About Kylee
Hello and Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me! My name is Kylee Smith (she/her),
and I am a Registered Counselling Therapist Candidate (RCT-C) with the Nova Scotia College of
Counselling Therapists and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling
and Psychotherapy Association.
My approach is informed by my belief that we are all human, with a story, life experiences
and struggles of our own. I understand how hard it can be to have a human mind that
constructs various emotions, unhelpful thoughts and confusions that make us feel stuck and
overwhelmed. However, if we can foster a greater connection to our identity, experiences,
emotions and thoughts, we can nurture an environment that fosters growth, adaption, healing
and decision-making.
I work with individuals across the lifespan through a client-centred, culturally-sensitive and
socially-just lens, that recognizes and appreciates the unique intersectionalities of each client. I
believe that therapy is a collaborative process, built on the foundations of trust, flexibility,
accountability and respect. As your therapist I will strive to create a non-judgmental, welcoming
environment in which you feel safe, supported and valued, as my goal is to be a compassionate
and empathetic support on your journey of healing and wellness.
My therapeutic style is generated through the lens of attachment theory, I believe that
supporting clients as they identify their needs, can establish the foundations for trust, affect
regulation and interpersonal relationships. I have a great deal of experience working with
clients who are experiencing concerns related to depression, anxiety, trauma, self-image,
gender identity and sexuality, ADHD, OCD, as well as emotional, sexual and physical abuse. My
practice is rooted in a trauma informed, feminist and anti-oppressive lens and integrates
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused
Therapy, narrative, and mindfulness-based practices to support my clients in reaching their
goals and promoting their welfare.
Outside of work I spend a great deal of time exploring the beautiful nature around us, through
activities like hiking, golfing and camping, as well as expressing myself through various
modalities of art and fashion.
I look forward to working with you,
Kylee
