Krista Blakelock

We wake up each day, perhaps with the hope that today will be easier than yesterday, that stressors won't cause outbursts, that conversations won't be agonizing. You try to handle a variety of issues, challenges, or hurts, but finish the day feeling misunderstood, alone, or purposeless. Sometimes this routine becomes overwhelming and you use strategies that you're not proud of in attempts to cope with all the sensations, thoughts, and emotions happening inside of you. Krista recognizes how this pattern can keep you stuck and keeps you frustrated or ashamed. Her hope is to provide a safe space where you as the client feel in control and heard, so that you can work collaboratively to build new coping strategies, befriend emotions, and find ways to authentically express yourself.

Krista is passionate about working with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief and shame which can surround life transitions, and substance use. 

She is an ally to the LGBTQ2S+ community with extensive experience working with folks in the party and play scene. 

She is knowledgeable about safe psychedelic preparation and integration. 

Krista currently provides virtual online individual counselling sessions.

One Tuesday evening per month, Krista has a private office space for in-person counselling sessions. These can be booked online.
