Ishtar Beck

M.A., RCC, CPF (she & her)

Welcome!

Within our first session, I am committed to co-creating a conversation to bring about a sense of relief with whatever is troubling you right now. You will be deeply and compassionately listened to. You will be witnessed with radical non-judgment as you work through the challenges you are experiencing. Encouragement to transform your struggles, to rally your strength, and to catalyze your healing will be offered.

I aim not to provide ‘solutions’ to your ‘problems’ — as I firmly believe you are the expert in your life! — but to assist you in reframing and connecting with the power and wisdom within you. I hold a space in which you may reclaim, expand, and deepen your belief in your extraordinary abilities. Your creativity and intuition are already guiding you. Perhaps all they need are a focused spotlight upon them.

My specialties are holistic individual counselling and systemic relationship counselling. In individual work, depth psychology ways of thinking and relating support my offerings. These include dreamwork and felt-sense somatic exploration. In relationship work, my strength-based structured approach facilitates conversations and teaches communication skills for increased understanding and emotional connection for couples. Monogamous and non-monogamous (open, polyamorous) folks are welcome, as are parents, stepfamilies, and folx seeking to heal, grow, and foster well-being.

Healing is possible. With a therapist-witness who believes in your abilities, you will navigate the ‘rough patch’ and grow from it. Counselling conversations will help you both to find a map for your path and to connect with inspiration to keep creating a fulfilling life, a life you feel at home in.
