About Marlee Kernick
When life begins to feel heavy, confusing, or emotionally overwhelming, psychotherapy can provide a safe space to explore your inner world and move toward healing, insight, and meaningful change. Therapy is a place for curiosity, honesty, and growth, where change can unfold through self-reflection, practice, and compassion – guiding you towards a more balanced, connected life.
Marlee is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who provides individual therapy for teens and adults who need warm, empathetic, and genuine support. She works with clients navigating concerns related to emotional regulation, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and feeling disconnected from themselves or others. Before becoming a therapist, Marlee worked in multiple healthcare settings supporting a variety of diverse individuals, including group homes, respite, folks with ASD and neurodivergence, and people with moderate-severe TBIs.
Her work is grounded in a person-centred, trauma-informed framework, with an integrative and flexible approach to care. Marlee draws from IFS, CBT, emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness-based practices, somatic therapy, and elements of DBT and ACT. She holds a respectful curiosity for spirituality and meaning-making when appropriate, and uses a biopsychosocial framework to understand and respond to the interconnected emotional, physical, relational, and contextual layers of a person’s experience. Each session is tailored to the individual’s needs, values, and goals, with an emphasis on compassion, collaboration, and strengths-based care.
Together, we can create space for reflection, healing, and deeper self-awareness — at a pace that feels right for you.
