Kristin Schneck

I provide comprehensive individual therapy and parent support counselling services to children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, parents, and children in both acute care (BC Children’s Hospital, University of British Columbia Hospital, Surrey Memorial Hospital, Foothills Medical Centre) and community mental health settings in various mental health roles.

Some of the psychological challenges I provide treatment for include issues related to early childhood experiences, trauma, ADHD, anxiety, anger, bullying, depression, emotion regulation difficulties, self-esteem, stress, management, relationships, divorce and separation, parenting, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and perinatal loss and grief.

When providing counselling services, I use an integrative trauma-informed approach that includes aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Expressive Art and Play Therapy; all depending on the needs of my clients.

 

I strive to create a safe, inclusive environment for clients to explore, discover, and gain a better understanding of themselves. My goal is to provide you with tools, knowledge, and strategies that you can use immediately. I strongly believe in client-centered, collaborative treatment plans that are focused on individual strengths and evidence-based practice.

Part of my practice focuses on parent counselling. As a parent of 3 little ones, I know that parenting can be the hardest but also the most rewarding experience.  My hope is that I can help you navigate through some of the parenting challenges you are experiencing and help you create the relationship you desire with your child(ren).  I am also honored to provide support to parents adjusting to parenthood. This can be a time of many emotions including, excitement, happiness, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and grief. My hope is that I can provide a supportive, compassionate space to help support you through this transition.
