Kyli Benadie-Chowles Clinical Psychologist Therapy and Assessment Lynnwood Glen

Kyli Benadie-Chowles – Clinical Psychologist in Lynnwood Glen

About Me

Life is a journey of constant change and self-discovery. As a clinical psychologist, I believe in the power of individuals to create and re-create their own lives, shaping their experiences and environments in meaningful ways. My approach is rooted in postmodern psychology, allowing me to meet clients exactly where they are and support them in moving forward.

I integrate a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques, ensuring that therapy is tailored to each individual’s unique needs. My training includes:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

• Narrative Therapy

• Mindfulness-Based Interventions

• Hypnosis

• Somatic Therapy

With experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, I am committed to fostering balance and well-being. My goal is not just to focus on pain or diagnosis but to help individuals live their best lives regardless of their circumstances.

In addition to therapy, I conduct psychological assessments in neuropsychological, psycho-legal (forensic), and diagnostic contexts. While therapy focuses on treatment, assessments are aimed at identifying conditions, behaviours, and challenges.
