Kristen Drozda M.Ed. RCC

Practice information:

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and I am honoured to provide individual and confidential support to teens (13+), young adults, and fellow grownups as you explore and grapple with your inner well-being and relationships in this complex world we inhabit. I have worked therapeutically with children, youth, and families for over 10 years and I have advanced training in polyvagal informed approaches to somatic and mind-body connections as well as mindful self-compassion. I have a special interest in working with gifted and twice exceptional individuals (identified or not yet) and do so with a neurodiversity affirming approach. My clinical roots are humanistic and psychodynamically informed and I believe that safe relationships are key to exploring the whole self. I respect the courage it takes to do this and honour invitations to accompany individuals on their paths. As a respectful ally I strive to be affirming of gender, sexuality, and sexual identity. I also acknowledge my settler status and cultural privilege. I am always learning and hope this can be a shared and collaborative process. Contact me to arrange for a complimentary 20-minute introductory consultation. During this session, I am also open to providing resources and possible referrals. I am happy to see clients in-person and virtually. If you would like an in-person session, I respectfully request confidential honesty about vaccination status and potential signs of illness. We will work together to ensure safety. I am fully vaccinated for Covid-19. Please reach out if you have any questions.
