About Counselling
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
Our Mental Health Team
Kimberley Blackbeard MSW RSW
Evening Hours available
Kim works with children, teens, families, caregivers and adults who experience a wide range of mental health issues. Kim has experience working with children and youth with anxiety, depression and emotional regulation as well as with parents and caregivers to provide strategies to support those in their care. Parenting can be a difficult job at times and can lead to individuals developing their own mental health concerns. I also provide individual therapy for those wanting to focus on their needs outside of their parenting role.
Holly Casey - M.Ed. (Counselling), CCC, LCT-C
Daytime Hours available
Holly offers one-on-one counselling to adults and teenagers, specialising in substance use concerns, mental health challenges and trauma-related crises. She believes that the most important element in effective counselling is a healthy and trusting relationship between the client and the counsellor. You are the expert when it comes to your life and your feelings; not her. Holly aims to assist you as you work through life's challenges, and she can only do that if you feel safe enough to share your thoughts and feelings with her. She will earn and maintain your trust by providing an atmosphere of safety and non-judgement. Once that rapport is established, then the real work of healing and recovery can begin. Holly's counselling approach is client-centred and holistic, based on the understanding that your life has many layers and that solutions must be tailor made for you and initiated by you. She will work with you to identify the sources of your concerns, come up with personalised strategies for navigating your way through healing, and make plans for you to continue to foster a strong sense of well-being and growth.
