A Little About Me
Hello, my name is Kristan Graham-Seymour. I am a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist in Waterloo, Ontario, with over 25 years of experience in social work and have been in private practice for over 10 years. My time spent in the mental health field has brought me vast experience working with adults with mental health issues, behaviourally-challenged children, at-risk youth, dual diagnosis individuals and developmentally disabled individuals. I am also very dedicated to educating the community about mental health issues and increasing awareness among hospital staff, teachers, organizations, business management, insurance companies and family members of those living with mental health concerns. It takes a village… I have an Honours BA in Psychology from the University of Waterloo and a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University. As a fully trained Dialectical Behaviour Therapist, I currently provide private DBT skills training groups for individuals with emotional dysregulation issues and their families. This training involves the understanding and practice of Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation and Distress Tolerance. As well as teaching others, I make a personal effort to use the techniques everyday – embracing the opportunity to interact effectively with others in each present moment. My goal is to help the people I meet to find their own potential for Wise Mind and, as a result, live “A Life Worth Living”.
