Meet Holly
Holly Kristensen | (RP, MSc, MDiv, PhD Cand.)
Hi, I’m Holly! I’m a Registered Psychotherapist, educator, speaker, and, most importantly, a mom to four wonderful daughters. I feel privileged to walk alongside people as they navigate the challenges, transitions, and relationships that shape their lives.
My approach to therapy is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling safe, heard, and understood. My role is to listen without judgment, offer perspective and encouragement, and help you develop practical tools for understanding yourself, strengthening your relationships, and moving toward greater emotional well-being.
My academic background includes a Master of Science in Psychology, a Master of Divinity in Clinical Counselling, and a Ph.D. in Psychology (in progress). Over the past ten years, I’ve worked across clinical, educational, corporate, and non-profit settings, supporting people as they discover their strengths, navigate challenges, and pursue meaningful growth.
Whether you’re coming to counselling because something feels difficult right now or because you want to better understand yourself and your relationships, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
