Kylie Posteraro

My education includes a Master's degree in Theology, with an emphasis in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy from Wilfrid Laurier. I also completed a Bachelor of Arts from Redeemer University in Social Work. My previous work experience involved coming alongside families, schools, and residential group homes to provide assistance and strategic behavior management as needed. Prior to this work, I spent time mentoring young adults in a gap-year program in Western Canada and South Africa. My duties involved providing counsel and support as the students spent time learning about their identities and faith in a cross-cultural setting. Through these experiences, I have come to love learning about people's stories as they process the pain and joy of life.

Our stories are profound and provide significant insight into who we are and where we have come from. It's an honor to be invited into the experiences of someone's life, and I believe that psychotherapy provides an opportunity to tell these stories. My therapeutic approach involves addressing the pain within and allowing my clients to draw meaning from stories of pain. I am person-centered in my approach, so depending on the client's need at hand, I enjoy drawing from various modalities which I think will be most suitable to the client. Some of the modalities I work from are CBT, IFS, narrative therapy, and existential approaches.
