Jessica Alderliesten is a Registered Social Worker with a master’s degree in clinical social work and a bachelor’s degree in psychology, both from UBC Okanagan. She has extensive experience supporting children and families navigating separation and divorce and brings not only strong professional training but also her own personal experience with co-parenting and the realities of divorce. This lived perspective deepens her understanding and empathy for families working through conflict and change.

Jessica believes wholeheartedly in giving children a voice so their views can be genuinely considered in the decisions that shape their lives- without ever placing the weight of those decisions on them. In her Hear the Child interviews, she creates a warm, child-focused environment and builds a trusting connection with each child or adolescent. Her approach is gentle, developmentally appropriate, and responsive to each child’s unique ways of expressing what matters most to them.

She has extensive training in conflict resolution and child interviewing and assessments through the Family Justice Institute of BC, as well as specialized training in parenting coordination through the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC). She values- and research confirms- that children tend to do better when they’re given the chance to express their thoughts and help shape the parenting plan that guides their everyday life.

Jessica’s process typically includes a brief intake with both parents before the interview, an individual interview of about an hour with each child, the preparation of a clear, non-evaluative report in the child’s own words, and a follow-up session with the child to ensure their views have been captured accurately.

Jessica is dedicated to ensuring that children feel heard, understood, and protected, and to helping families move forward with care, clarity, and a strong focus on the best interests of their children.

Stephanie is a family lawyer and mediator practicing in the Fraser Valley. She is a roster lawyer with the Child & Youth Legal Centre and regularly represents children in court. She practiced for a decade at established full service firms in the Fraser Valley before starting her own boutique practice focusing exclusively on family law.

Working with children has very quickly become one of Stephanie’s favourite parts of her family law practice. The best interest of the child is supposed to be the only consideration when parenting arrangements are being determined but it can be easy for parties to lose sight of that in the midst of conflict. Stephanie strongly believes in the importance of children’s voices being heard in family law proceedings and considers it an immense privilege to be entrusted with bringing children’s voices into dispute resolution processes.

A Hear the Child Report can sometimes provide clarity in a process that can be complex and difficult. In conducting Hear the Child reports, I will take the time to develop a safe and caring rapport with the child or youth before conducting a respectful initial interview, followed by another interview where I will review my report with the child to ensure accuracy.

I have been working with children, youth and families in the public sector for over 30 years in many different roles. As an educator, guidance counsellor and clinical counsellor, I understand the dynamics and complexities of family systems and have been working to provide support and help navigate the education, mental health care and legal system for many families.

Through my graduate studies in Counselling Psychology and continuing profession education, I have specialized training in the following areas:

• Family Law
• Trauma Recovery
• Working with Youth who Experience Grief and Loss
• Conflict Resolution for Individuals and Families

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor with BCACC (BC Association of Clinical Counsellors), and the owner of Clear Light Counselling, I work within a family systems framework and use a range of counselling modalities including trauma recovery, emotion-focused therapy and mindfulness.

Children have a right to be heard; I can help.
