Still Processing Psychotherapy
At its core, "processing" refers to confronting, exploring, and making sense of our thoughts, emotions, experiences, and behaviors within a safe and supportive space.
In therapy, many insights and emotions arise during our sessions and will continue to unfold in your mind between appointments. "Still processing" is a natural and important part of therapeutic growth. You might find yourself reflecting on our conversations, making new connections, or experiencing emotional shifts in the days following a session.
This ongoing internal work is a sign that therapy is taking hold and creating meaningful change.
Meet Kirsti Conway
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), B.A., M.A., CCPA
Healing is an art of connection, learned through compassionate practice. I've discovered that true therapy transcends techniques—it's about creating a space where deep listening meets profound empathy. Each session is a delicate dance of understanding, honoring the client's unique path of resilience and self-discovery.

My Perspective
Maybe you've tried therapy before and felt like something was missing. Traditional approaches that only talk about your thoughts? They rarely touch the deeper truth of your experience. What if healing could be different?
Imagine a therapeutic space where:
- Your body's wisdom is honored, not ignored
- Your struggles are seen as strengths waiting to be understood
- You're not a problem to be "fixed," but a unique story to be explored
I work differently. This isn't about diagnosing or controlling your experience. It's about creating a compassionate partnership where you can truly be seen. Those anxious moments, those persistent tensions you carry -they're not flaws. They're intricate messages about your inner world, waiting to be heard with kindness.
You don't need to have it all figured out. You don't need to be "perfect." You just need to be willing to explore, to be curious about yourself in a way you might never have been before.
Every challenge you've faced isn't a weakness. It's an invitation to grow, to understand yourself more deeply, to develop resilience that comes from genuine self-compassion.
Are you ready to transform your relationship with yourself?
Let's talk. No judgment. No pressure. Just genuine, collaborative healing.

My Therapeutic Approach
I integrate several evidence-based modalities to create a personalized treatment approach that resonates with your unique needs and goals. At the core of my practice is a relational, trauma-informed foundation that recognizes the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance.
Primary Modalities
- EMDR for processing trauma and difficult experiences
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for developing practical coping strategies
- Compassion-Focused Therapy for building self-acceptance
- DBT skills for emotional regulation and mindfulness
My approach draws from person-centered and feminist perspectives, emphasizing your inherent wisdom and the impact of broader social contexts. I incorporate solution-focused and strength-based techniques to help you build on your existing resources while developing new skills.
Whether working through past trauma, current challenges, or future aspirations, we'll collaborate to find approaches that feel right for you. I believe in therapy that's both nurturing and practical, helping you create meaningful change while honoring your experiences and values.
