Kassey Shier, Clinician

I love working with individuals who are navigating a major life transition—whether it’s a breakup, career change, divorce, or the realization that the path they’ve been on no longer fits. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by past experiences and are looking for support in moving forward. As a trauma-focused therapist trained in EMDR, I help individuals process and heal from the past while building the confidence and tools to create meaningful change. If you’re ready to rewrite your story and step into a more empowered version of yourself, I’d love to support you on your journey.

Theoretically, I like to draw from different styles such as EMDR, person-centered, strength-based, humanistic, CBT, solution-based, and rational-emotive behavioural therapy. My goal is to adapt my approach to the needs of my clients.

I believe in the power of human connection, resilience, and growth. Navigating my own journey through therapy and wellness, I discovered the significant impact of holding an empathic understanding space for someone, which continues to fuel me in my drive to help others. In my work I am passionate in empowering others to be the best versions of themselves by providing a gentle guidance as they develop tools, understanding and shift the narratives they have been living to better suite who they truly are. 

I specialize in offering a compassionate ear for individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, or trauma. My work is centered around empowering each one of my clients on their journey through self-discovery and learning to accept thing within their life that may feel out of control. 

Along side providing general therapy, I do work with couples and families who are looking for a little extra support in feeling heard within their relationships. I also offer support to teens (14+) to help understand emotions, feelings, and the sense of growing up.
