Kristin Munro
Registered Provisional Psychologist, CCC, RCC
Compassion, non-judgement, empathy, and clarity are what you can look forward to when working with Kristin. Specializing in trauma-informed approaches like EMDR (S.A.F.E.) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), Kristin will work to support you on your journey as you become the best version of your Self—as defined by you. She believes each person’s story is unique and works collaboratively with clients to build a path forward that will create harmony within the internal system and restore a sense of balance, calm and clarity. She has experience working with the symptoms of trauma, attachment breaches, chronic pain, depression, grief, anxiety, personality issues, communication struggles, and a wide spectrum of other personal challenges.
Kristin’s own view on change, therapy and healing is informed by her personal healing journey after a struggle with OCD and disordered eating and having been in recovery now for many years. The concept that each of us has within us the capacity to heal through compassion, clarity, connection, creativity and courage is central to the work Kristin does with clients.
As an EMDR S.A.F.E. (somatic/attachment) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level I trained therapist, Kristin’s approach is guided by research in attachment, mindfulness and sensorimotor fields. She also draws on therapeutic techniques from Gestalt, Feminist, Somatic Experiencing, Narrative, Person-centred and other complementary approaches as you work together to create a treatment plan that will bring the change and healing you desire in your life.
Kristin holds a Master’s in Counselling, a BA in Behavioural Science, and is registered as a Provisional Psychologist with CAP, and as a CCC with the CCPA. Before making a career change to counselling, she worked as a leadership coach, change management specialist and project manager in the area of human resources for many years. Client advocacy and working to help create safe spaces for speaking truth has always been a priority throughout her career.
On a personal note, Kristin enjoys the outdoors during all the seasons Calgary offers, whether riding her motorbike, snowshoeing, kayaking, golfing or cozying up inside with a great book.
