Kathryn Kriitmaa is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. She offers compassionate, evidence-based, and trauma informed online counselling/therapy based in Kelowna, BC. LGBTQ2S+ Affirming. Registration # 18764.

We all experience overwhelming emotions that we can’t make sense of, struggle with unhealthy outlets for emotional safety, have insecurities in our relationships when our needs don’t get met, and find it safer at times to hide our real selves from others.

Whatever type of therapy you seek, we will collaborate to expand your self-awareness, take intentional action towards your goals, and gently look inward to deeply nurture the parts of you that need healing. My approach is integrative and holistic, attending to your psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. I’ll bring empathy, a lot of compassion, and a bit of humour to our work together.

My practice is informed by current research in neurobiology, mindfulness, creativity, and resilience. I utilize both talk therapy and body-based interventions, depending on your needs and comfort. My work is client-centred, strengths-based, relational, and trauma-informed.

Peace, hope, and healing are possible with a little bit of guidance. I’m grateful that your search has led you here. It would be a great privilege to hear your story and to help you work through life’s inevitable challenges.

*WELCOMING NEW CLIENTS: ADULTS AND TEENS * Therapy provides you with a space to land where you can feel supported and cared for. Seeking help for your personal well-being can feel vulnerable, but it’s also an incredible act of courage and commitment given life is full of unpredictable challenges and messy moments.

I’m here to support you with these moments. So many of us encounter relationship difficulties, overpowering emotions that are hard to make sense of, and mental health related struggles that prevent us from fully participating meaningfully in our lives. I am deeply committed to cultivating an empathetic, nonjudgmental, and safe space for you to explore pathways to greater self-awareness and authentic wellbeing to help nudge you towards a more joy filled life.

My style of counselling is rooted in a blend of evidence and research based therapeutic techniques centered around Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). I believe in the power of collaboration where we work together as a team to explore your thoughts, emotions, and feelings so that we can set achievable objectives to foster positive, long-lasting change.

Like all great partnerships, ours will be based on respect, compassion, and heart-centered connection. If my approach resonates with you, please reach out to book a session or a free online consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
