Carrie Kyle, M.A., RCC (#15822)
Carrie is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. Before becoming a counsellor, she spent many years working with children and families in both public and independent school systems across Canada and abroad.
Carrie has completed advanced post-graduate training in Expressive Play Therapy, Sand Play Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy.
She considers it a privilege to walk alongside children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families as they navigate emotional, relational, and mental health challenges. Her therapeutic approach is person-centred, solution-focused, and strength-based, creating a compassionate space for clients to explore growth and healing.
Carrie specializes in child and youth therapy, with extensive training and experience in expressive play therapy. She recognizes that children often communicate best through play—especially when words are hard to find. Through play, Carrie helps children build self-regulation skills, strengthen mind-body-emotion awareness, and develop coping and problem-solving abilities. Her work supports healthy attachment, empathy, and resilience, empowering young people to express themselves and connect in healthier ways.
Outside of her professional life, Carrie is happily married and the proud mother of two wonderful young adult children. She also adores her playful cat, whose antics never fail to bring a smile to her face.
