Meet Karley, 
MACP., Registered Provisional Psychologist

Hello! I’m Karley and I am a wife and a dog mom to my 2 fur babies. You will often find me in the gym, walking and playing with my dogs, spending time with family and friends or curled up on the couch with a cup of coffee and a good book.

​

I have always been drawn to helping others. Growing up, I was the person everyone confided in, which naturally led to my interest in psychology. This interest deepened during my early adulthood as I became increasingly aware of the mental health challenges faced by my loved ones. My passion for advocating for those struggling with mental health issues was particularly ignited when I witnessed a loved one battling addiction without receiving the necessary support.

​

As a therapist, I am dedicated to ensuring that everyone struggling with their mental health receives the help they need. My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, meaning I meet clients where they are and tailor my methods to best suit their individual needs. I primarily draw from Play Therapy (PT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

​

I practice from a trauma-informed perspective, ensuring that my clients feel empowered, respected, safe, and open to collaboration. I believe in giving clients a choice in their therapeutic journey and fostering an environment where they feel comfortable sharing their stories.

​

I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of populations, including children, adolescents, and adults. However, I now primarily focus on working with children. I practice from a multisystemic lens, recognizing that in order to help the youth, it is often essential to involve and support the family. My approach includes a strong emphasis on parenting and family interventions, as I believe that empowering families and enhancing their dynamics can significantly contribute to the well-being of the child.

 

I am particularly skilled in addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioural challenges in young clients. By utilizing an integrative approach, I am able to adapt to the unique needs of each child, providing them with the most effective and compassionate care possible.

​

I recognize and deeply appreciate the courage it takes to open up to a stranger, and I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that is welcoming, supportive, and conducive to healing.
