A healing space for your inner light.
My path to becoming a therapist was anything but linear. Before I was a registered psychotherapist, I spent six years teaching special education in Hong Kong and Vietnam. I loved working with kids, but after just one year, I realized teaching wasn’t quite my calling. The catch? I had no idea what was. Fast forward a few years, and I finally took the leap to follow my childhood dream of becoming a therapist, proving that my gut feeling was right all along.
And honestly, I absolutely love it. It is such a privilege to create a space where my clients can show up, be themselves, and begin to heal. As someone who’s been in therapy myself (and still am!), I know how tough it can be to sit down on that couch. So, I aim to make therapy a “comfortably uncomfortable” experience—pushing for growth while always offering support, compassion, and sometimes a bit of humour.
I also want you to know what qualifies me to be your therapist. I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto, and as a Registered Psychotherapist, I’m committed to ongoing clinical supervision with a seasoned therapist to ensure that you receive the highest quality care.
When I’m not in the therapy room, you can probably find me checking out the latest vegetarian restaurant in Toronto, planning my next travel adventure, going to a fun workout class, or binge-watching some reality TV. And of course, I love spending time with my rescue dog, Penny—teaching her new tricks (she is a true professional) and exploring the ravines and trails around the city.
Hi, I'm Kailey Citron.
Welcome to Ember Therapy on the Danforth!
ABOUT ME
My Approach
I specialize in working with women who feel disconnected from their true selves—whether that shows up as people-pleasing, perfectionism, a relentless inner critic, or feeling unfulfilled in relationships. My approach goes beyond quick fixes; it’s about getting to the root of your emotions and helping you face the discomfort of actually feeling them, because that’s where real growth happens.
If you’re struggling with certain patterns or beliefs, it can help to reflect on your upbringing and how your emotional needs were met (or not met). Many of us didn’t learn how to fully process our emotions, which can lead to avoiding uncomfortable emotions, feelings of unworthiness or a sense that our needs don't matter, prioritizing others' needs before our own, and so much more.
But here's the good news: recognizing these patterns is the first step toward healing. As you begin to reconnect with your true Self, you will find healthier and more authentic ways of relating to yourself and others. It is never too late to start living in alignment of your needs and values. In fact, I think life is too short not to do so!
Fit is so important in therapy. Let’s connect for 15 minutes, to get a feel for what it would be like to work together. I love meeting new people and would love to hear from you!
