Kristy Riley-Perry, MA, RCC (She/Her/Hers)
Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
All therapy sessions with Kristy are available exclusively as virtual appointments.
Life’s difficulties can have us feeling stuck and unsure of how to find a way out. Maybe you’re not satisfied with your life and relationships, or maybe you’re repeating the same patterns that you can’t seem to shake. You might feel overwhelmed with anxiety or maybe you feel shut down and struggle to feel joy. Trauma and past experiences can impact our ability to regulate, feel the full range of emotions, have healthy relationships, and hold us back from feeling our best.
I work through a holistic and integrative lens, meaning I don’t approach therapy as a one size fits all. Pulling from several evidence-based therapeutic modalities (e.g., EMDR, DBT, CBT), I work with you to collaborate on a personalized approach to healing, helping you change unwanted patterns, have a deeper knowing of self, and work through past trauma’s that may be holding you back.
Fostering a supportive and soft place to land, my goal is to help you get to a place of feeling like you’re thriving, instead of just surviving. Therapy can help you have more enriching relationships, heal past trauma that may be holding you back from your full potential, and help you feel empowered and more in control of your life. Taking the step to engage in therapy is a courageous act and I feel honoured to be able to support you through your healing. We were never meant to do this alone.
