Kristen Lawrynowycz
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), CRPO #18172
Kristen works with teens, adults, and couples who may be dealing with anxiety,trauma, relationship patterns, rejection sensitivity,grief, shame, loneliness, or a difficulttransition.
Her style is collaborative and compassionate. Therapy offers room to understand the emotional and relational patterns behind what is happening, while building practical ways to respond with more clarity and self-trust.
In session
Curious, relational, and grounded in respect.
Kristen understands that grief is not limited to bereavement. The loss of an identity, relationship, opportunity, hoped-for future, or sense of belonging can also be painful and isolating. Sessions can make space for experiences that other people may not fully recognize.
Her approach draws from attachment-based, compassion-focused, emotionally focused, humanistic, psychodynamic, relational, somatic, and trauma-focused therapy. The work is paced around the client rather than a fixed formula.
Areas of support

Trauma and attachment
