| Bio: | Hi, I’m Kerry. I’m a clinical psychologist based in Wellington and Lower Hutt, New Zealand. I grew up and was trained in the United States. My fancy professional bio is on my website (retired from research, academia, and start-up life). Practically, I’m a warm, compassionate person who thinks - hard work is fun, - laughing and crying are both useful, - and our therapy/training/mentoring will include all of it: hard work, laughing, and crying. I offer clinical consultation and supervision to therapists and medical professionals. I offer publicly-funded therapy to people who have experienced trauma via ACC. I know a lot about a few things: psychology, trauma, grief, resilience, burnout, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and intentional living. More importantly, I’m on a journey just like you. I have struggled in my life, my marriage, my parenting, and in my job. I have yearned to know more, feel better, and show up steadier for the challenges of life. |
| Availability: | I have openings for therapists and medical professionals seeking clinical supervision or consultation. I am not accepting new clients for therapy. |
