Over the past few sessions she has been amazing. I haven't felt understood in years it seems like, but she actually listens and gives really good guidance. It also doesn't seem like she is just agreeing with everything I'm talking about which I really appreciate. She tells me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear which I really do appreciate from her. 10/10 easily.

Kerline has helped me with my unrealistic expectations with my dad, which is a pain I’ve been dealing with. She also helped me with my mission statement through her very well made materials. I enjoyed talking with her and she understood me. She is patient and most of all full of wisdom. Thank you so much Kerline.

Kerline is attentive, thoughtful & patient. She focusses on my life & whatever's happening in it but does so through the lens of research, psych & therapeutic tools as well her own lived experience - which - (and I appreciate this part) - isn't a complete black box. Her insights lead to epiphanies. Her thoughts can help me crystallize the clarity I am seeking. Her active listening helps me understand myself. Her nudges can end my ruminations.

Kerline is an excellent therapist. During my time of struggling through university, as well as mourning the loss of my mother she provided the best advice when it came to overcoming obstacles and how to let myself mourn. She understood my struggle through post secondary as she has gone through school herself and gave me lots of good tips on how to keep myself on track and get myself to understand difficult concepts. She really cares about her patients/clients and I would highly recommend her to anyone who feels they need someone to talk to. If you have bigger issues or smaller issues than myself I would suggest you talk to Kerline.

Written on May 12, 2022 after therapy with Kerline for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes
Kerline has helped me tremendously. She has worked with me for over a year, and I am so much stronger now. When she first started working with me, my life felt unmanageable. I had severe abandonment issues and every small inconsistency in my romantic relationship caused me to feel out of control and full of anxiety. After a year of working with Kerline, I feel in control of my life and my emotions. When there is an upset in my relationship, I am able to go on with my day and be productive. She has helped me to face reality and understand that I always have choices. She is friendly, kind, and extremely patient.
Thank you so much Kerline!

It’s been a pleasure working with Kerline. She listens and helps me work through my thoughts to see a clearer path especially when I’m unable to put a finger exactly on what I’m feeling and why I’m feeling how I feel. She’s very open and easy to talk through and you almost feel like you’re conversing with an old friend

Therapy has helped me evolve from the darkened soul I was into a resilient brightness I once felt on myself. Keeling Alexis has helped guide my journey to identifying my weaknesses in mental thinking and has helped create new and positive pathways within my mind.
I’m very pleased with the support and guidance she has offered and believe that her expertise and behavioural training are the reasons I once again can find joy and resolution within my own mind

Counselling with Kerline has provided me a safe place to talk about and work through anything I'm going through and struggling with. It has been a number of months now and it has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself. From our first session Kerline has been warm, kind, personable and understanding. The way I think has changed for the better , which honestly has started to change my life and my relationships. I have more awareness of my thoughts and feelings and I've learnt how to choose better thoughts and think more positively.
I've chosen faith based counselling; Kerline has so much knowledge of Scriptures which has also helped me on my journey.
I highly recommend her :)

Kerline has been an amazing support. She is open to any conversation and makes you feel like you've been friends for ages. I felt really comfortable sharing all my thoughts with her. I strongly recommend Kerline as there was not topic/issue she didn't help me with. Most of all, she is very compassionate but also very straightforward and knows how to put people in a better place. After every session, I felt better and more positive.

Ms. Kerline has been such a blessing to me. She makes it a point to fully hear and understand my thoughts/feelings, provides practical improvement strategies and activities after each session, and I'm most grateful for her knowledge and implementation of scripture, as I've chosen Christian-based therapy.

Kerline is a very patient and thoughtful person who I would highly recommend to anyone seeking therapy. In the beginning I was very afraid and almost gave up, however Kerline diligently checked up on me whilst proving words of wisdom and encouragement. I found this to be very motivating and caring on my behalf. Kerline listened attentively, sharing a lot of insight, which allowed me to begin to look at my situation from different perspectives. In addition, after each session, Kerline set me exercises which were tremendously helpful, reminding me what we had covered in the session and also an activity to work on so I could progress forward. Many thanks to Kerline for her wealth of knowledge, wisdom and kindness. Andrew O.

I've only had two sessions with Kerline and already feel is is valuable, as she provides a non-judgemental space where I can talk freely. She gives me weekly 'homework' that is thought provoking and helps me when I have negative moments in my thoughts. She is providing me with tools to cope better with situations that will only improve my relationships in the future.
