I'm Kristen Hamilton-Block (she/her), a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Approved Clinical Supervisor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I've dedicated the past 15 years to working with individuals and families in various settings, including hospitals, non-profits, and private practice.
My approach is all about you. As your therapist, I want to create a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore the patterns and beliefs that might be holding you back. I'm here to help you overcome obstacles and tap into your fullest potential.
Together, we can navigate the impact of past wounds and relationships on your sense of self and your connections with others. I believe that by understanding and challenging these beliefs, you can feel more empowered and confident in building and maintaining meaningful relationships—with both yourself and those around you.
If you're ready to explore, process, and make meaningful changes in your life, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
