✨ Meet Kira S. ✨

Kira is a Registered Psychologist who works with adolescents and adults in individual therapy. With over a decade of experience in mental health and early intervention, Kira brings both clinical expertise and real-life perspective to her work. As a mom, she understands how quickly life can fall out of balance and how important compassion, humour, and work–life balance truly are.

Kira may be a great fit for you if you’re looking for support with:
• Anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed
• OCD or intrusive thoughts
• Self-harm or suicidal ideation
• Peer challenges or relationship stress
• Gender identity or sexuality exploration
• Adolescence, young adulthood, or major life transitions

Kira takes a direct, down-to-earth approach and uses humour to help create a warm, comfortable space that feels less formal and more human. She draws from CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and EMDR to support meaningful, lasting change.

Kira is honoured to support adolescents and adults as they navigate their mental health journey 🤍

3 things that are okay to feel after the first month of 2026 🤍

1️⃣ Anxiety with no clear reason.
Even when life looks “fine,” transitions can activate the nervous system. A new year brings change, expectations, and uncertainty. Sometimes your body feels it before your mind can explain it. Anxiety doesn’t need a clear cause to be real or valid.

2️⃣ Pressure to have it all figured out.
New-year messaging can quietly suggest you should feel motivated, clear, and confident by now. In reality, clarity often comes after rest, reflection, and time. Not on January 1st. Not knowing yet doesn’t mean you’re behind; it means you’re human.

3️⃣ Mental and emotional fatigue
The holidays, even when joyful, can be draining. Social demands, routine changes, family dynamics, financial stress, and the emotional weight of “wrapping up” a year all add up. Feeling tired doesn’t mean you did something wrong; it means your system may be asking for gentleness.
You don’t need to rush this season.
Small steps count. Rest counts. Pausing counts.

If this resonates, save this post as a reminder! Or reach out for support if you’d like help navigating this season with more clarity and care.

We’re inviting children ages 8–13 to join our Creative Art Therapy Group, where art becomes a safe and supported way to explore emotions, friendships, confidence, and goals. In a small, guided group, kids build self-awareness and social skills while expressing themselves in ways that feel natural and empowering.

Each week includes meaningful art activities, reflection, mindfulness, and connection, all led by our registered psychologists and designed to help children grow emotionally and socially at home, at school, and with peers.

If your child has big feelings, struggles to put emotions into words, or would benefit from confidence and friendship support, this group could be a wonderful fit.

✨ Spots are limited.

If someone has felt calmer, safer, or more supported because of you… If your presence made a moment, lighter or a burden feel shared… Then your life has already mattered 🤍

Many people expect therapy
to feel calming, relieving, or
reassuring right away. And
sometimes it does.
But other times, therapy feels
awkward, emotional,
confusing, or even tiring.
Especially when you’re
exploring new perspectives,
unlearning old coping
patterns, or sitting with
feelings you’ve been carrying
for a long time.
Discomfort doesn’t
automatically mean something
is wrong. Often, it means
something meaningful is
shifting.
At the same time, therapy
should still feel supportive,
respectful, and collaborative.
You deserve care that moves
at a pace that feels safe for
you.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is
this normal?” You’re not
alone 🤍 Click the link in our
bio to book your
complimentary meet and greet
with one of registered
psychologists today!
