GROWTH COUNSELLING SERVICES - Key Persons
Rick Defoe is a Registered Psychotherapist, a Certified Neuroptimal® Wellness Provider/Trainer, and is the sole owner and operator of Growth Counselling Services.
With over 20 years of clinical experience working with individuals, children, youth, and families in various capacities, Rick has developed a genuine passion in helping people discover their current and pre-existing strengths and abilities to overcome personal struggle and the inevitable pain that coincides with being human.
Tanya Wright is a clinical social worker who has developed a passion for joining with people who have chosen (sometimes with great trepidation) to travel into difficult, sometimes unfamiliar, places.
This is a privileged experience every time - when the travelling feels wearisome and uncomfortable, when the destination changes and anxiety rises, when an unexpected break on the horizon opens up and life begins stirring in parts unknown or forgotten - I am motivated to keep up with you, to witness, to guide, to compassionately experience with you this stretch of the journey.
