I typically support individuals with complex trauma, depression, and relationship issues. ​​​I possess over 10 years of experience building relationships in a supportive role with a diverse range of youth and adults in all age brackets, and over three years of clinical experience. ​
I bring curiosity and personal experience into every relationship and hope to support you as a confidential, empathetic, and professional resource worthy of your trust. ​​​​
Nick Kenny, BA, MACP
Registered Psychotherapist
My approach can be referred to as "bio-psycho-social" as I include psychotherapeutic theory as well as knowledge from biology, psychology, and sociology while forming an understanding of who you are and what you face. I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where you can explore experiences and track influences on your behaviour. If you are interested in a particular change, we can collaboratively evaluate specific patterns and issues and relevant evidence-based strategies and skills to help you create the change you desire. I aim to tailor therapy to your temperament, preferences, and views of the world.
A common first step is to simply acknowledge and understand the origins of who you are now, like how you respond to contexts and conversations. You may be surprised at how helpful simply acknowledging your patterns in a supportive environment can be. Hopefully, we can eventually open new doors sealed by shame or some other protective purpose, and find a pathway towards tolerating the "shadow" emotion so you can move through it and gain insight along the way.
​
I use techniques which examine thoughts, behaviours, physical sensations, and relationships to gain evidence and provide an explanation for who you are. We may explore your connections, habits, and passions to find direction, and then begin the journey of developing a more resilient and fulfilling lifestyle.
