You're here because something needs to change. Good. There's your first step. Let's connect to explore the issues. We can work on strategies to help you transform your challenges. I’m an honest, straight forward, compassionate counsellor and coach. I am here to support stuck people to move forward. I'm here to support women who live small lives to take up more space. If your issues are related to relationships, separation, boundaries, self-confidence, career or graduation transitions, burn out or general existential malaise, let’s work it out together. I will challenge you to listen to your gut and feel your feelings.

What is a meaningful life? How do I cope with stress, grief, or trauma? Are healthy relationships possible? How do I stop living in the past? These difficult questions are central to the lives of many people I work with. Challenging life events or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others can have a profound impact on your life. However, you do not need to face these experiences alone. I specialize in working with adults or teenagers who are facing life transitions, change, loss, meaninglessness, relationship issues, low self-esteem, LGBTQ+ concerns, trauma, oppression, and who are feeling lost in their inner life.

Hello! I offer virtual counseling and other supports for adults and youth aged 12+. As a white, neurodivergent, trans, genderqueer pagan with a delayed sleep cycle, I’ve created Night Owl Counseling to be the mutually accessible, anti-oppressive, culturally humble, difference-affirming space I'd always wished for myself. My skillset goes beyond mental health support, because the mind is interconnected with every other part of us. I can also provide life skills coaching, help with accessing other systems, or even develop a long-term plan for your ideal future.

"Change only occurs once the need to change exceeds the pain of staying the same." Working with individuals, couples, and poly groups, together we develop awareness of systemic factors influencing conscious and subconscious behaviours and decision-making patterns. Then we focus on increasing the strengths and resources available to, and within, the client. Building on the basic Buddhist tenets of mindfulness, compassion, and congruence, we can paint a different picture of both personal and relational issues, and more effective, authentic ways of growing towards your goals.

I became a social worker because "your life is worth my time.” This is something I live by as I value each and every client I have had the opportunity to work with. I always feel blessed to join clients on their journey towards healing and wellness, and it takes immense bravery to take that first step and reach out for help. I work hard to create an environment that fosters safety and growth, and approach my practice from a strengths-based, anti-racist, collaborative lens. I have also begun the process of becoming trained in Brainspotting and have completed Phases 1 and 2.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do your thoughts keep racing from one thing to another? Do you find you are excellent at taking care of everyone else but keep neglecting yourself? I would like to help. I am passionate about helping people to move past the "shoulds" and move towards creating the kind of life they want to live. Most of the time when we are distressed we are worrying either too much about the past or the future, or are overly preoccupied by what we imagine other people are thinking about us.

Hi, it's nice to virtually meet you! I am Kristie Brassard (she/her), a registered social worker, psychotherapist and guide. In my virtual office, I offer a space for you to share your concerns, and to work on reaching your goals. Greeting you with authenticity, compassion, non-judgment and from time-to-time a little humour, I can support you as you explore your struggles, strengths, and as you process distressing emotions. I often work with clients who are overwhelmed with emotions, feeling unsatisfied with certain aspects of their lives and with clients who are trying to heal past hurts.

Whether it be you or a loved one, most of us have experienced some form of struggle or loss. In today’s fast-paced world many of us are also juggling the competing demands of work and home life; both have become further complicated by technology and social media. We live in a world where we are more connected, yet lonelier than ever. For those with children, we are inundated with parenting advice, leaving us questioning whether we are doing enough, or doing it right. With all the information overload it can be difficult to know where to get started when it comes to our emotional health.

I welcome clients with extensive "T" trauma, complex PTSD, and ADHD. Clients wanting to explore and validate the presence of ADHD can be quickly assessed. Work includes assessing executive functioning skills. In addition, therapy focuses on self-discovery, alleviating emotional pain or confusion by fostering a more accurate understanding of your past, present and future.

My clients usually come to therapy for relief from their mental health symptoms. They are often feeling overwhelmed, have been thinking about making changes for a long time and are feeling stuck in how to move forward. Together we look at the issues, explore how it is impacting their lives, and come up goals and a treatment plan. This treatment plan includes learning more about your mental health, gaining new skills and strategies that you will carry with you long after therapy ends, and finally practicing a language of self-compassion to replace unhelpful/critical thinking.

As a new parent, you’re realizing that your mental health is in need of an overhaul. Things that you were able to push away, distract, or rationalize keep coming up back up (e.g. the birth trauma, your own childhood experiences, your prickly relationships). These painful reminders stop you from feeling fully present with your child. You’re distracted, triggered, and quickly overwhelmed. You want to begin parenting the right way, and that means finally addressing these emotional blocks. You want to feel more in control and like yourself again.

I feel honoured to work with individuals on their healing journey. I believe that insight and understanding, as well as feeling seen and heard, are key components in healing, and in living a meaningful, fulfilling, and rich life. My approach is intended to help you increase self-insight and understanding, make change in your life that you find meaningful and significant, and heal from current or past experiences that are affecting you. Overall, I aim to create a warm environment while also using evidence based therapies.
