Kristen McFadden

Everyone should be able to feel that they have worth and are enough as they are in any given moment. My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space to be able to work towards this knowledge, while exploring the strengths you may have forgotten or don't even currently know that you have. I believe in the importance of meeting people where they are at, and walking alongside them in their journey. ​

 

I am a Registered Social Worker with over 5 years of clinical experience working with children, youth and adults. I have worked closely with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, and who have experienced trauma. It is important to me to offer a variety of tools so that the individuals I work with can choose what fits best for them, and to be working toward the goals that you feel will help you move toward a full experience of a life that feels best for you. ​

 

I am a strong advocate for equity and work to ensure this is woven into my anti-oppressive practice, practicing from a trauma informed and attachment-based lens. I utilize a variety of modalities that I have received formal training in, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I hold a Master of Social Work degree and am I member in good standing of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) as well as the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW).
