You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out for support. 💛

Kelsey Lloyd is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) offering compassionate, client-centred counselling at a reduced rate under the supervision of an experienced Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor.

Choosing to work with a student or qualifying therapist can be a wonderful option if you're looking for:

✨ More affordable access to therapy
✨ A therapist with current, up-to-date training and education
✨ Extra support and oversight through clinical supervision
✨ A caring professional who has the time and availability to focus on your goals
✨ A safe, non-judgmental space to talk, heal, and grow

Whether you're navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, Kelsey is here to help.

📍 In-person in Kingston or virtually across Ontario
💲 Reduced-rate sessions available
📅 Currently accepting new clients with immediate availability

Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but you don't have to do it alone.



✨ Sometimes the best time to start therapy isn't when things fall apart—it's when you're ready for things to feel different.

Spring is here 🌿☀️ — which means Walk & Talk Therapy season is officially back and in full swing!

Did you know that some of our therapists offer outdoor Walk & Talk sessions?

Walk & Talk Therapy combines the benefits of movement, fresh air, nature, and conversation in a more relaxed and informal setting. These sessions are less “sit on the couch intensive therapy” and more supportive talk therapy while walking side-by-side at a comfortable pace.

Many clients find it easier to open up while moving, and walking itself can help reduce stress, improve mood, regulate emotions, and ease anxiety.

Walk & Talks can be especially helpful for:
• Anxiety & stress
• Life transitions
• Burnout
• Emotional overwhelm
• Self-esteem & confidence
• Processing everyday challenges
• Clients who feel more comfortable outdoors or moving

This is most popular during the Spring and Summer months — and we can definitely see why 🌱

Currently offered by Jacqueline and Emily.

Today, on International Nurses Day, we celebrate the incredible nurses who make a difference every single day through compassion, dedication, advocacy, and care.

This year’s theme, “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives,” reminds us just how essential nurses are — not only within our healthcare system, but within our communities and the lives they touch daily.

At Rising Phoenix, we are proud to recognize two amazing nurses within our centre community:

✨ Melanie Huffman of Melanie Huffman Child & Parent Counselling
✨ Kendra Armstrong of Armstrong Healthcare & Wellness

Thank you both for the empathy, care, strength, and support you bring to your clients and our community. Your dedication to helping others feel supported, heard, and cared for does not go unnoticed.

To all nurses — thank you for the countless ways you show up for others, often during life’s most vulnerable moments. We see you, appreciate you, and celebrate you today and every day.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and mother figures in every season of the journey. 💛

To the moms in the thick of it.
To the mothers-to-be dreaming of what’s ahead.
To those longing to become mothers.
To those carrying grief, loss, or complicated emotions today.
To the bonus moms, stepmoms, foster moms, grandmothers, pet moms, and those who nurture others so deeply every day — we see you.

As a mental health and wellness centre, we also want to gently remind you: caring for yourself matters too. You cannot pour endlessly from an empty cup. Rest is not selfish. Asking for support is not weakness. Your wellbeing deserves care, compassion, and space too.

Today, we celebrate all the ways motherhood and nurturing show up in this world. Wishing you gentleness, love, and moments of peace today.
