Working with Brenda

Brenda Leifso, RPI am a licensed Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Kingston, Ontario.

A poet, philosophy lover, and constant beneficiary of the steadying power of nature, I walk the path alongside clients as a guide. Therapy is conducted from a relational perspective through RLT, existential, bibliotherapy, logotherapy, person-centered ACT, IFS, trauma, and narrative therapies alongside a smattering of CBT and DBT. I am currently completing extra training in Relational Life Therapy.

I have a special interest in working with people experiencing Complex Trauma.

As a published poet with BAs in History and English, an MA in English, and an MFA in Creative Writing, I bring a love of poetry, reading, the more-than-human world, and philosophy into the therapy room.

With over 20 years of experience as a yoga teacher, I hold specialized training in living with chronic pain, deep rest, and restorative yoga.

The mother of 3, I live in a busy household in Kingston with my spouse, kids, and 4 pets.
