Find a Therapist in Canada

Having worked with children, adolescents, individuals with intellectual developmental issues and adults struggling with various emotions, self-esteem and communication issues, I’d like to support you on your journey.  

At Keystone Child & Family Therapy, I specialize in supporting children and families navigating the complexities of trauma, emotional dysregulation, and behavioral challenges. As a registered psychologist and certified play therapist with a Master's in Marital and Family Therapy, I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach that integrates attachment theory and neuroscience. Through secure online sessions utilizing Zoom and an interactive virtual playroom called Play Space, I provide accessible therapy tailored to each child's unique needs. This is especially beneficial for families in remote areas of Alberta, where in-person services may be limited. Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, intense emotions, or behavioral difficulties, I am here to support your family in fostering resilience, connection, and healing.​  

You’re smart, driven, and holding it together on the outside... yet your body keeps whispering that something isn’t right. Maybe it’s stress, maybe it’s “just how you are,” or maybe it’s old experiences you’ve spent years outrunning. You live in your head, can push through everything, but still feel stuck and disconnected from yourself in ways you can’t quite explain. My practice specializes in high-functioning women carrying the often-unseen impact of sexual trauma—especially how it shows up in stress, boundaries, relationships, and the pressure to overperform. Using mind–body–emotion integration and grounded, honest conversations, I help you shift out of survival mode and into a way of living that’s sustainable, steady, and actually feels like you.  

*Accepting New Clients* Throughout my journey, I have always been curious about people and how they relate to one another. My approach as a therapist is centered in transparency, authenticity, and directiveness. My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for clients to help gain fresh insights and to achieve growth and change in their lives. I work with individuals, couples, and youth aged 16+ and offer a free consultation to ensure I am the right fit for your journey.  

You may be here because something in your life or relationships no longer feels workable. Perhaps you are caught in the same conflict with your partner, feeling disconnected from sex or intimacy, questioning parts of your identity, or carrying more pressure than you can comfortably hold. You might still be functioning well on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or far from yourself. I work with individuals and couples navigating relationships, intimacy, queer and gender identity, neurodivergence, burnout, grief, chronic illness, trauma, and life transitions. I am queer and neurodivergent, and my practice is queer-affirming, sex-positive, kink-affirming, and welcoming of diverse relationship structures. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I draw from relational, narrative, psychodynamic, attachment-based, Gottman-informed, and somatic approaches. We will look at how patterns developed, what continues to reinforce them, and what they may be costing you now. Therapy can offer a place to understand yourself more clearly, communicate more honestly, and build relationships that feel more connected and sustainable.  

At Transversality Counselling, we believe therapy is not about fixing what’s broken but about making room for what’s human. We work from a trauma-informed, relational, feminist, and decolonial lens — always holding in mind that healing doesn’t happen in a straight line. It moves across languages, histories, relationships, and identities. We offer individual, couples, and group counselling, as well as clinical supervision. Our work is guided by compassion, cultural awareness, and respect for each person’s pace. Whether you are navigating trauma, grief, identity, or change, we meet you where you are — in English or Spanish — with care and curiosity.  

My clients are often in their 20s–40s who feel stuck in people-pleasing, perfectionism, or unhealthy relationship patterns. They may overextend themselves at work, with family, or in relationships, leaving little space for their own needs. Many also navigate ADHD, feeling overwhelmed or scattered, and want support reconnecting with themselves and creating balance. In our work together, I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can show up as you are without having to perform or please. We'll move at your pace, gently exploring the patterns that have shaped your relationships — including people-pleasing, boundary challenges, and attachment wounds. I integrate a variety of approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to support you in building self-trust, emotional balance, and relationships that feel more honest. Whenever you're ready, I'd love to hear what's bringing you in. "With self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness and care we'd give to a friend." — Kristin Neff  

I believe in you: your strengths, your intricate beauty, and your transformative potential. What I bring to the table are a fresh perspective, warmth, humour, and empirically-supported tools. My talk-based, collaborative approach integrates techniques from a number of modalities (commonly: mindfulness, cognitive behaviour therapy, narrative therapy, positive psych theory, neuroscience, bibliotherapy, psychoeducation, etc.) in the interest of effectively serving your unique goals and needs. I look forward to walking with you.  

