KRISTY REBENCHUK |
Associate Therapist |
Hello, my name is Kristy. I am a registered social worker with the Manitoba College of Social Workers and hold a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in International Development and Conflict Resolution Studies from the University of Winnipeg, as well as a Master’s degree in Social Work from The University of Manitoba.
My own journey into becoming a practicing therapist began from my own personal life experiences, which instilled in me a strong desire to offer care and compassion to others. I have spent a large amount of time working internationally, as well as in Winnipeg and Vancouver, and have supported individuals in their healing for over fifteen years through experiences of: grief and loss, substance abuse and addiction, mental illness, homelessness and displacement, relationship struggles, boundary setting, domestic violence, child apprehension, family issues, complex trauma, man-made and natural disasters, serious violence, abuse and harassment, interpersonal and workplace conflict, as well as newcomer settlement and cultural adaptation.
I view wellness in a holistic manner and approach situations through a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens. I believe you are the expert in your life and hold the power in determining how your journey should be pursued.
I have been trained in a variety of modalities, inclusive but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Conflict Resolution, Solutions Focused Therapy, Talk Therapy, Meditation, Mindfulness and Self Compassion, Narrative Therapy, as well as EMDR.
I am deeply committed to supporting you connect with the areas of your life you wish to explore, and in so doing am also deeply committed to ensuring I offer a safe space, free of judgment, in order for you to truly feel able to express yourself.
I hold a considerable amount of compassion and strive for you to feel this compassion, empathy and genuine support in my practice every single session. I consider it an honour to walk alongside you as you journey towards enhanced health and happiness.
When I am not supporting people in therapy, I serve as a Director of a non-profit agency. My free time is also often spent going on adventures with my beautiful and very spirited three year old daughter! I also have a passion for dance, music and travelling the world to learn about cultures and lifestyles.
I believe hope can bring about great change, and I look forward to supporting you to reconnect, recover and achieve the wellness you deserve.
