Netanya Hauk is a Registered Social Worker and Counsellor at Future Focus Counselling Center in Kamloops, BC. She offers a calm, supportive space where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences and begin the journey of healing. Netanya believes therapy works best when it’s a partnership—built on trust, safety, and a genuine curiosity about what’s possible. Clients often say she is warm, grounded, and deeply present.

Narinder believes that meaningful change begins with understanding what lies beneath the surface. Many of the struggles people face, whether anger, addiction, relationship conflict, or feeling stuck in life, are not the whole story. These patterns are often protective responses shaped by past experiences, environments, and learned ways of coping. Narinder’s work focuses on helping people slow down, look beneath those patterns, and develop healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges.

Gino brings an integrative, holistic, and collaborative approach to therapy, helping individuals and couples move toward greater understanding, healing, and connection. Gino believes therapy works best when it’s a partnership—rooted in safety, trust, and a shared curiosity about what’s possible. Clients often describe Gino as calm, compassionate, and grounded.

Hello and welcome. I’m Zakia Ovington, a trauma therapist specializing in PTSD, complex trauma (CPTSD), childhood trauma, narcissistic and emotional abuse, sexual trauma, and workplace trauma.Many of the people I work with have spent years functioning well on the outside while carrying anxiety, shame, self-doubt, hypervigilance, or a persistent feeling that something isn’t quite right. You may understand what happened to you intellectually, yet still find yourself reacting to situations as though the past is happening all over again.
