I’m Kathryn Claessens-Patrino, a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists, committed to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with empathy and evidence-based care. My approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices, providing clients with the tools to cultivate balance, resilience, and connection. Every person’s story is unique, and I’m passionate about creating a personalized, supportive space where you can explore your experiences and build lasting change.
At Tizzy Psychology, I aim to make therapy approachable and human. I’ve chosen a name that reflects the real, sometimes messy, nature of life, and I hope that working together will help you approach overwhelming moments with greater compassion for yourself. Whether you’re managing anxiety, relationship issues, or personal growth, I strive to foster a collaborative and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to share and grow.
Clients often describe my style as warm, genuine, and direct. I focus on helping you recognize your strengths and shift towards a mindset that supports your overall well-being. Therapy can feel daunting, but my goal is to make the process feel natural and empowering, guiding you toward a life that feels more balanced and authentic.
