Helping You Find Your Balance
Health and Balance Counselling
Megan Per, MA, PhD Candidate
Psychotherapist,
Associate, Health and Balance Counselling
I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Counselling Psychology at McGill University and earned my Masters in Counselling degree in 2019. I am based in Port Moody, work both in person and online providing one-to-one therapy with adults (18+).
​Therapeutic approach
​
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, authentic, and non-judgmental. I emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship, fostering an environment of trust and collaboration. Utilizing best practices from Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), as well as mindfulness, self-compassion, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, I tailor my treatment plans for each client. Additionally, I have training in hypnosis and psychedelic assisted therapy. My therapy style is practical, guiding clients toward meaningful, lasting changes that enhance their confidence and empowerment.
I offer individual psychotherapy to adults dealing with a diverse array of issues, including (but not limited to):
- Anxiety (such as health anxiety, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and more)
- Difficulties with emotion regulation, self-criticism, and self-esteem
- Depression, self-harm, and obsessions and compulsions (including trichotillomania and excoriation)
- Stressful personal or work-related situations, or clients looking just for a space to speak freely
- Trauma

Training
​
I have completed my doctoral residency at UBC Counselling Services, where I supported university students with a variety of mental health difficulties. Additionally, I have experience in settings focused on moderate to severe mental health issues, including a hospital CBT Unit in Montreal, community mental health facilities, and rehabilitation centers.
​
I am available for both short-term and long-term therapy. I welcome and work with all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and relationship styles. I invite interested clients to contact me through email for both online and in-person sessions. Please note, I am working under the supervision of Dr. Tomas Jurcik and am able to provide receipts for insurance purposes.
