Kristy Abel to Help

I started seeking counselling for my history of family trauma and my personal relationships when I was 16. Kristy was supportive, empathetic, had a wealth of experience, and was knowledgeable in resources for help. My sessions with Kristy allowed for me to take control of my life in challenging situations and in turn, set me up with a foundation for success.

Kristy taught me how to navigate through the hard times while also teaching me self respect, how to have healthy boundaries, and how to cope in healthy ways. She is very kind and treats people like humans. She genuinely wants to know what’s going on but is willing to wait till your comfortable. She talks more than a friend then someone who is just there. Overall the best councillor I’ve worked with!

I write this with tears of joy but When I found Kristy I was in the budding stages stages of my transition as a Trans Woman, It was such an en excruciating and painful time for me… Kristy helped me comprehend my feelings and my emotions were validated that was truly the first time in my life I didn’t feel so alone. Finally I had someone who didn’t just listen to what I had to say, it was more than that but my words were truly heard. During my time there weren’t really any resources to turn to, it felt as if we were cutting through thick dense rose bushes. Kristy was tenacious in aiding me find the right resources in my transition. If it wasn’t for Kristys warmth, patience, understanding and overall sense I wouldn’t be alive today. I cant thank her enough for everything she has and continues to do for me.
