My name is KayLee, and I am a dedicated counselling psychology student currently enrolled in the Master of Arts Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University. I am committed to integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic approaches to support individuals on their journey towards emotional wellness. 

I hold an Honours Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toronto, where I specialized in Psychology and Political Science. I have extensive experience working in the field of education where I encouraged individual growth through unique and personalized care. It was through this experience that I was granted the rewarding experience of working with clients from the age five to 65, teaching them violin and piano.

With a foundation in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based practices, I am passionate about helping clients navigate challenges and achieve their goals. I have a special interest in using music and art, to facilitate self-expression and emotional regulation.

If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, stress, or just having difficulty achieving goals and overall happiness, we can work together through a person-centered approach to customize a treatment plan that is unique to you.

A little bit about me:

• I enjoy spending time in nature, drinking coffee, and playing violin

• My favourite book is called The Institute by Stephen King

• I moved to Ontario from Upstate New York at the age of 19

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming and scary, yet also become a sacred and fulfilling journey. My goal is to create a safe and comforting space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. So I can walk alongside each client on their journey toward healing and personal growth.

My name is Emily Arthur and I am a psychotherapy Intern at Circle Psychotherapy and Wellness. I am in the process of completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, and currently hold a Bachelor’s Honours degree in Psychology and Family and Child Studies from the University of Guelph.

​

I work with individuals aged 10 and older who may be navigating challenges such as anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and even sport performance anxiety. I approach therapy with a person-centred philosophy, focusing on the unique needs of each individual and integrate different modalities, such as mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic approaches, to create a personalized, supportive experience. Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, build resilience, and foster a sense of confidence and inner peace.

• I’m an animal lover with four fur babies who bring joy to my life

• When I’m not working, I am coaching girls' volleyball
