Patricia Felzien MACP, C.C.C., R.C.C.

As a registered clinical counsellor, I specialize in working with children, youth, and their caregivers, focusing on trauma through somatic and experiential therapies, including Neuro-Science Satir Sand Tray Therapy (NSST) and more. I have facilitated numerous educational and therapeutic groups over the past 15 years. I discovered Sand Tray Therapy in 2017, became certified in NSST in 2022, and also have a Level 1 NSST Trainer certification. Additionally, I actively participate in NSST “fishbowl discussions” and international trainings. For more information visit thrivewellbc.com/meet-the-team

As a family systems therapist, I specialize in developmental relational trauma, including anxiety and complex chronic shame. In my private practice, I work with families, children, and individual adults. I’ve been using Sand Tray Therapy since 2017 with clients for trauma intervention, play therapy, families, and so much more. I am excited to share this powerful tool! I bring to this training both Jungian and NSST approaches. Additionally, I am certified in adult education, which I deeply love, with 20+ year of experience. For more information visit bethscholes.com
