Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe and supportive. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear goal to begin—just a willingness to show up as you are.

Marlee Kernick is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, life transitions, and a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Her style is warm, thoughtful, and attuned, with care given to both emotional depth and a client’s sense of safety.

Marlee’s work is grounded in a person-centred and biopsychosocial framework, recognizing the interconnected emotional, physical, relational, and contextual layers of a person’s experience. She takes a holistic and integrative approach to care, drawing from IFS, CBT, DBT, emotion-focused therapy, and somatic mindfulness to foster a greater connection between mind and body. When meaningful to the client, she holds a respectful curiosity for spirituality and meaning-making as part of the therapeutic process.

Therapy with Marlee is collaborative and experiential. She prioritizes deep listening, validation, and encouragement, while also offering thoughtful and intentional challenge to support growth and change. Grounded in authenticity and honesty, her work emphasizes curiosity, exploration, and relational safety rather than quick fixes.

Together, we can create space for reflection, healing, and deeper self-awareness — at a pace that feels right for you.
