Greetings! My name is Kristy McConnell (she/her) & I am the founder of Off the Beaten Path. ​I received my clinical training in counselling psychology. I began counselling adults who had successful careers but were stuck for various reasons: relationship difficulties, grief, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or postpartum depression. I went on to specialize in supporting individuals who are anxious, burned out, people pleasers—often highly functional yet overwhelmed. I began to wonder how combining therapy with walking together might benefit my clients who were already hard workers.

As a therapist, I believe that each human is unique. We all come with a collection of experiences, values, and beliefs that make up our worldview. My focus with clients is to help you achieve optimal wellness: intellectually, emotionally, and physically. Together we will explore how your thoughts contribute to your intellectual wellness. We will use our therapeutic relationship to consider your emotional wellness and how you can grow with others.
