Our Approach

Welcome to Carrie DeJong & Associates, a group of Registered Clinical Counsellors in British Columbia. We believe everyone benefits from understanding how their nervous system is wired. It helps us makes sense of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This knowledge provides insight into why we experience struggles with mental health, emotional regulation, and addictive patterns.

We focus on understanding the nervous system and how it relates to chronic anxiety, trauma, substance use, and addiction disorders. Our website offers many valuable resources, especially about the connection between trauma and addiction disorders.

We’re passionate about using this knowledge to help people move towards increased health and wholeness.
