Meet the Newest Additions to the Burns Clinical Life Options’ Clinical Team!

At Burns Clinical Life Options, we’re thrilled to introduce two exceptional individuals who have joined our team, expanding our capacity to provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health and addiction treatment in Victoria, BC. Please join us in welcoming Hannah Heide who is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Dr. Ronald S. Penner who is a Registered Psychologist!

Hannah Heide brings a wealth of experience and a passion for empowering clients towards reflection, understanding, and self-acceptance. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors, Hannah specializes in helping adults navigate addiction, trauma, and attachment wounds.

Her approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. By integrating mindfulness-based, acceptance, and emotion-focused modalities, Hannah guides clients towards inner peace amidst life’s challenges. With specialized certifications in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and traumatic stress, she equips clients with tools to manage life’s ups and downs, fostering emotional resilience and paving the way for a more fulfilling life.

With over forty years of experience, Ronald Penner is a seasoned expert in navigating situational stresses and addressing concerns of mood, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges, including ADHD. Ronald’s approach prioritizes personalized care, tailoring treatment to each individual’s needs rather than insisting on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Utilizing therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Ronald helps clients optimize adaptation and achieve sustainable wellness. His commitment to individualized care and progress evaluation ensures that clients receive the support they need to thrive.
