Well Hello There

Thank you for stopping in to my website

For whatever reason you've decided to stop by, I think the best place to start is with an introduction from me.  I'm Talia Camozzi and I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor with my main office situated in Revelstoke, BC.  I exclusively see clients online or on the phone throughout Canada, and have fallen in love with the transformative power of online or phone call therapy sessions. My waitlist is typically between three and six months long.

I also write (both fiction and non-fiction), and give seminars, public talks, and education around topics related to the integration of wounds and wisdom in the psyches, souls, and physical systems of people.  Some specific topics I have presented on include Workplace Wellness, Trauma-Informed Education, Slowing Down, and the Impact of Adverse Childhood Events.

Growing up, I was privileged to be surrounded by lots of nature: mountains, rivers, lakes, wildflowers, and animals. Early on, I realized that health and healing is not something we do on our own as individuals, but with the support of others and the environment. Throughout my life, including as a young person, my life was touched with profound illness and profound healing. Through many childhood stays at hospitals and the Ronald McDonald House I was exposed to the unfair hardships that people have to endure.  I learned that healing looks different for everyone, and total recovery is not always the goal. Sometimes it’s learning to live with and integrate what cannot be changed.

One of the treasures of so many of my early childhood experiences being in the hospital was a seed of deep acceptance for the hardships of others, and being able to see the essence of a person through their pain. 

My love of people expanded over the years, and in 2010 I made the choice of becoming a counsellor.  A little over 2  years later, I completed a Master's of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.  I began my career by doing a contract for the Ministry of Child and Family Development in Child and Youth Mental Health and a Sexual Abuse Intervention Program before transitioning into private practice and working for a school district.

The young people I see at the school and in my private practice are constantly reminding me about the uniquely special childhood and teenage years.  I do not dismiss what young people are going through as a phase or as angst, but as important crossroads in their lives that they deserve gentle, kind, compassionate counselling to get through.

I also see people of all ages, and I believe that variety is the spice of life so I have had the pleasure of counselling parents with young children, people who are in their retirement years, and people of all ages in between.  

I have a special interest in working with people who are highly sensitive, highly ambitious and have experienced trauma. These people exist in all demographics and are sometimes people looking to deepen their relationships and self love, women in business looking to create a better work/life balance, teenagers with bold dreams for their future, or people who have experienced a major loss (death, relationship, job, home).

My sister has told me that I take a radically gentle approach to therapy, and I have to agree with her. My therapeutic style is gentle, accepting, and holistic in nature. I take great care to honor all aspects of you: psyche, soul, and physical system. My training in the last several years has focused on somatic attachment psychotherapy. In a nutshell, somatic practice means bringing the body’s knowledge and wisdom into our therapy sessions. What the body is communicating is just as important as what the mind is communicating, and together we can start listening in to what your body is saying. The style of somatic work I practice is entirely hands-off.

From experience I know that deep, lasting, and transformational healing is both of our goals in therapy. It is my intention to create a space for you that is safe, warm, welcoming, and sacred. A space where you can explore all aspects of your life, address the big things that are weighing you down, and ultimately move forward with more awareness, acceptance, and care for yourself.
