Kiara Panetta, BSc, MA, RP

Registered Psychotherapist

Clinical Supervisor

I work with adolescents, adults and couples. I have a special interest in working with anxiety, eating disorders, body image issues, women’s issues, relationship issues, depression, stress, and self esteem. I welcome clients from the LGBTQ+ community and am also an approved provider through the NIHB (Non-Insured Health Benefits) program for First Nations clients.

I take a strengths-based approach to therapy and believe that the client is the expert of their story. I pull from a range of therapeutic approaches to address my clients’ needs including Relational-Cultural Therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment-based, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), The Gottman Method, Imago and Trauma-focused.

I’ve received training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), The Gottman Couples Method, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Imago Relationship Therapy, Trauma-Informed Mindfulness, and Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). I'm currently undergoing training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence based therapy to help individuals heal from trauma. I completed my undergraduate degree at McMaster University in Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour (B.Sc.) and my master’s degree at Yorkville University in Counselling Psychology (M.A.C.P.). I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

If you are interested in working together, I provide free 30-minute consultations, to determine if this is the right fit for you. I offer daytime appointments from Tuesday-Thursday. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at a[email protected]. I look forward to supporting you on your path to wellness.
