Practice information:

Are you struggling to get through each day? Trying so hard and going in circles. Surviving has become your motto, until one day you decide you can’t take it anymore.

This scenario is very common. It’s what drives people to counselling. Please rest assured, if it were easy, you would have figured it out by now! But it’s not. It’s complicated. Unless you know the best way out and have the tools to keep you out, this scenario will just keep reoccurring again and again.

But there is a solution- I can be your guide. I’ll help you identify your issues and teach you new skills that will help you learn how to cope with your difficulties and help you find some better ways to heal, improve your life and your relationships.

Hi, my name is Mary Ann Pelzer and I’ve been counselling since 2004. I have a bachelor’s degree from SFU and a Masters in Counselling Psychology from City University. I have a private practice helping men and women overcome all of these issues. In addition, if you’re trying to overcome a major trauma, sickness or injury I can help you. I’m also effective with depression, anxiety, stress management, grief and loss, and self esteem issues that you may be struggling with as well.  

 I also work at Women’s Place in Surrey as a trauma counsellor for women that have suffered trauma or abuse. I assist them in regaining a sense of power and control of their lives. I help them increase their self esteem, learn to set boundaries with others, heal from the past and learn the tools to improve their current and future relationships.

I employ an integrative, client centered approach to counselling. I use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy, and family systems theory. I am also a certified focusing oriented therapist. Why so many theories? Simply because issues are so diverse and solutions vary, every case is different.

I provide sessions for $120.00 This is payable by cash, cheque or e-transfer. I am also covered under some Extended Health Benefit plans. (Please check with your health care provider. )

For a free 15 minute consultation please call 604-219-8079 or see my website.
