Hi! I’m Kristen Lawrance-Brown. I am a Registered Social Worker offering counselling in Kelowna. I have 8 years of experience in community and school-based mental health counselling, 15 years of experience supporting neurodiverse individuals, and lived experience with chronic illness/pain.
As a “Therapy Nerd”, I have collected a large toolbox of evidenced based tools to help you move towards your goals. However, experience has taught me that the most healing happens when sessions go beyond skill-building, and you are given a safe venue to uncover, explore, and connect with your emotions, thoughts, and somatic sensations.
I strive to create a space that feels comfortable, and includes joy, humor, and laughter. I avoid sessions feeling rigid or clinical, because I believe healing happens when we can be our truest selves.
