How to Find the Right Therapist in Guelph
Most people start searching and then stall, because therapist profiles begin to sound the same after the fifth one.
Fit matters. The working relationship between you and your therapist is widely recognised as one of the most important parts of therapy, which is why the person matters as much as the credentials on the page.
Here's what's worth weighing up:
Approach: Some therapists work structurally, with tools and practice between sessions. Others work more exploratively, at the pace of the conversation. Neither is better. One will suit you more.
Speciality: A therapist who works daily with trauma brings different instincts than one who specialises in relationships, ADHD, or postpartum support.
Format: Talking is not the only way in. Music therapy and art therapy give you other routes when words feel like hard work.
Practicalities: Session times, budget, in person or online, and whether your benefits plan covers that therapist's designation.
Rather than leaving you to work that out from bios alone, we offer a free 15-minute matching consultation. You tell us what you’re looking for. We pair you with the therapist on our team best suited to it.
Our Team of Registered Therapists
Eighteen clinicians, one clinic, and a deliberately wide range of training.
Our team includes Registered Psychotherapists, Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying), a Registered Social Worker, Professional Art Therapists, and Accredited Music Therapists. Several hold more than one designation.
KS Therapy Services was founded by Kathleen Skinner, a Registered Psychotherapist and Accredited Music Therapist, who also provides clinical supervision for practitioners working toward dual credentials.
Our music therapists are trained in verbal counselling as well as music therapy. In practice that means a session can move between talking and music depending on what is working for you that day, rather than committing you to one or the other.

Why KS Therapy Services is Right for You
Is Music Therapy for you?
If you are looking to better your mental health and well-being creatively, music therapy could be a good fit!
At KSTS, we provide mental-health focused music therapy; all our music therapists are trained in verbal counselling AND music therapy. That means we can move flexibly between words and music, depending on what is going to work best for you. Sessions might not look much different than traditional counselling, involving as music or as little music as you want. There is no musical experience required to benefit.
For many people, music is already important for their well-being. By incorporating music in therapy, we harness this inherent therapeutic power in sessions. Clients often say that music can help them put words to experiences or allow them to express what they are feeling without words. It can also help you feel more comfortable with me and the therapeutic process. It is important that you feel comfortable with your therapist!
