Paige Kilian
Student Therapist - MACP (IN PROGRESS) Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Hey! I am Paige. From a young age, I was always curious about the world and the people around me, which sparked my deep interest in understanding human emotions and behaviors. Growing up as a natural caretaker, I developed a strong sense of empathy and a desire to help others heal. Experiencing loss early in life shaped my understanding of grief and resilience, which ultimately led me to pursue psychotherapy. My approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a belief that healing is possible, even in the face of deep emotional pain.
My goal is to help you find strength and clarity on your journey to well-being and bouncing back!
We can connect virtually or in person
Whether you’re near or far, I can help you bounce back. We can meet in-person in a calming, quiet environment in our newly renovated office space in Dundas, Ontario. We can also meet conveniently online or via telephone, giving you more flexibility to choose a time and place that works for you and your busy schedule.

My approach
My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative, focusing on the unique needs of each individual. I integrate evidence-based techniques with a deep emphasis on self-compassion, body awareness, and emotional resilience. In our work together, I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their challenges. Whether through reflective dialogue, practical coping strategies, or somatic practices, I guide clients toward greater self-understanding and meaningful growth. My goal is to help clients build a stronger connection with themselves and develop the tools needed to navigate life with confidence and clarity.

I provide clients with skills to regulate emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and build distress tolerance in challenging situations.
