Sage Bloom

Virtual Counselling

Welcome, I'm so glad you're here.

My name is Emily Johnston and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC, #10009785) offering virtual therapy along the Sunshine Coast and throughout British Columbia.

I am a trauma-informed therapist specializing in the treatment of trauma, abuse, PTSD, complex trauma, childhood trauma, and medical trauma.

I gratefully live and work on the traditional and treaty territory of the Tla'amin peoples.

My favourite DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) skill is called T.I.P.P. I use this skill in so many different situations in my life. Having a thought spiral? Try changing your temperature with a cold drink or hot bath. Feeling depression taking over? Try an intense exercise such as 10 squats to get your heart pumping. Anxiety in control? Try paced breathing, I like to use the square breath. Can't sleep? Try progressive muscle relaxation. #DBTSkills #therapytools #anxietyrelief #DepressionTherapy

It feels necessary to address the hopelessness many are feeling at this time. As Emily Dickinson wrote, "hope is the thing with feathers". It is fragile and yet resilient.
When many news stories and world events feel bigger and present impossible problems for one person to overcome, it is worth remembering the power of hope.
If finding your hope is feeling impossible, reach out to friends, family, or professionals to help. #hope #powerofhope

How do you handle the stress in your life? When we experience intense stress that we have no control over, problems often emerge that therapy can help with. #stressmanagement #therapy
