While our psychological approach is effective for a broad range of problem areas, we DO NOT work with people with severe and persistent mental illness, people requiring detox from substance abuse or people seeking immediate crisis support.
-
Yes! The Akoya model was built for clients living across BC. We start by working online, then in-person outdoors, and finally adding a therapy retreat if you like. Our two locations are resort towns with many services, so fly in for just the day or stay a few and make a weekend of it!
-
We look forward to serving you regardless of ability, age, ancestry, citizenship status, gender identity or expression, marital status, military status, national origin, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.
However, therapy and wellness outdoors requires minimum levels of physical mobility and mental health. We will assess your fit for this service in an online intake session and do our best to adapt to your needs where possible.
Please know we DO NOT have the capacity to support severe or persistent mental illness, detox from substance abuse or immediate and acute crisis support.

Wellness is integrated into the sessions at your pace.

4-hour session includes two and a half-hours of therapy, one-hour of wellness activities, and a half-hour self-guided break for nourishment, rest, and integration.

YES. Kick back, put your feet up, and grab a cup of tea. We will call you over a secure and confidential video line compliant with BC and Canada’s privacy laws.
-
YES. Keep in mind we may encounter others out in nature and your emotional and physical safety are always our priority.
-
Wear comfortable walking shoes with a solid grip and ankle support, dress for the weather, and wear layers. Umbrellas are not suitable for the rainforest of Vancouver Island or the winds on the beach in Tofino.
-
No. This is slow to moderate contemplative walking or gentle movement. Nothing strenuous.
However, therapy and wellness outdoors requires minimum levels of physical mobility and mental health. We will assess your fit for this service together during intake in an online session, and do our best to adapt to your needs where possible.
-
We welcome rain, snow, or shine! Hey. We’re British Columbians. Generally, we just put on gear and head outside. But we do have the Riverside Therapy Studio in the Courtenay location and the Beachside Therapy Studio in Tofino for refuge as needed – so that’s always an option. Your call.
Additionally, we can move our session online if that is preferred.
-
No. Art as therapy is a form of personal expression to support emotional growth. It is not about making something beautiful but that could happen by accident!
