Counselling through Social Work and Trauma Informed lens
My name is Kody Kearns, and I am a dedicated and compassionate registered social worker with over a decade of experience working with children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, and challenging life circumstances. I graduated from York University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Social Work, resulting in my career as a Registered Social Worker.
My passion and experience for helping children and families who have experienced trauma and adversity led me to pursue a career in counselling. I use a relational approach and dyadic developmental psychotherapy approaches with youth and caregivers to help strengthen their relationships. My focus is on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, and develop the skills they need to overcome challenges and thrive.
I have worked with a wide range of clients, including children, teens, and adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, anxiety, and traumatic events. I am known for my ability to connect with my clients and create a safe and supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts and feelings.
My approach to counselling is deeply rooted in empathy, compassion, and respect. I believe that every client has the ability to heal and grow, and that my role as a counsellor is to provide the support and guidance they need to do so. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches, mindfulness, and trauma-informed therapy, to help my clients develop the skills and resilience they need to overcome their challenges and thrive.
