Silverthorne Therapy

I’m Michael Silverthorne, a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering in-person therapy in Kelowna and secure online counselling for individuals and couples across British Columbia.
 

I support clients navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, and major life transitions, as well as relationship challenges, attachment patterns, and couples communication. I also offer affirming support for men’s mental health, ADHD and neurodivergence, and LGBTQ+ identity.


If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, therapy can provide a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful change.
 

My approach is collaborative, warm, and insight-oriented, helping you understand the patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships while building practical tools for lasting change. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT/EFFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), grounded in a family-of-origin perspective.


In-person counselling is available in Kelowna, with online therapy across BC for flexible and accessible support.

​

Individual Therapy (14+)

Individual therapy provides a supportive, confidential space to explore anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or other personal concerns.

I work collaboratively with teens (16+) and adults to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and foster meaningful change. Rooted in respect, curiosity, and a deep belief in each person’s capacity for growth, sessions are tailored to your unique experiences and goals.

Relationship Therapy

Relationship therapy offers a structured, supportive environment where partners can improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate conflict with greater understanding. Michael often works with emotional and sexual intimacy, desire discrepancies, non-monogamy, and diverse relationship structures. Michael helps partners strengthen connection, clarify needs, and foster lasting, meaningful change together.
