Services for families seeking support
Many young people and their families reach out seeking support for the daily struggles of life.
These include anxious thoughts, stress, school avoidance, family conflict, grief and loss and other challenges.
Families are often seeking support and guidance as they do not know where to turn when their child or adolescent faces difficulties.
Together we will work on both building your child's protective factors and responding to the problems impacting their potential.
Get everything you need for your interactive sessions… and beyond!
The unique thing about my practice is that sessions are virtual, so clients join from the comfort and security of their home. All materials required for the interactive sessions are provided to you by Kima Connections Counselling, right down to the markers! Items are mailed in confidential packaging and arrive via Canada Post.
Sessions are followed by an emailed letter, which may include videos or exercises to help you practice your skills between sessions. We start every session where we left off so that progress happens quickly. Counselling takes a holistic perspective, involving a young person's parents and natural supports in finding progress.
For our younger clients, parent sessions are held at regular intervals at no additional cost.
Have questions? Here’s a little bit more about what to expect.
“I’ve been trying to find the right counselor since the age of 13, I never found anyone that I made progress with or even really liked, that is until this summer when I was fortunate enough to be able to meet Kim! Kim has a way of hearing me that no one else does, she always knows exactly what I need to hear/ do and I am in awe of how much progress I have made in the past 7 months I’ve spent working with her.
Kim goes above and beyond for her clients, she even takes the time to mail activities or stress relieving items! I’ve shared my whole life with Kim and I definitely would not be where I was today, possibly not even here, if it wasn’t for Kim.”

DISCLAIMER: A NOTE FROM KIMBERLY
Please note that in addition to my private practice, I am an employee of Louis Riel School Division in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
In order to avoid any and all conflicts of interest, families and students who attend school in LRSD are not able to access my services.
Kima Connections Counselling is also for adults!
Healing is everyday work.
As adults, we need support to manage the stressors of life, deal with our past and present traumas, and develop positive coping skills in the face of an anxious world. At Kima Connections Counselling, we work from a proactive perspective to help you reach your goals and live in alignment with your values. Specializing in helping adults deal with shame and trauma of the past, untangle from negative belief patterns, and live as your authentic self.
At Kima, we utilize different modalities and skills in order to best meet your needs. We work for you! The combination of EMDR, psychotherapy, and narrative letters makes for powerful movement within sessions. It’s important that we find the combination of connection, strategies, and treatments that support your development long after counselling ends.
All of our interventions have been adapted to a safe, virtual therapy format. Join us from the safe comfort of your own home, without the worry of travel, parking, and juggling schedules. We look forward to having you with us.
