About Kylee

Kylee is currently only accepting virtual clients Hello and Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me! My name is Kylee Smith (she/her), and I am a Registered Counselling Therapist Candidate (RCT-C) with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. My approach is informed by my belief that we are all human, with a story, life experiences and struggles of our own. I understand how hard it can be to have a human mind that constructs various emotions, unhelpful thoughts and confusions that make us feel stuck and overwhelmed. However, if we can foster a greater connection to our identity, experiences, emotions and thoughts, we can nurture an environment that fosters growth, adaption, healing and decision-making. I work with individuals across the lifespan through a client-centred, culturally-sensitive and socially-just lens, that recognizes and appreciates the unique intersectionalities of each client. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, built on the foundations of trust, flexibility, accountability and respect. As your therapist I will strive to create a non-judgmental, welcoming environment in which you feel safe, supported and valued, as my goal is to be a compassionate and empathetic support on your journey of healing and wellness. My therapeutic style is generated through the lens of attachment theory, I believe that supporting clients as they identify their needs, can establish the foundations for trust, affect regulation and interpersonal relationships. I have a great deal of experience working with clients who are experiencing concerns related to depression, anxiety, trauma, self-image, gender identity and sexuality, ADHD, OCD, as well as emotional, sexual and physical abuse. My practice is rooted in a trauma informed, feminist and anti-oppressive lens and integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, narrative, and mindfulness-based practices to support my clients in reaching their goals and promoting their welfare. Outside of work I spend a great deal of time exploring the beautiful nature around us, through activities like hiking, golfing and camping, as well as expressing myself through various modalities of art and fashion. I look forward to working with you, Kylee
