Hi! I’m Kelsey Ronne and I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist who is dedicated to helping people feel empowered in their experience of life, and to learn how to trust and integrate their innate wisdom.

With the professional work aside, I am first and foremost a human who has experienced complex trauma, anxiety, and chronic health challenges. As a therapist and space-holder, I come with empathy for and understanding of what it’s like to feel stuck, in pain, and living in a cycle that can’t seem to be escaped. In the midst of my own journey, I have learned abut the importance of connection, safety and learning the language of my body, instead of trying to solve or fix what isn’t broken. It is my belief that wherever you are on your path: you make sense.

My work is rooted in curiosity, compassion and exploration - my intention is to create a safe space for my clients to realize they are already growing in the right direction (because that’s life!), while feeling supported and guided in the ways that best meet their needs and challenges.

​I combine my experience, intuition, heart, science and evidence-based therapy/treatment methods in our time together to ensure you are seen for all the parts of you that make you, not just your symptoms. I believe that healing happens when we are met exactly where we are, in spaces where we are seen, heard and supported. I am happy to be offering appointments, three days a week, daytime and evenings.
