About Kylie
What started out as coffee chats with youth way back when, has turned into a full blown passion and career. I genuinely enjoy sitting with others, providing care, a listening ear and empowering those to go after what they want in life. I’m a registered psychotherapist offering in person psychotherapy to the Township of Mapleton and surrounding areas.
I am passionate about teaching others about emotions, helping you to understand and build awareness to the emotions in your life and most importantly how to live with these emotions so that you can focus on the present. I always attune to the whole person, including your emotional, mental, spiritual and physical responses to stressors in your day to day life. My goal is that you leave therapy with a deeper understanding of yourself and feel empowered to move forward.
I pair my warm, welcoming personality with evidence based psychology to provide you with reputable clinical care in a personable way. I have managed my own private practice for 5+ years providing trauma informed care. I am committed to learning and growing as a therapist. In addition to completing my Masters in Counselling Psychology, I have completed my EMDR training to be able to provide deeper brain reprocessing to those who have PTSD and complex trauma. I have also completed training in providing clinical supervision, which has allowed me to help empower other psychotherapists in their careers.
Whatever you are facing, I will work with you to find hope, healing and wholeness.
My Therapeutic Approach
I believe that all individuals have unique strength within them. My therapeutic approach seeks to encourage that strength by building resiliency and self-confidence. I take a trauma-informed approach to all clients, seeking to respect and understand any experience that clients have lived. I will work with you to build awareness to your emotions and build coping skills unique to your experience to step into the life you want to live.
I am trained in a wide variety of additional evidence based psychotherapies, including EMDR. I combine techniques from these approaches to provide care that contributes to the overall health and wellness of clients. We will work together to equip you with resources to cope, and process presenting problems to empower change.
“Together we will create a safe, convenient and meaningful therapeutic relationship, custom tailored to your unique needs & strengths.”
