Kristin Boettger (she/her)
Canadian Certified Counsellor
Registered Art Therapist
EMDR Certified
I offer personalized counselling services for young people and women+ of all ages. My approach is warm and collaborative, developed from over 20 years of professional training and experience. I believe that therapy is about creating the conditions for you to connect with your body, move safely through emotions, make sense of your experiences and learn to express yourself freely. Together, we will focus on transforming the underlying patterns that influence your life rather than just relying on short-term solutions.
​
In my practice I incorporate a range of methods including emotion-focused therapy, somatic exercises, parts work, trauma processing, EMDR, art therapy, parent coaching and CBT tools.
​​
As a practicing artist, I enjoy drawing, painting, collaging, sculpting, designing, and exploring new ideas. I also love creating vibrant and inspiring visuals to educate and motivate others.

As a settler who is living and working on this land, I acknowledge Calgary / Mohkinstsis (MOH-kin-stiss) as the traditional territories of the peoples of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. This includes the Blackfoot First Nation tribes of Siksika, the Piikuni, the Kainai, the Stoney Nakoda First Nations tribes of Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley and the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Metis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. I am so grateful for the generosity and wisdom of traditional knowledge-keepers and elders who continue to protect and honour this land through their teachings and ceremony and I acknowledge my ongoing responsibility to take active steps in the process of reconciliation and healing of all peoples.
