Kali Polychronakos, BSW, MCP, RCC

Are you ready for a change? You’ve come to the right place.

My name is Kali and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I help people create the life they want by supporting them in reconnecting with their strengths, clarifying what matters most to them, and moving beyond what holds them back.

My approach to counselling is collaborative, empowerment-based, and non-judgmental.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology.

I am also an EMDR trained therapist.

Other areas I specialize in include:

• trauma,
• working through relationship challenges, 
• increasing communication skills (such as boundary setting and expressing needs and wants to others), 
• increasing one’s sense of self-worth and self-esteem, 
• overcoming/managing anxious and intrusive thoughts,
• depression,
• strengthening coping skills, such as emotional regulation and distress tolerance,
• increasing one’s general sense of well-being, 
• goal setting, working towards change, and life transitions. 

• Narrative Therapy,
• CBT,
• ACT,
• Motivational Interviewing,
• Non Violent Communication,
• and Mindfulness-based interventions.

I also utilize elements of positive psychology by leveraging what’s already working in your life to increase your well-being and meet your goals, without ever minimizing the challenges that you might be facing.

I always work from a trauma-informed lens. I believe that it is important and helpful to understand how our past experiences have affected us, while working towards creating the life that we want for our present and future selves.

Most of all, I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and that you are capable of overcoming whatever challenges have come into your life. I believe that you are so much more than your problems. You are a whole person, deserving of happiness. 

Our work together will be focused on your goals, and on creating the life that you want for yourself. Don’t worry if you don’t know exactly what those goals are yet, figuring that out is sometimes an important part of the work. Other times, you might know exactly what you want, and we can start there.
