Ali Margulius
Founder and Clinical Director
Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #23540) currently waitlistingI’ve always been curious about what it means to be human—drawn to creativity, emotion, and the many ways people make sense of their lives. After completing my BFA and BEd, I felt a calling to make a deeper impact and share my passion for connection and creativity with others. Moving from teaching to therapy felt like a natural evolution, as I’ve always thrived in meaningful, one-on-one conversations.
Those who know me describe me as warm, genuine, empathetic, and grounded. I hold a deep belief that the therapeutic relationship lies at the heart of meaningful change. My focus is on meeting clients where they are and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where they can feel seen, heard, and understood.
Informed by my diverse personal and professional experiences, I bring compassion and perspective to the challenges people face. I believe seeking counselling is an act of courage—a step toward self-awareness and growth. My aim is to support and walk alongside clients as they navigate their journey toward healing and change.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from The University of British Columbia, following a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and a Bachelor of Education (BEd) in studio art practice and secondary art education.

Janelle Cohos
Associate
Registered Clinical Counsellor, (RCC #13429)Hi, I’m Janelle Cohos, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and a Registered Psychologist in Alberta through the College of Alberta Psychologists (Alberta only). I am also a proud mom of two daughters.
For over a decade, I’ve supported individuals and couples through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, parenting stress/burnout, perinatal mood disorders, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. At the heart of my practice is a simple question: How can I best support you? Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, navigating a life transition, or sensing something needs to shift, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and respect.
I am an EMDR-trained therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that helps to reprocess traumatic memories and distressing experiences. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and self-compassion practices. My approach is integrative and collaborative—we tailor therapy to what feels most supportive and effective for you.
I am especially passionate about perinatal mental health. I have completed specialized training in maternal mental health to support moms and parents-to-be through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
I hold a Master of Arts (MA) Degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University, and a Bachelor of rts (BA) Degree in Psychology from University of Victoria. I currently work with individuals (adults 19+) and couples in my practice.
