Kimberley Book (she/her) is a registered social worker, psychotherapist. As a Black woman with roots in Trinidad, USA, Italy, and Ireland, she is honoured to be on a team that is dedicated to supporting Black mental health in Canada.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Kimberley has had the privilege of working as a crisis counsellor, holistic practitioner, and therapist. She is passionate about mind-body approaches to healing, and specializes in supporting adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, relationship challenges, and trauma-related symptoms such as emotional overwhelm, numbness, hypervigilance, irritability, insomnia, disconnection, and shame. These symptoms often reflect how our bodies try to keep us safe, and can feel so ingrained that they seem like part of who we are.

Through a combination of balancing the nervous system and exploring factors such as family history, culture, spirituality, oppression, health, and past experiences, these symptoms and patterns can soften over time. As they do, you may start to feel lighter, more aligned, and more connected.

Her approach is collaborative, culturally-affirming, and grounded in neuroscience. In sessions, Kimberley uses mindfulness-based strategies, narrative therapy, somatic approaches, EMDR, and anti-oppressive practices to support you as you move towards your goals.
