Ishtar Beck

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

Welcome! Within our first session, I am committed to co-creating a conversation to bring about a sense of immediate 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 and find strength and 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.

My specialties are holistic individual counselling and systemic relationship counselling. In individual work, depth psychology ways of thinking and relating support my offerings. 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 effective encouragement, 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. However painful it may be, now is the time to start exploring.
