I am a registered psychologist working in private practice. I received my PhD from the University of Saskatchewan (2019) and began my career working at a children’s hospital for two years providing services for mental health concerns within a medical setting. Since then, I have been working in private practice providing a range of in-person and remote assessment and intervention services to children, adolescents, parents/caregivers, and adults. I use a collaborative approach that focuses on your individual needs and cultural preferences while ensuring the treatment and techniques are proven effective for your mental health concerns.

I strive to provide individuals with ways to explore, cope, and manage concerns of mental health, feelings of being stuck, and family/relationship issues, as well as to find ways to improve on their overall well-being and health. My aim is to collaborate with individuals and families to find solutions on issues that are causing them pain and suffering by tailoring my approach to specific needs. I work with clients from a goal oriented perspective and encourage exploring the meaning behind behaviours, thought patterns, and feelings so as to provide transferable skills both inside and outside of the counselling realm.

Hello there and welcome!! My name is Alexandria and I am a Registered Social Worker. I would welcome the opportunity to offer you support and guidance through any challenging life experience you are currently facing. My specializations include: Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Psychopathic Disorder. Alexandria feels many individuals and/or counsellors do not truly understand the magnitude of the damage and devastating effect on others that personality disorders create. Through personal experience she has gained a greater understanding and compassion for those impacted.

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.

I specialize in working with people moving through Life's varying transitions - in particular with our "role" changes such as pregnancy, parenthood, peri/menopause and also identity/self worth and esteem struggles.

I'm dedicated to helping us understand the unconscious processes that shape our behaviours. These patterns, often rooted in early childhood, continue to influence our lives today. As experiential beings, we're shaped by our relationships and environments— healing is something we do together, not in isolation. Through psychotherapy, we create a brave, attuned space for relational healing and corrective emotional experiences, fostering our personal growth and creating lasting change.

We all tell ourselves stories about who we are and how we fit into the world. Sometimes, these ways we have of talking to ourselves can become problematic and affect our internal wellbeing, anxiety, relationships, and emotional health. I have a special interest in working with you to explore your internal narratives and identities to help you find ways to create a more positive and cohesive sense of self. I am also uniquely invested in working with teens and young adults. My focus is in the areas of identity formation and trauma recovery including sexual, religious, childhood, and physical traumas.

Living with ADHD is so 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 I 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!
