About Keisha
Their own words###Registered Provisional Psychologist
#####I specialize in helping adults manage and heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and a range of other life challenges.
“I did not ask for the things I’ve been through. And I certainly didn’t ask my mind to paint and repaint the pictures back in flashback form.” – Michelle Groth.
Life can be full of contradictions—it’s where we discover passion, meaning, and joy, yet it’s also where we encounter some of our deepest sorrows. I experienced trauma early in my life, and its impact still lingers. Sadly, this is not uncommon. Most of us carry the weight of difficult experiences that shape how we move through the world. Our family bonds, friendships, relationships, and—most importantly—our relationship with ourselves are often challenged along the way.
While facing these feelings alone can sometimes feel like strength, I believe true strength lies in confronting and working through the pain, anger, and hurt that hold us back. That’s where healing begins.
#####Let’s work together to help you reach your goals and create a space that empowers you to reclaim your life.
When we’re physically hurt—whether it’s a cold, a broken bone, or a scraped knee—we instinctively take steps to heal. But too often, we overlook the pain others can’t see. Mental and emotional wounds deserve the same care and attention.
Let’s take the first step together.
Depending on your unique needs, we may use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and more to support your healing journey.
#####I strongly believe that the connection I build with my clients creates a safe space for them to flourish and bring forth the strengths they already hold within.
Beyond therapeutic techniques, the relationship between you and your therapist is essential. When I think of this connection, words like empathy, trust, and compassion come to mind. You are the expert on your own life—and in a safe, open environment, we can work together to uncover and strengthen the qualities you already possess, helping you reclaim your confidence, optimism, and resilience.
