Kristin Matthews, Owner
R.Psych, M.C.
As a Registered Psychologist and the proud owner of KM Counselling, I am passionate about helping adults and teens 14+ who are ready to experience meaningful change.
Background
I started KM Counselling because of my love of working with clients who are ready to experience meaningful change.
I have built my practice coming from years of experience in a variety of settings including private practice, community counselling, and health prevention management. I have also designed and delivered counselling and health programs for workplaces across Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
My approach to counselling involves working with my client’s many strengths while using evidence-based practices. I believe that counselling should feel authentic, safe, and collaborative.
When I am not counselling, I value outdoor adventures with my family including biking, paddleboarding, camping, skiing, and travel.
