotional pain.

I have lived in overseas in Indonesia, Australia, Ethiopia and Vietnam. I have also had the privilege of living in New Aiyansh, Vancouver Island, Penticton and Edmonton; experiencing remote communities and bustling cities. Where we live, how we live, what we believe and connect to is a part of who we are and our personal paths.

Much of my experience has been in person, however the world is changing and many people prefer to attend sessions from the comfort of their homes. I have four years of experience with telephone and virtual counselling and very much enjoy connecting with people over the phone or virtually.

I am trained in cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, trauma therapy, family based therapy, emotion focused therapy, internal family systems, play therapy, expressive therapy, motivational interviewing.

I am confident that you will find that I am available, connected, and helpful in understanding your specific needs and that you can expect a professional assessment and treatment plan to guide you on your path.
