Her approach

Kelsey’s approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in authenticity and respect.

Kelsey Chiasson understands that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. As a Canadian Certified Counsellor (Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association) with Comprehensive Basic Training in EMDR Therapy, her goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your challenges at your own pace.

Kelsey brings both personal experience and academic training to her work. She offers a warm and welcoming environment for clients to navigate the complexities of daily life as well as the deeper impacts of trauma.

Before becoming a therapist, Kelsey worked as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). In that role, she developed a deep appreciation for the connection between body and mind—and the importance of addressing the root causes of distress, not just the symptoms.

She tailors each session to meet the unique needs of every client and believes that each person is the expert of their own life, with strengths waiting to be uncovered.
