Kristen Chambers provides supervised and therapeutic parenting time sessions, as well as in-home or virtual child, family and parenting support sessions. She has a degree in Early Childhood Development, and is a mother of two teenagers. She has created a lifetime career of supporting families to heal, feel heard, and to find joy. This passion has stemmed from her own life experiences, and her firm belief in the good in people and the restorative power of human connection. Kristen has worked with families for over 25 years in child development, family crisis, parenting support, counselling, and coaching. She has worked in the fields of maternal and post-natal care, child abuse, parent-child conflict, child behaviours, parenting conflict, separation and divorce, domestic violence, teen online safety and human trafficking. Kristen believes in people’s ability to create change for themselves, and to find the answers, and her role is simply to support you in doing so. She works with family members from a non-judgemental, trauma-informed, strength-based, family centred approach. Kristen is thrilled to begin helping you and your family find joy!
