Kendra Wagner | Virtual Therapy across Ontario & In-Person Counselling in Hillsdale (Barrie, Midland, Orillia).

Education and Clinical Credentials.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO, #006971). I've spent the last 15 years helping people navigate the parts of life that feel too heavy to carry alone.

I bring a trauma-informed, compassionate approach to my work with clients and consultees alike. I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, currently completing my formal IFS Level 1 training through the IFS Institute. My practice weaves together specialized expertise in IFS for EMDR, complex relational trauma, and Peaceful Brain-Body Parenting principles. In addition to individual therapy, I provide clinical supervision and specialized EMDR consultation to support fellow therapists in their professional growth.

My educational background includes an Honours Bachelor of Science (HBSc) from the University of Toronto, a Graduate Diploma of Education (GradDipEd) from the University of the Sunshine Coast, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University.

I combine this professional training with a relational, client-centred approach, creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore, heal, and grow. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner strength, foster self-compassion, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and resilience.
