Michelle C. Kropp, BEd, MACP, CCC

Counselling Therapist

I bring with me over 25 years of experience working in education, mental health, and social work. I continue to work as a school counsellor and am an advocate for children, parents, and teachers. I enjoy working with teens, adults, and seniors who seek help with various issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions. I am passionate about career counselling, workplace bullying and harassment, addictions, and working with parents/teens of blended families, or those experiencing high conflict divorces. Whether you seek to clarify values, address specific concerns, or examine decisions, therapy can help.

I offer Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Art therapy perspectives. I offer Cognitive-Behaviour therapy, somatic and mindfulness-based tools, and strategies. I utilize an integrated framework, which draws from attachment, psychodynamic, gestalt, trauma-processing, and cognitive-behavioral therapies.

I believe authentic therapeutic relationships are critical to clients feeling safe and supported on their journey of discovering while activating inner resources and developing new coping skills. I use empathy, honesty, humor, and creativity in sessions and create a safe and non-judgemental space for clients to explore their potential.
