Spirituality Therapists in Kelowna, BC

Are you tired of being stuck? Tired of beating yourself up? Board with the same old strategies that don't work? Are you ready for change? Many people experience times in their lives when they begin to feel overwhelmed and have difficulty coping. Feelings of shame, fear, loneliness, anger and hurt can have us feeling trapped and like we will never be okay. Counselling can often help people to transition to a place of balance, where they are much better able to cope, and not feel as overwhelmed. Not only will they be better able to cope, they can develop strategies that can make their lives more manageable and balanced in the future.

Welcome! Kathryn Kriitmaa here, I'm grateful that your search has led you here. Many of us experience overwhelming emotions that we can’t make sense of, struggle with unhealthy outlets for emotional safety, have insecurities in our relationships when our needs don’t get met, and find it safer at times to hide our real selves from others. Together, we'll collaborate to expand your self-awareness, take intentional action towards your goals, and gently look inward to deeply nurture the parts of you that need healing. My approach is integrative and holistic, attending to your psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

Living with ADHD is exhausting. You walk around everyday trying to escape the hamster wheel that just won't stop spinning. And worst, you have to mask around others just to appear "normal". You are drowning in even the simplest of tasks; living out of a laundry basket of unfolded clothes with day three of unwashed hair and did you even eat today? Life feels like chaos all the time! Did we mention the focus and time? Your probably even reading this after doom scrolling for the past three hours. But don't beat yourself up because of it. I'm Neurodivergent too; and I understand! Life doesn’t have to fit together perfectly like Lego!
