Family Therapy in Huntsville, ON

With over 25 years of experience in psychotherapy, faith-based and transformational healing & growth, counseling, and spiritual care I continue to enjoy the opportunity to help people with telephonic, internet, and video consultations. I facilitate new opportunities for growth and change with an interactive and dynamic outlook. I have extensive experience in many areas of life and the emotional pain that holds us captive to our pasts or the fears of the present, causing us to fail in caring for ourselves and those whom we love. Specific areas of experience include disability, race, gender identity and adjustments.

When searching for a therapist several thoughts may be floating around your head. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depleted adding "find a therapist" to your mental load might just put you over capacity. When you are feeling sad, lonely or isolated, reaching out and asking for help may seem like a daunting task that is insurmountable. As a fellow human, I have been in the position you now sit... wanting and needing help and not knowing where to start. When life feels like it's just a lot, sitting with a therapist may be just what you need to decompress, gain insight and feel connected again.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

My name is Kim and I am a Registered Social Worker at Rooted in Counselling. I work with adults experiencing changes in their mental health, life transitions, grief, substance use concerns, as well as adults who are looking to get in touch with themselves and find new insights and clarity in their lives. I have a compassionate and conversational approach to therapy and use the benefits of CBT and DBT to empower my clients with skills and motivation to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Therapy is a deeply personal journey rooted in connection and the stories we tell about ourselves, our relationships, and our experiences. So, what’s your story? I strive to foster an environment where you can explore the many stories that make you unique. To me, that environment should be a space of inclusion, connection, and safety that is warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic. As a therapist, I see great value in offering gentleness, humour, and humbleness, because I believe these qualities ensure that clients have autonomy and that a therapeutic conversation is empowering.

My goal is to support people struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use, stress, and/or trauma learn healthy ways of coping so ultimately they can live happier, healthier lives. I also have a passion for supporting couples as they navigate conflicts in their relationships. My ideal clients are people who are committed to learning about themselves, are willing to be challenged, and have a strong desire to work towards their goals. I strive to ensure my clients feel an AURA of hope, trust, empathy, and compassion so they feel safe to embrace their journey and grow. I offer flexible appointment times evenings and weekends.

I enjoy working with clients who appreciate that in getting to their best selves and quality of life must look at their whole health. Life is hard and all the more challenging when we aren't taking great care of ourselves physically, emotionally, nutritionally, financially, spiritually or mentally. Learning how to DO things differently matters given that just wanting and talking about change simply isn't enough. Helping clients understand and heal in their relationships past and present is key to building a solid foundation that supports better overall health and quality of life.
