FREE SOUL PSYCHOLOGY

Kaylee Garside, R.Psych

Hi! I’m Kaylee, a Registered Psychologist that has been offering counselling services in the private practice sector since 2016.

Prior to working in private practice, I gained valuable experience at the Calgary Counselling Centre and Distress Centre working with diverse populations and a variety of presenting issues. I now primarily work with individual adults and adolescents, but have previous experience working with couples and families as well.

I strongly believe that the definition of a meaningful life is unique to each client and as such, I seek to integrate individual values and beliefs into the therapeutic process, using a blend of compassion, humanness, and humour (when needed!). My primary goal is to meet you where you are at and leave you more connected and tuned into yourself through our work together.

Some areas of strength for myself include anxiety disorders, depression, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), existential concerns, life transitions, grief/loss, self-esteem and self-compassion, relationship concerns, emotional regulation, mindfulness, trauma, and stress management. While I consider myself an eclectic relational therapist, I tend to operate most from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) modality that is rooted in an attachment-based and trauma-informed lens. Other approaches that I draw from include Existential therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions.

Outside of work, you can find me spending time with my two human children and my 2 fur children (both count!), trying new restaurants, being active, and dabbling in the creative arts.
