Erik Smyth, Practicum Student
December 3, 2005Please Note: Kassidy is not currently accepting new clients at this time.
Kassidy is a Clinical Psychology Practicum Student currently completing her training as part of her graduate studies in clinical psychology. She practices from an Adlerian and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) lens and is committed to fostering a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their challenges and strengths.
As a proud Métis woman, Kassidy values the importance of culture, identity, and community in the healing process. She brings this understanding into her work, offering a culturally sensitive approach that respects each client’s unique background and lived experience.
Her therapeutic work is grounded in the belief that people are capable of growth, change, and creating meaning in their lives. From an Adlerian perspective, she supports clients in exploring early life experiences, developing self-awareness, and cultivating a sense of purpose and belonging. Through CBT, she helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, build coping strategies, and work toward meaningful goals.
Kassidy is particularly passionate about trauma-informed care and recognizes the profound impact that trauma can have on individuals and families. She is also deeply interested in the role that the family system plays in the healing and development of children and adolescents, and works to support not only the individual, but the broader context in which they live and grow.
She understands that starting therapy can feel vulnerable and is dedicated to creating a space that is warm, welcoming, and supportive. As a practicum student, she is supervised by licensed clinicians and committed to ongoing learning and professional development.
She is passionate about supporting diverse communities and has a particular interest in working with individuals navigating identity, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and family dynamics.
Kassidy is practicing as an intern under the supervision of Devinder Dhaliwal (RCSW #13248)
