Adoption Therapy

I offer therapy for those affected by Adoption. This is often called the Adoption Constellation (Birth Parents, Adoptive Parents, and Adopted Person). Research shows Adult Adoptees have elevated rates of mood and anxiety disorders, showing significantly worse psychological adjustment than non-adoptees. Adult Adoptees fare worse than non-adoptees in depression, anxiety, neuroticism, behavioural disorders, self-esteem, self-concept, self-control, and moral self approval*.

As an Adoptee myself, my approach comes from lived experience as well as comprehensive research on how to work with the adoption constellation. Together, we will work towards helpful treatment approaches that include the complexity involved in building identity. Reach Out.

Empathy & Insight

My name is Kim, I started EI Therapy, which stands for Empathy & Insight Therapy. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), currently accepting new clients across Ontario, and I bring both professional training and lived experience into the therapy room.

I’ve done a lot, learned a lot, and—like most people—lived through my share of challenges. That combination has shaped how I work: with warmth, curiosity, honesty, and a practical understanding of how complex, messy, and demanding real life can be.

My role is to help you clarify what you’re dealing with, understand why patterns keep showing up, and develop tools that actually help. Together, we work through frustration, grief, and long-standing patterns while developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and a life that feels steadier, more satisfying, and less driven by overwhelm.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
