Not accepting new clients at this time.
Chelsea has a gentle, approachable, and compassionate presence that allows her to create meaningful bonds with her clients. She is passionate about supporting clients that have experienced life altering traumas. Her carefree and humanistic approach makes it easy for her to connect to adults, as well as youth. She approaches therapy through a foundation of person-centered counselling and somatic healing through the body. She believes that there are countless meaningful ways that we can heal as individuals, families, and communities. Individual therapy is just one of many ways that can be helpful for people to feel connected to our authentic selves and find solace amidst our pain. She has a strong orientation to social justice and is an intersectional feminist. Often she approaches therapy from a social and political lens, understanding that systems of oppression and injustice in our world affect many parts of our lives.

Krisa Kotassidis, MSW, RSW
Accepting new clients.
Krisa has a transparent, collaborative, and deeply curious approach with clients. She is a feminist narrative therapist, which means that fair relationships and your life’s stories are at the centre of her work. She often invites imagination and humour in conversations to help you separate yourself from the problem. Krisa’s hope is for you to gather more insight into what you truly care about and have more options for what you want to do. She invites considerations of race, culture, religion, spirituality, and politics into conversations to deeply understand the unique context of what you are up against. She is passionate about relationships, the fluid nature of gender, sexuality and the erotic, as well as all questions about life and death that humans often ponder over. Krisa will take detailed notes and write you poems, letters, and other word combinations to better understand what keeps you up at night and bring to the forefront the unique stories of your life that have been overlooked.
Krisa is a third-generation settler of Greek descent. She was born in Treaty 13 and moved to Greece at the age of 5. Eighteen years later, she moved back to Treaty 13, and for the past three years, she has been doing life in Treaty 7. She loves cooking, baking, caring for her plants or her friends’ cats, and engaging in all artistic activities her loved ones are willing to try out with her.
