Assessment and Therapy

Krista gets to know clients by learning about their values and beliefs as well as their goals for the future. She assesses their unique challenges, strengths and assets and collaborates with clients to identify what they want to focus on in therapy. She helps individuals to move towards goals and to learn new strategies to cope with challenges from the past or difficulties that they are currently facing.

Krista uses a variety of therapeutic approaches with a primary focus on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Special care is taken to ensure that the counselling space, whether in-person or by video/phone, feels safe and supportive and that therapy moves at a pace that the client is comfortable with.

Krista is supervised by Registered Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Erin Ross (Certificate of Registration #5422, The College of Psychologists of Ontario).
