ABOUT
KARISA HAVERKAMP, CLINICAL DIRECTOR
RP, MACP, PMH-C (CRPO #008192)
I am passionate about helping individuals tap into their strengths and resilience so that they can move forward with greater confidence, authenticity and calm feeling grounded and safe in the present.
I am certified in perinatal mental health, have training in narrative, bottom up and CBT approaches. I also have training in fertility counselling.
I have created a easy to use burnout recovery program and offer individual burnout recovery therapy for health care workers and care givers specifically.
I use evidence-based, person-centered trauma informed strategies to collaborate with you on your path to thriving.
I have had the privilege to work with so many resilient and courageous individuals over the years. First at a crisis center, then on the six nations of the grand river reserve working with complex trauma survivors and now in private practice.
I worked as a doula for several years and now have 4 beautiful children of my own.
I love to read, love music for so many reasons, love working out (weight lifting), spending time outdoors, gardening and cooking.
I help individuals and couples process past or current pain, to connect more positively and to gain the ability to move forward with joy and confidence into the future.
May all people live authentically fearless lives
