With over 20 years of combined experience in trauma-informed care, we’ve seen firsthand the profound impact that trauma can have on the body, mind, and sense of self — and we know just how life-changing it can be to be met with compassion, safety, and understanding. At Empower Counselling Services, we create a space where your story is honoured, your resilience is recognized, and healing feels possible from the very first step.
Choose the Therapist Who Feels Right for You
Hi, I’m Liona Kehler, MA, CCC. As a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, I believe in the inherent strength you already carry. My role is to help you reconnect with that resilience while providing the evidence-based tools you need to navigate life's transitions with confidence.
People are remarkably resourceful—we adapt, we find ways to keep going, we survive. But that doesn’t mean we have to do it alone. Sometimes, what we need most is a steady presence, a space to breathe, and a reminder that healing is possible.
Therapy is about gaining clarity, reconnecting with yourself, and rediscovering your own capacity for growth and change. You are not broken. You are not too much. You are simply finding your way—and you don’t have to do it alone.
If you’re looking for a space where you can feel truly seen and supported, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

I believe healing happens in spaces where you feel truly seen and heard. My role as a therapist is to create a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment, process the hard things with support, and move toward healing in a way that feels right for you.
Resilience isn’t about never struggling—it’s about finding your way through. You don’t have to do that alone. If you’re looking for a space where you can feel supported and understood, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
