About Kelly Freitas Psychology
From the Director
Kelly Freitas
As a psychologist, my goal is to help individuals develop the tools and skills they need to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. I work with people from all walks of life to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and concerns.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, I’m here to support you on your journey towards healing. My approach is collaborative and holistic, and I strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment for my clients.
​
I am dedicated to improving the lives of children and adolescents through personalized, compassionate counselling services. My approach involves creating a safe and comfortable environment for the child, to make them feel supported while exploring their emotions and developing healthy coping mechanisms.
I work closely with families to ensure that children and adolescents receive the care they need to navigate life's challenges with confidence.
