Kristy Fishback
Counselling Intern
Hi, I'm Kristy! I am excited to join the team at the Ingersoll Wellness Hub after almost a decade of working in residential treatment settings supporting youth with complex needs, and adults living with dementia and Alzheimer's.
As an emerging professional in counselling, I am working towards licensure with the CRPO under the supervision of Melanie Rodrigues, Registered Psychotherapist. As I gain skills and experience, I will be offering an affordable and accessible sliding scale to meet clients who have financial constrictions and barriers.
Outside of the office I am an avid baseball fan (Go, Jays, GO!), and I can often be found curled up with a good book, or enjoying a new movie with popcorn in hand!
My Specialties
Working with parents: Prior to my Masters' Degree, I have worked as a Social Service Worker for almost a decade supporting youth with complex behavioral and developmental needs. I am ready to help parents and families who need guidance and support in navigating the tricky waters of parenting, school concerns, and those dreaded teenage years!
Depression and Anxiety: Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or struggling with low mood? I know that you'll find a caring and compassionate space with me. With a warm and non-judgmental approach, I provide a safe space to talk, understand your challenges, and work towards meaningful change. Under the supervision of our clinical director, you’ll receive quality care while being supported every step of the way.
Relationship Support: I am delighted to be offering couples therapy with a focus on helping partners reconnect and strengthen their relationship. I have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and work from a non-judgmental, compassionate stance, creating a safe space where both partners can feel heard and understood.
I know that finding time for therapy can be challenging, so I’m pleased to offer evening appointments to better accommodate your schedule. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or simply looking to improve communication, I’m here to support you as you work towards a stronger, more connected relationship.
LGBTQIA2S+ Folks: I have always lived in rural communities, and know how hard it can be to find a space that is safe and accepting. In 2025, it shouldn't need to be said, but alas - here we are! I'll shout it from the rooftops: straight or queer, you're safe here. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life, without hesitation.
Limitations: I am still achieving my full licensure with the College of Psychotherapists, and thus there are some presenting concerns that are best supported by a seasoned-pro. Individuals requiring specialized trauma care (e.g., EMDR), who have a history of suicide attempts, or are currently struggling with addictions are welcome to get in touch with other clinicians on our team, who would be happy to provide a more specialized level of care.
Contact
I am currently accepting new clients for both daytime and evening appointments on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
Reach out today, and let's get you feeling better!
