Hello! I'm Kathlyn and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist based in Calgary, Alberta. I value the flexibility virtual counselling offers and I am pleased to offer this to adults located in Nunavut. I offer in-person and virtual sessions in Alberta. Whether it is anxiety, relationship, or uncertainties about what to do with all your thoughts and feelings that are keeping you from living life to the fullest – I am here to help you. Therapy is a place to heal and grow and I will meet and support you where you are at and not where I want you to be. You deserve to be heard and seen!
I have extensive experience in autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, behavioural management, emotional regulation, parent coaching, anxiety, depression, attachment issues, addictions, trauma, grief, family and relationship conflicts, cultural identity and intersectionality, inner child work, and life transitions.
I work with children, youths, and adults. I strive to create a safe space for people of all backgrounds to share their experiences, identify their strengths, be aware of manifestations of symptoms, practice vulnerability, and find hope amidst life’s struggles. I am a neurodiversity-affirmative, 2LGBTQ+-affirmative, and culturally sensitive therapist.
