Therapy
Therapy is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and a therapist that uses scientifically validated procedures to help people develop healthier, more effective life habits. Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who is objective, neutral and nonjudgmental. You and your therapist will work together to identify and change the thought and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best. Therapy aims to teach new skills sets so that you can better cope with whatever challenges arise in the future.

Krista Pulfer B.A, R.S.S.W, Social Worker/Psychotherapist
With over twenty years of experience in human and social services, Krista brings a wealth of clinical skill, insight, and lived experience to her therapy practice. Using her grounded, compassionate presence, Krista offers a direct, transparent, and empathetic approach to her work. Whether through therapeutic support, family services, or social work-informed care, people feel deeply heard and supported by Krista, while also gently encouraged to grow and move toward meaningful change. Krista supports individuals, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges, including parenting and caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, relationship and family issues, adoption-related experiences, pre- and post-natal challenges, adverse childhood experiences, interpersonal communication difficulties, life changes, work or family-related burnout, and grief and loss. She also has extensive experience working with individuals involved in the child welfare system and those impacted by intimate partner violence, attachment disruptions, or those who have limited family and social support. Krista’s diverse background allows her to connect with clients from ‘all walks of life’ with empathy, clarity, and a grounded, nonjudgmental presence. A deep appreciation for human resilience, interdependence, and the importance of connection informs her clinical work and therapeutic philosophy. Krista brings balance and perspective to her therapy work, recognizing the value of leaning into serious moments while also embracing the healing power that light- hearted and silly moments offer. She believes therapy doesn’t have to be stiff, sometimes the most meaningful breakthroughs happen between belly laughs and beautifully awkward silences. When Krista is not in work mode, she is chasing sunshine and squeezing joy out of the little things – like a quiet moment with a cozy blanket and a good book, a backyard project that somehow turned into a full-blown landscaping saga, or a yoga session that leaves her smiling. She is all about good food, loud laughter, and quality time with her favourite people – including her kids, who keep her humble, entertained, and occasionally decorated in snack crumbs and inexplicable glitter. Whether she is powering through a workout or sitting down to a delicious dinner with people she loves (preferably one she did not have to cook herself), Krista tries to bring energy, heart, and a healthy dose of fun to everything she does.
