Kristie Brassard

Are you ready to stop just “coping” and start growing?

As the Founder & Clinical Director of Kaleidoscope Counselling Collective, Kristie brings a seasoned perspective, deep intuition, personal experience and a warm, lighthearted spirit to her work. She is committed to helping clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be.

How Can Kristie Help

Kristie offers an integrative approach that both includes and goes beyond talk therapy depending on client needs. Using psychodynamic and insight-oriented therapy, compassionate inquiry, trauma & attachment-focused models, and “parts work,” she helps clients uncover the root causes of anxiety, shame, and burnout. Whether navigating neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, AuDHD) including late diagnosis, relationships including ENM/CNM, 2SLGBTQIA+ issues including coming out later in life, or the aftermath of trauma, Kristie provides a container that is both grounded and emotionally safe.
