Ari Grobler M.Ed., R.C.C. (Registration: 18548)
Welcome!
I have more than 16-years of experience working with Vulnerable Communities and Human Services. Over the course of my career I have had the privilege of working with populations in various settings, such as schools and corrections. In particular, it has been my pleasure to work with military families, veterans, and immigrants from diverse cultural backgrounds. My work has afforded me the opportunity to work collaboratively with individuals and families living with a number of conditions and life circumstances, such as addiction, caregiver stress, and chronic pain. In addition, I have worked extensively with children and young adults with special needs and abilities in developing life skills, identifying and working towards goals, and facilitating community inclusion.
I am well-traveled and have lived and worked throughout Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, and North West Territories). Additionally, I have lived and worked abroad in the Middle-East, Australia, Asia, and Europe. Through my work and travel I was able to interact with Caucasians, Muslims, Newcomers, Refugees and First Nation populations, which endowed me with invaluable experiences.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC# 18548) and a member, in good standing, of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I am also a Registered Counselling Therapist with the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta (ACTA), and a professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
My Approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy
I work collaboratively with my clients to help them discover and strengthen their internal resources, develop goals, and strive for growth. I am driven by curiosity and take a holistic approach to wellbeing. I believe that the mind, body, and spirit are connected and impact each other. Specific therapeutic modalities include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Play Therapy, Sand Play/Sand Therapy, Trauma Informed therapy, Psycho-education, Gestalt, Adlerian and Jungian approaches.
