Why Choose an EMDRIA Certified Therapist™?
As a client, you deserve to feel safe, supported, and confident in your therapy. Being EMDRIA Certified means I've gone beyond the basics - seeking advanced training, expert guidance and feedback, and continued education specifically in Attachment Focused EMDR - to provide you with the highest level of care.
For you, this means working with someone who is committed to growth, guided by ethical standards, and dedicated to using EMDR therapy in ways that are both effective and compassionate.
Certification is more than a credential. It's a reflection of commitment to you.

Kesla Forsythe, Registered Psychotherapist
For the past 15 years, I have worked and volunteered in a wide range of health care settings, from hospitals and community health organizations to harm reduction programs, overdose prevention sites, private clinics, and rehabilitation centres. These experiences have taught me that healing does not look the same for everyone, and that every person deserves care honouring their unique story.
I hold a Master of Education in Counselling & Psychotherapy from the University of Toronto (OISE), a Diploma in Mental Health & Addictions with Honours from Humber College, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Toronto Metropolitan University. I have also completed specialized clinical training, including the Intensive Sex Therapy Program at the University of Guelph. I am trained in Internal Family Systems through the IFS Institute, am a EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ and DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting) Level 1 Practitioner.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I believe you already carry inner resources, and therapy is where those strengths can be rediscovered and nurtured.
Safety and inclusivity is important to me. Your unfiltered self can feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether you are navigating trauma, relationship challenges, sexual dysfunction, mental health concerns, or life transitions, my goal is to walk alongside you with care and curiosity.
