Hello. Are you struggling with your thoughts or emotions? Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck? Does life just seem too much? I will provide you with a safe, compassionate, and accepting place to land and feel whole again. After taking the time to understand your situation, I will collaborate with you to create the best counselling approach for your well-being.
I obtained my MA in Counselling Psychology in 2023. Coupled with over 30 years of experience in human services supporting diverse children, youth, adults, and elders to improve their quality of life, I have gained a great deal of insight into the human condition. Furthermore, I have had a vast array of life experiences and my family is multi-racial.
I have opened a practice in Kincardine, ON - Austman Counselling. I am available for online sessions and soon to open an in-person office. Additionally, I offer online sessions with Upstream Counselling out of Waterloo.
Call or Kristin Austman now for a free 15 minute consultation - (226) 270-2172
