Lisa Pereversoff,
BCR, MA. Couns. Psych, CCC, RCC
With over 10 years’ experience working in the human services field supporting people of all ages and abilities, my professional experience includes working in child development, disability services, vocational rehabilitation and employment services, mental health and substance use, as well as community outreach programs. My education and experience provide me with a unique understanding of the relationship between individuals and their environment, and how stress can impact one’s physical and mental well-being.
My clinical specialties include anxiety, depression and trauma related to issues stemming from childhood trauma and/or your family of origin. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back.
I am an EMDR basic trained therapist who utilizes various counselling frameworks such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) to support the work we do together in session. My goal is to help people recognize the patterns that have kept them stuck, while creating stronger boundaries and healthier relationships with themselves and others.
To support you in your goals, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies from the University of Calgary and achieved a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I am a member in good standing with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and hold the credential of Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I am also Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

About Lokahi
Lokahi Wellness Collective was established in 2022 to offer support and healing to people within the Okanagan Valley as well as online to people throughout British Columbia and Canada.
Lokahi [loh-kah-hee] is a term with Hawaiian roots representing balance and harmony. Within Hawaiian culture, health is viewed from a holistic lens. One is considered “healthy” when the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of themselves are all in harmony. These aspects are often referred to as the “Lokahi Triangle”. Traditionally, healing for the physical body cannot occur without setting right any problems within the mental or spiritual realm.
At Lokahi Wellness Collective, we will spend time getting to know you and discovering the true origins of your concerns. You will be offered a fresh perspective and new tools to allow your mind and body to work together in achieving health, greater awareness, balance, and well-being. It is my greatest hope that through this process you too can find your own unique balance and harmony in life. I am here to walk alongside you on your journey and I look forward to meeting with you!
