Kaylee Banky-Sword
My name is Kaylee, and I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I work collaboratively with individuals and couples to explore the patterns that keep showing up in their lives and relationships. Together, we gently make connections between early experiences and present-day challenges, helping to untangle old cycles, process emotional pain, and create space for a stronger sense of identity, clarity, and direction.
My approach is integrative, drawing from CBT, mindfulness, relational and attachment-based perspectives, and is always trauma-informed and attentive to the nervous system. Our work is not about “fixing” you, but about understanding you, and creating meaningful, lasting change that aligns with your values and the life you want to build.
If something here resonates, you’re welcome to reach out. We can start with a conversation and see what support might look like for you.

Marissa Scott
Hi, I’m Marissa! I am a registered provisional psychologist here at Wholesome Psychology.
At times, life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to begin. I believe these moments of difficulty can also be moments of meaningful growth, and I feel honored to walk alongside those who choose to share their stories with me.
I support clients with a wide range of concerns, with particular interest in relationship issues (including couples and other interpersonal relationships), trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, depression, and personal and/or career growth. I am trained in the Gottman Method for relationship work and in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach for healing from trauma.
In my practice, I draw from cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused, and person-centred approaches, tailoring each session to the unique needs of the individual. I strive to create a relaxed, collaborative space where creativity, humour, and reflection can support meaningful change. For clients who wish to incorporate spirituality into their healing, I am comfortable integrating that dimension as well.
