Optimal Resilience
Give yourself permission to heal
Welcome
Services provided by Optimal Resilience are built on a belief that all people face a variety of challenges in life (the human being stuff) AND they possess strengths and abilities to address them.
Counselling does not have to take a long time to create lasting change and clear a path to a better future. Together we can tackle whatever ‘human being stuff’ you are facing. Let’s talk about how to do this!

About

Daphne Hellman
MSW RSW
I have over 30 years of experience in the human service and mental health fields. During my career I have encountered people who have faced a wide range of difficulties from small bumps in the road to life altering adversities or the cumulative impact of these events. Through this, I have been impressed with the strength that people possess, or find, to get through hard times. This ability is called resilience and the good news is we all have some, even if right now you might be unsure.
My goal at Optimal Resilience is to address challenges you identify and support you in building or regaining your resilience. While counselling can deal with some tough stuff, in my experience a blend of understanding, practical insight, and a bit of humour is effective in moving through the difficulties. I look forward to working with to you when you are ready.
Counselling Services
Counselling, like life, isn’t ‘one size fits all.’ I draw on a variety of approaches to best meet your needs. Together, we will talk about your objectives for counselling and work collaboratively to achieve them.
Below are a few evidence based therapies utilized.
“Your body cannot heal without play. Your mind cannot heal without laughter. Your soul cannot heal without joy.”
