My name is Averley Van Orman and I am the owner of White Pine Counselling. I am a Registered Social Worker (#14800) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (#11244134).  

I have a Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Calgary and a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Athabasca. 

  While my formal education and on-going training provides a strong foundation for working with clients of all ages, it is my relationship with my partner and parenting our children that greatly influences me as a counsellor and allows me to better understand the ups and downs that accompany relationships and parenting. 

I believe that, while family and friends are great to have as support, sometimes it's refreshing to speak with a professional who will provide a non-judgmental, listening ear. My goal as a counselling therapist, is to ask the right questions so you can make the decisions that are best for you.

While I use different types of therapies, tailored to fit the needs/wants of each client, I work primarily from an attachment lens. For a  brief overview of how attachment theory affects relationships, take a look at this short video  What Is Your Attachment Style? (youtube.com).

I offer in-person and online appointments.

Please note that I do not offer online couples/family counselling appointments. I only offer in-person couples/family counselling appointments. 

The fee for a 60 min appointment is $170. 

I accept most insurances and direct billing may be available.