Do you feel emotionally exhausted from always putting everyone else first? Perhaps you've been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, struggle to set healthy boundaries, or feel trapped in cycles of perfectionism and people pleasing. You may look like you're coping on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or never quite "good enough" on the inside. You don't have to continue carrying everything alone. I specialize in helping adults recover from narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and low self-worth. Together we'll work to understand the patterns that have kept you stuck, heal the wounds beneath them, and build healthier relationships with others and with yourself. Many of my clients are caring, capable, high-functioning people who have spent years taking care of everyone else. They struggle with guilt when saying no, overthink conversations, question themselves after being gaslighted, or feel emotionally drained from unhealthy relationships. Therapy can help you reconnect with your confidence, trust your instincts, and create lasting change. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I integrate evidence-based therapies while tailoring each session to your unique experiences and goals. My focus is creating a safe, supportive space where you feel understood, not judged. I can help with: Narcissistic abuse recovery Emotional abuse and toxic relationships Gaslighting and relationship trauma Burnout and chronic stress People-pleasing Perfectionism Self-esteem and confidence Boundaries Anxiety Women's issues Life transitions Relationship concerns I provide secure virtual counselling for adults throughout Alberta, making therapy accessible wherever you live. For those looking to make significant progress in a shorter period, I also offer extended Therapy Intensives. These longer sessions allow us to work deeply on long standing patterns and accelerate healing in a focused, supportive environment. Reaching out for therapy takes courage. Whether you're beginning your healing journey or have tried therapy before, I'd be honoured to support you. Together, we can help you move beyond survival and create a life that feels calmer, more confident, and more authentic.

From my early days supporting Haitian refugees abroad, to my experience working with neurodiverse young adults and seniors, I have helped people from many walks of life navigate complex emotions, trauma, and identity. While I specialize in sexual trauma and LGBTQ+ care, I believe healing is unique to each person—and I’m here to support you, no matter your background, experience, or life stage. Whether you’re exploring deep emotional patterns, working through trauma, or seeking more connection in your relationships, I’m committed to adapting my approach to meet your needs and helping you move forward at your own pace.

In addition to exploring thoughts and emotions like traditional talk therapy, somatic therapy pays attention to sensations in the body like tension, pressure, bracing, agitation, or feeling spacey or numb (fight, flight, freeze). The goal is to work with the body’s self-protective responses to support healthy nervous system function and to build capacity to be more present and engaged in life.

Tacit Knowledge can help - we offer individual and couples counselling to teens and to adults. All of our services are available in-person and online - and are available to everyone, all across Canada. I am Kim Silverthorn BA, RPC, MPCC, CT - I am the owner and primary therapist at Tacit, and my office is located in Beaumont.

Something in you knows that what you're carrying runs deeper than the presenting problem. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly composed-yet internally they live with anxiety, depression, chronic tension or pain, relentless self-criticism, or a sense that something essential is blocked, muted, or just out of reach. These struggles may surface in mood, in the body, in behavior, or in relationships-including sexuality and intimacy-but they are rarely contained to any one area. They tend to reflect deeper emotional and relational patterns formed early in life, often before language, that continue to shape how a person approaches closeness, vulnerability, agency, pleasure, and self-expression. My work centers on how early experience shapes the capacity for self-regulation, desire, connection, and meaning throughout life-and particularly on how people come to know what they need and want, how they learn to express or inhibit those impulses, and what happens when these capacities become conflicted, constricted, or difficult to sustain. I integrate psychoanalytic hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and clinical sexology within a reflective, depth-oriented process. Hypnosis functions as a central clinical tool-creating conditions for deeper internal contact with emotional, bodily, and unconscious experience that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone. The aim is not only relief from symptoms, but the development of a more coherent and compassionate relationship with one's inner life: sensations, emotions, impulses, and desires. This work is oriented toward lasting psychological change-and toward greater freedom in how one relates to oneself, one's body, and one's capacity for connection, authenticity, and vitality. It is best suited to those ready to move beyond symptom management toward something more fundamental.  

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or unsure of who you are anymore? Maybe you're navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or relationship challenges. You might feel lost in transition—grappling with a recent change, a difficult past, or trying to break free from behaviours that leave you feeling disconnected. These emotions can be heavy and confusing, and it’s okay if you’re not sure where to start. I’m here to help you make sense of what you're feeling and why. Therapy with me offers a compassionate, person-centred space where your story is honoured and explored with curiosity, not judgment. With training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based, CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, increase self-understanding, and work toward the emotional clarity and change you're seeking. You don’t have to carry these feelings alone. Whether you're navigating life transitions, feeling anxious or emotionally stuck, or looking to strengthen your sense of self and relationships, we can explore this together. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.
