Kimberley Hansen
Kimberley Hansen is a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and a Counselling Therapist (CCTA) with The Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta (ACTA). Kimberley is also a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (RMFT) with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and the Canadian Association for Couple and Family Therapy (CACFT).
Kimberley is a compassionate and experienced therapist who works with individuals of all ages—children, teens, adults, parents, couples, and families. She has a deep understanding of the challenges that come with difficult childhood experiences, and she specializes in helping those who have experienced complex trauma. Whether you’re a parent seeking support for your child, a family coping with grief or illness, or an individual working through personal struggles, Kimberley offers a safe, non-judgmental space to help you heal and move forward.
With a background in working with children and adolescents facing a wide range of mental health and behavioural challenges, Kimberley is well-equipped to help kids process tough emotions in ways that feel natural and comfortable for them. She often uses creative activities like board games, drawing, or going for walks to help children open up and make sense of what they’re feeling. This approach recognizes that kids often need to move or express themselves in different ways to feel heard.
Kimberley is trained in Trauma-Informed Care, which means she always prioritizes your safety and emotional well-being in every session. She is also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which is a gentle, evidence-based method for processing trauma. Whether you’re dealing with family conflict, loss, domestic violence, or other difficult situations, Kimberley is committed to working with you collaboratively to find the best path forward.
If you’re looking for a therapist who truly listens, values your experiences, and provides practical tools for healing, Kimberley would be honored to support you on your journey.
