I believe everyone already holds the keys to their own healing; my role is to help you find and use those keys. Using a trauma-informed approach, I aim to empower and guide you toward becoming your own source of support and insight. Starting therapy takes courage, and I understand the hesitation some might feel about opening up, especially to a male therapist – it's a step that requires a lot of trust. However, I want to assure you that my practice is a place of warmth and non-judgment. Having faced my own mental health struggles, I connect deeply with those on a similar journey and I provide a calm, grounded presence in session.

The stress surrounding the journey to, transition into and experience of motherhood is often not spoken about and can feel overwhelming and lonely. We are taught to rely on our personal support systems, but what happens when those supports are removed or limited? Negative thoughts can creep in: hopelessness, sadness, and self-doubt cloud your vision. I offer therapy for those who are struggling to cope with a role transition, experiencing grief, low mood, distressing thoughts, infertility, pregnancy, perinatal mood disorders, or feeling isolated and alone.

I'm a registered psychotherapist with a specialization in forensic populations. I started my counselling career in Youth Justice working with at-risk youth, youth on probation, and youth in custody. After a number of years, I transitioned and continue to work at a Children Community Mental Health agency where I'm a clinical manager overseeing a number of children’s mental health programs and a large team of Psychotherapists, social workers, and other allied health professionals. I now work in private practice and am particularly passionate about working with children, youth, and adults dealing with the challenges of parenting.

Events happen in our lives at times and we seem not to be able to get around it or even understand it. Many times, we don’t even seem to know our ways through it. Outside we appear to have everything all together but deep within, we are hurting, frustrated, overwhelmed and even seen unsure about how to move forward. Deep within you know that these events have had negative impact on you and even the way you think. You are wondering where and how to get the needed help and tools to walk you through. You are at a point where you are feeling stuck and seems like there is no way out. I want to let you know that there is treasure in you

If you are an individual adult looking to heal attachment wounds, process trauma, or cultivate strategies to manage anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, or chronic illness, I would love the opportunity to see if we would be a good therapeutic fit. Many people I speak with have been told they may be an ideal candidate for EMDR. Others may have sought traditional talk therapy (CBT or DBT) for their developmental trauma in the past but are now curious about a different evidence-based treatment that combines both a top-down (cognitive) and a bottom-up (somatic) approach.

As we work through our emotional pain and ruminating thoughts, I understand how it can feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming, especially if we become disconnected from ourselves in the process. I believe that people often turn to therapy feeling “stuck,” and while it may feel as though our lives have hit a pause button, the world around us continues to move forward. Whether you are seeking to improve emotional regulation, strengthen interpersonal relationships, navigate unexpected life transitions, or if you simply find yourself without a clear understanding of the underlying issue, my goal is to create a comforting experience.

My name is Kayon Green, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I have a deep desire to empower individuals to be heard. Specifically, individuals who have been silenced. As such, I take a relational and trauma-informed approach to support individuals experiencing relationship issues, attachment injuries, and unhealed trauma. I start by building your knowledge of how past trauma can impact your present. Then, I help you identify and understand how underlying emotions (anger, anxiety, distrust) and attachment styles obscure your relationship with yourself and others.
