Kristin Michie Psychotherapy, Newmarket, ON

Whether you're a student facing a deadline, a professional struggling with burnout, or a parent trying to balance care for everyone but yourself, I provide a space to unpack what's happening and find your way forward.
My approach goes beyond surface-level coping strategies. I work with you to deepen self-awareness, build emotional resilience, and restore a sense of momentum and meaning in your life. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, habits, environment, and nervous system interact — and create practical steps toward change that feel doable and grounded.
You can expect a collaborative, non-judgmental, and tailored approach to therapy. From our first session, we’ll work together to identify your unique goals and the barriers that get in the way. I integrate evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), or a more psychodynamic approach, in a way that’s relevant to your lived experience.
My practice is inclusive and culturally responsive, and I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds, including those in the LGBTQ+ community. Creating a safe, respectful, and empowering space is foundational to the work we’ll do together.
Psychotherapy is my second career — one I came to through a lifelong curiosity about human nature, growth, and meaning. I’ve lived and worked in New York and London, but Toronto is home, where I live with my family. I’m also a parent of two university-aged sons, and I understand firsthand the unique pressures of parenting, academic life, and the messy middle of adulthood.
