Silverthorne Therapy

My name is Michael Silverthorne, and I offer online therapy through Silverthorne Therapy (Psychotherapy & Counselling) to individuals and couples across British Columbia, including clients in Kelowna and throughout the Okanagan. I support people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes in your life. Through collaborative and thoughtful conversations, I help clients gain insight into the emotional and relational patterns that affect their wellbeing. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, and together we work to better understand what is happening beneath the surface while developing practical coping strategies, healthier relationship patterns, and greater emotional balance.
 

My work as a psychotherapist and counsellor in BC is grounded in a family-of-origin perspective, recognizing how early life experiences can shape the ways we think, feel, and relate to others. I integrate several evidence-based approaches, including Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support individuals and couples in strengthening relationships, regulating emotions, and building practical tools for lasting change. I offer secure online counselling sessions throughout British Columbia, making therapy accessible whether you live in Kelowna, the Okanagan, or anywhere in BC, so you can access professional support from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
