Meet the Counsellor

Candy Salik, MACP, CCC

I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor providing compassionate, counselling for individuals and relationships navigating trauma, emotional distress, shame, life transitions, relational difficulties, addictions, and seasons of uncertainty.

My approach integrates evidence-informed counselling with compassion, and practical understanding. Therapy is shaped around the individual rather than forcing the individual into a single method or framework.

Restored Roots Counselling also grew from a desire to create thoughtful books, videos, reflections, and educational resources that support healing and growth beyond the counselling room.

Why Restored Roots?

Restored Roots Counselling is built on the belief that healing often begins with compassion before it begins with answers.

When people are exhausted, overwhelmed, and ready to give up, the nervous system first needs space to settle and recover. Rest,nourishment, and gentle care can create the stability needed for reflection, growth and meaningful change to continue the journey.

May you find rest
for your soul.

“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28

Find your footing. Find peace.

Find Your Footing. Find Peace.
