Presence. Validation. Compassion.
Biography
I currently hold a Master Of Arts in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. I am also trained in Level 1 & 2 EMDR, as well as advanced training in EMDR for prebirth and birth trauma.
I have over fifteen years of experience working with families and individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, addiction, trauma and PTSD, parenting challenges, divorce, blended families, postpartum challenges and grief and loss. I am also passionate about supporting individuals who are experiencing vicarious trauma, burnout and compassion fatigue.
As a queer therapist I also work within the LGBTQ2SIA+ community, specifically working with couples, caregivers, non-binary/trans/genderqueer children and youth.
I am currently doing both in person sessions and phone sessions. I can be reached at 250-608-0158 or kristinfbrattebo@gmail.com to book sessions.
