With a unique background in business, coaching, and psychology, I support professionals and executives and help them thrive and succeed in their careers, work, and personal lives. In collaborating together, we may focus on various areas, including career transitions, leadership development, interpersonal relationships, stress management, and other workplace-related issues -- or simply to identify and tap into their full potential to realize desired goals. Our work generally results in deeper insights into themselves with more expansive perspectives of the world. This empowers clients to move forward with more meaning and purpose.

Welcome, courageous human. If you're feeling stuck, chaotic, or overwhelmed, I see you. I work in depth, brain-body-spirit, with those healing from betrayal trauma (including childhood abuse/neglect, sexual assault, incest) and with people who require support during life changes. My approach is clinically sound yet also creative, not just 'talk therapy.' We are also bodies, entire nervous systems, and much of my clinical training focuses on brain integration through somatic (body) awareness. My hypnotherapy work is specific-problem/issue based, and different than regular therapy. Learn more about both here: www.karenconnelly.ca.

Sometimes, we may find ourselves facing life experiences which bring us suffering and we have not enough answers. We might feel strange, anxious, sad, worried with symptoms of emotional pain. On these moments, a therapist assistance would provide a safe, healthy environment to work on those issues. The therapy environment aims at allowing you the possibility to access to the root of difficulties rather than looking at exterior manifestations During our sessions, I will not judge either your past or present choices. My private practice includes services in Spanish (my mother tongue) providing brief and long-term treatment.

These groups are for individuals who want to understand and improve the quality of the relationships in their lives.

In an environment of safety, trust, honesty and open communication, group members will have the opportunity to examine their style of relating to others. They will learn to live in full, open, honest relationships, experience emotional and social support and learn from others.

It’s not always easy being human, is it? I find that the greatest gift of therapy, when there is a strong air of compassion, presence and curiosity in the therapeutic alliance, is the ability to reclaim our needs, our full range of feelings, our joy and our aliveness. While building skills of mindfulness, self-compassion, and embodied awareness, I believe there is immense possibility that lies in our unfolding wholeness, waiting to be discovered - creative choice made more accessible, when we're less held back by our fears, our core beliefs, and pain that we've had to organize around to survive.

I believe therapy is for everyone. We all deserve a warm and empathic space to bring our innermost thoughts, fears, and needs. As a fat, queer, trans, and neurodivergent person, I have always found it difficult to fit myself into the world around me. For this reason, as a therapist, I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all therapeutic modality. I specialize in working with people who live outside of the margins and my goal is to provide you with a compassionate and collaborative space to make therapy work for you.
