Crescent Valley Counselling - Personalized Counselling in the Kootenays

Lena Sherstobitoff, MC, CCC

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I hold a Master of Counselling degree from the University of Calgary and have specialized training in ADHD management. I come to my counselling work with 15 years of experience as a college educator.

I'm grateful to have been raised in the Slocan Valley, and this beautiful rural Kootenay community is now home to my family and my counselling practice.

Who I Work With & How I Can Help

Areas of Practice

I support clients who are feeling stressed, lonely, overwhelmed, or stuck. These experiences are often connected to anxiety, depression, major life changes, and self-concept concerns such as personal values, identity, and authenticity.

I also provide support for adults managing ADHD, including those with a recent or new ADHD diagnosis, and offer counselling that is inclusive and sensitive to neurodivergent needs.

Note: I do not currently provide counselling for suicidality. Please contact your local mental health service providers or call 1-800-SUICIDE for further support. If you are in immediate crisis, please call 911.

Therapeutic Approach

I offer my clients a non-judgmental space where they can feel heard and understood. I work to weave together your story so that we can collaboratively reach for tools that bring you closer to your wellness goals.

My practice is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy. This is a traditional 'talk therapy' that emphasizes congruence - an alignment of your actions, behaviours, and beliefs.

I also integrate Positive Psychology, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed practices into my work.
