Mikaela Reay, C.C.C.
Clinical Counsellor
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Health Sciences in Addictions Counselling from the University of Lethbridge, where I also competed as a varsity athlete on the Women’s Hockey Team.
My experience includes working as a caseworker with Big Brothers Big Sisters and coaching at the Okanagan Hockey Academy for the past three years. I am passionate about supporting individuals, children, youth, and families in Penticton and the surrounding communities, with a particular interest in supporting current and retired athletes navigating performance pressures and life transitions.
Outside of counselling, I enjoy coaching at the rink, spending time with my dog, and reading.
My approach is client-centred and collaborative, grounded in building a strong therapeutic relationship. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed approaches and tailoring each session to your needs. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space to build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and support meaningful change.
