General Information
Whatever season you are in right now, I promise you that you are worthy of having a safe place to express yourself, to process, and to begin to move forward. Whether you are seeking support related to something difficult in your past, are struggling at present or are wanting to focus on improving your quality of life and sense of self (the sky is the limit), psychotherapy can help you along your path. At Open Skies Psychotherapy, I work with clients who are navigating through a variety of life’s challenges. You can learn more about my specialties below. If you are interested in counselling related to things not mentioned here, please reach out and we will find a way forward.
Counselling for Anxiety
Anxiety is one of the most commonly reported concerns related to mental health and wellbeing. In counselling, you can learn to develop coping strategies for managing and decreasing experiences of anxiety and panic attacks. The therapeutic process can help you to understand what is happening in your body, gain insight as to how experiences (past, present and future) are related to your anxiety and to begin to view, work with and release your anxiety in healthy ways.
Spiritual
Psychotherapy
Traditional forms of psychotherapy often focus primarily on an individual’s thought processes, emotional states and behaviours, overlooking an important aspect of the self, specifically, the spiritual. Spiritual Psychotherapy allows for your spiritual beliefs to be recognized and utilized within the therapy session.
Grief and Bereavement counselling
Grieving a loved one who has died is a uniquely difficult experience. Grief can be overwhelming and bring with it a tidal wave of emotions. If you or your child is struggling with grief and would like support, I am here to help.
A personal note from Kristy Kirby R.P.
Something on your path has brought you right here to this moment.
I want to invite you to consider that the reason you are here searching, goes beyond the pain, the struggles and the suffering. I want to invite you to consider that you are here because a part of you knows that you can move forward, knows your strength and your ability to heal. I believe that part of you can be your guide and your inner compass. I encourage you to listen and to trust that part of yourself.
Please know that I am available to assist, to support and to encourage you as you move forward.
Kindly,
Kristy Kirby R.P.
