Inner Balance Solutions Team

MEET TERRESA MCKENZIE, RCSW

I’m Terresa McKenzie, a Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW) and counsellor, and the owner of Inner Balance Solutions.

With over a decade of experience and education in my field, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life in various ways. I work with people of all ages, and I’m happy to work with individuals, couples, and families.

As an RCSW, I’m comfortable and qualified to diagnose many mental health conditions and often do this in collaboration with a client’s existing health team. I have experience diagnosing adult ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD, amongst others. And if I can’t give you a diagnosis, I’ll support you in pursuing that diagnosis through the appropriate channels. I also help clients with any social needs and requirements they have, as well as work with people going through domestic violence, PTSD or other traumatic experiences.

My qualifications include a Masters of Social Work, and I’m a BC licensed Clinical Social Worker. I also have treatment-specific qualifications for EMDR and EFIT.

I’m a member of:
Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance (CADDRA)
British Columbia College of Social Workers (BCCSW)
British Columbia Association of Social Workers (BCASW)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Association (EMDRIA)
and the Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW)

Outside of my professional work, I’m also heavily involved in the community and support local charities such as the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, the Chilliwack Charitable Firefighter’s Association, and BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

MANDY WIPP

Meet our Admin, the very lovely Mandy.

Mandy may well be your first connection when you initially reach out to us, as she closely monitors our inboxes while we’re working. She’ll be the one who arranges any appointments and bookings with you.

Mandy has always had an interest in working with those needing mental health support and hopes to become a social worker. Working with us has given her an introduction to the field and offered her some experience of what it’s like.

Mandy loves spending time outdoors in our beautiful province, hiking, paddleboarding and kayaking. A perfect day for her includes lots of sunshine, water, laughter, and spending time with her children, friends, and family.

ASHTON GOLDTHORP, BSW, RSW

Ashton is a registered social worker who is committed to supporting others in her community.

Practicing from a trauma-informed lens, Ashton is dedicated to providing a safe space for others to share their stories, move through crises, and build on their inner foundations. She has extensive experience in working with seniors, people with disabilities, substance use, and youth services. Her practices all focus on being strengths and evidence-based with a client-centred approach, encouraging the client to be in charge of their own decision-making with guidance and support.

As well as providing counselling services, Ashton can assist with documentation, applications, and advocacy to support clients who are navigating systemic barriers and support them to access services within their communities.

A perfect day for Ashton always starts with espresso and oat milk.

She looks forward to meeting you at your first session.
