Our Services
Our therapists offer in-person, phone, and video sessions. We work with teens, adults, and couples, and welcome all those willing to seek growth and support.
Initial sessions with your therapist will involve an overall assessment and identification of your therapeutic goals. The therapist will put together a treatment plan to meet those goals and collaboratively work with you throughout the therapeutic process. Individuals may anticipate activities or homework outside of therapy to enhance the work you are doing with your therapist.
To make the most of your time in therapy, we encourage that you bring a notepad and pen for any reflections and notes you may have during a therapy session.
Sessions take place regularly, weekly or biweekly, and typically after someone experiences therapeutic progress you will begin to spread out sessions and have check in or maintenance sessions with your therapist. The frequency of sessions is an individual choice and something that can be discussed with your therapist.
Consultations
Finding the right therapist can be a challenging endeavor. At Nourished Mind, we believe that fit is critical to the success of the therapeutic experience. We offer free 20 minute consultations so that you can meet with one of our therapists to discuss your goals of therapy and ask your therapists any questions that you may have about working with one another. Consultations provide the opportunity to get to know your therapist, their therapeutic approach and style.

Therapy work typically involves addressing and identifying emotional triggers, processing emotional experiences, understanding and recognizing unhelpful thinking styles and belief systems that may not be serving you; utilizing positive reframes and identifying positive perspective shifts.
You may work toward improving boundaries in your close relationships, promoting self-care, improving challenges related to motivation, learn how to become more assertive, and work toward fostering gratitude, positivity, and self-worth.
Through an exploration of learned behavioural patterns and emotional responses from your childhood, we will identify patterns that you have learned at an early age to understand the impact it may have on your present circumstances.
As an example, some clients may come to understand that they felt little emotional support as a child, and may have coped by internalizing their emotions, believing that their emotions are less importnat, and are challenged to express those emotions. As adults, they may have a tendency to withdraw or avoid when experiencing emotionally overwhelming situations. These are just some of many common patterns that we will identify and work to improve.
Couples Therapy
Our therapists works with both couples, and parents & teens.
Our approach with couples and families is grounded in emotionally focused therapy techniques, in addition to using integrative therapeutic modalities.
We support couples and families to improve their cycle of conflict, recognize emotional triggers, implement healthy and effective communication strategies, set boundaries, and establish healthy conflict styles and patterns of communication with one another.
We identify love languages, and patterns brought forward from individual family experiences growing up, including how a family goes about showing and expressing love and support through an assessment of attachment styles.
Our therapists recognize that many individuals come to couples therapy primarily looking for their experiences to be validated and to feel better understood and heard by their partner. The foundation of our work with couples is geared toward identifying and improving communication breakdowns and conflict in order for both individuals to feel as if their needs and emotions are being understood and met by their partner.
Additionally, our therapists support families and individuals with parenting issues and conflicting parenting styles. We work primarily with parents and teens in a dyadic format, and support the family to move toward resolution, healthy boundary setting, and increased positivity and interactions within the family unit.
Supervision
Kimberlee offers supervision services to both student therapists and therapists looking to receive mentorship opportunities to better support their practice. Supervision provides opportunity for a therapist to discuss how to work with certain clients and certain presenting issues. We discuss how to use different interventions to deepen your practice. Often therapists struggle with how to go deeper with their clients, Kimberlee will help you to apply various interventions to deepen your practice and better support individuals. Likewise, we discuss aspects of private practice, scheduling, growing your practice, balance, countertransference and ethical considerations, etc. Supervision offers a rich opportunity to strengthen your skills as a therapist and enhance your work with your clients.
