KYLA MOON COUNSELLING & ASSOCIATES
Registered Clinical Counsellors &
Registered Marriage and Family Therapists
My belief and philosophy
I am a counsellor, speaker, and fellow human along the healing journey. I love walking with others as they reflect, strengthen, release, heal and grow. I believe every person has innate worth and value and because of this, I know it is an honour to be brought into someone’s journey. I believe that we as humans, flourish when we have deep, meaningful connections and are able to be fully seen and known. That is my hope for you, in working with me.

Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision is an integral part of our work as clinical counsellors. Consistent supervision throughout our career is critical in ensuring we are ethical, skilled therapist's. Choosing a supervisor is similar to choosing a therapist, in that you are looking for a safe, supportive relationship- one you can be vulnerable and grow. In clinical supervision you will receive space to process cases, explore ethical dilemmas and dig into the person of the therapist. The goal of supervision is to continually grow in your skill and to deepen your personal therapeutic voice.
