Kyneeshaw Brightley - Registered Provisional Psychologist

Rated 0 out of 5

I am a Provisional Psychologist working with clients in Edmonton. My current clients note that they continue to choose therapy with me because they feel understood while also being gently challenged to grow. They’ve mentioned that I bring warmth, humour, and relatability to each session. I help them make sense of the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, identify patterns that may be holding them back, and develop new ways of responding. Together, we work at a pace that feels manageable, recognizing that even small steps can move you closer to the life you want.
I use several evidence-based approaches to support youth and adults with anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, grief, and relationship concerns. Additionally, I specialize in offering a safe, confidential, and inclusive space to explore concerns related to identity, race, gender, sexuality, and non-conventional romantic relationships.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re not sure where to begin. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. If you’re wondering whether therapy could help, I’d be happy to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Rational-Emotive/ Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) - helps you understand how your beliefs about yourself, others, and the world shape how you feel and respond to life’s challenges. Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) - helps you build on your existing strengths, honour your lived experiences, and identify practical steps toward the life you want, while making space for the cultural, systemic, and everyday challenges you navigate as a Black person in Edmonton. Internal Family Systems (IFS) - helps you understand the different parts of yourself shaped by your lived experiences, relationships, and the pressures of navigating the world as a Black person, so you can approach yourself with compassion, heal from what you’ve carried, and feel more grounded in who you are. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) - helps you navigate life’s pressures, manage intense emotions, set healthy boundaries, and build practical skills to protect your peace while staying true to yourself and your values. Mindfulness - helps create space to pause, reconnect with yourself, and respond to life’s pressures with intention rather than letting stress, expectations, or the weight of the world dictate how you feel and move through your day.
