Kerry Schroeder RCC

Summary

Connection, creativity, and curiosity fuel my work as a counsellor. With an educational background in Behavioural Science and Counselling Psychology, and with a passion for artful and playful living, I offer a unique therapeutic approach that honours both neuroscience and your intuitive process. I hold safe space for individuals of all ages, abilities, genders, sexual orientations, neurotypes, religions, relational statuses and structures, socio-economic statuses, and ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

Because I do not believe you are broken, I will not try and fix you. Instead, my approach is strengths-based and trauma-informed, which means that I’ll highlight your gifts and respect your feelings of emotional safety. Together, we can explore new rhythms of thinking and being, gently moving towards self-compassion and self-expression, at your pace.

Specialties: neurodiversity, autism, religious trauma, non-monogamy, LGBTQ2SIA+

Note: there are no gender neutral washrooms but online services are available.
