About Kerry-Ann

Their own words
Hi, I’m Kerry-Ann, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist in the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. I am a social worker, therapist, trailblazer, advocate, Star Trek fan, and a flawed human being. Like most, everyday I strive to live life according to my values. My super power is creating A Safe Space To Unmask. In sessions, I try to cultivate an environment where people feel alright being themselves, feeling their feelings, asking others for what they need, being supported as they try to heal from their past, feel empowered as they attempt to address current challenges, and feel hopeful about their ability to navigate whatever the future has in store. I do this and more, all the while modelling self-compassion. I’ve been where you are, I’m no stranger to anxiety, depression, trauma, or the guilt-shame spiral. I’ve been on my own journey of courageous exploration, so I have great respect for you as you navigate your unique journey. I'm passionate about the therapeutic process and supporting change. I specialize in individual counselling because I truly believe society is structured in a way that forces us to share the stage the majority of the time. In my practice you, your needs, and your desires takes centre stage. When I’m not working, I take long walks, I photograph interesting houses and architectural designs I find along the way, I practice French and Music (difficult being tone deaf) on Duolingo, and on any given day, I can be found watching Star Trek reruns, and enjoying a cup of coffee (yes, I like it black). I consider myself a connoisseur of hot beverages, as such I have a tendency to sip coffee and tea rather slowly (some might even say pretentiously). What is it like to be in session with me? First thing to note, you will be HEARD, RESPECTED, AND SUPPORTED. Secondly, I’m not a blank slate therapist - this means I will be in the room (figuratively, because it’s Teletherapy) with you! This means I’ll inquire with curiosity, I will probe for more, I will challenge you to connect mind and body, I will hear what you are saying but also draw your attention to what is being left unsaid. In short, I am not the perfect therapist for everyone, but if you are ready, willing, and committed to growing from your struggles and moving forward to where you want to be in your life, then I might be a good fit for you. For those of whom Positionality is central to the decision-making process: I identify as a black, christian, cisgender woman, who is committed to fostering an inclusive space for everyone to rest, heal, and restore. I work from an anti-oppressive trauma-informed lens. My practice is neuro-divergent affirming, so if you require an accommodation to fully engage in the therapeutic process, please let me know.
