Kristine Savoury, LCSW
About me
My commitment to you is to provide a judgement free, safe and honest place to process your emotions, feelings and experiences.
As we navigate through life, it is not uncommon to be faced with difficulties that can be hard to get through alone. Our family and friends may not understand us, or at times they may be the ones causing or contributing to the issues, sometimes without even knowing. Help is available. As life brings us challenges, whether they be with career, interpersonal relationships, stress, anxiety, struggles regarding self-esteem and decision making, life changes and growth- it can be extremely helpful to have someone there for you to help guide you through this process.
I am committed to helping you achieve overall wellness in your life. To assist you in prioritizing your concerns and issues in a judgement free, honest and kind environment. I will provide support, insight and feedback as you process through your feelings and strive for your personal growth and clarity.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping individuals process through and overcome life's obstacles to reach their desired goals. I have been an LCSW for 7 years, spending much time working with individuals and families in crisis and transition; in making difficult life decisions, connecting them with resources and assistance in the community and supporting and encouraging them overall. I have experience working with individuals who are struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression and overall mental health, having also worked closely with those who have experienced trauma; sexual, physical and emotional and those individuals who struggle with relationship issues and motivation overall.
I have spent a lot of time in the healthcare field, so I understand the complexities of major medical problems and the issues that arise from the decision making process and life changes and transitions that go into these new or chronic issues for both individuals and families. I have worked closely with those who have experienced loss and with those who are grieving. My experience has been with treating teenagers and individuals into their 90's, and everyone in between.
My expertise surrounds family conflict, relationship issues, chronic illness and medical issues, life management including issues with motivation, self-esteem and confidence, mental health and substance abuse. My approach is solution focused, but I always meet my clients where they are... This is your journey, I am here to support, encourage and assist you in bringing insight however possible. I believe it is never too late for anyone to make positive changes in their lives and I am here to help empower you to do so!

Kristine is very understanding, and has an incredible way of reiterating and breaking down certain emotions, life changes, and struggles along with healthy ways of dealing with them. She is very interactive, and often times uses strategies to help me look at things in a different light or aspect. She is very genuine and caring, which is a great support. Overall she is amazing.
