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 Counsellors
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.
