Charlene Blanchard
MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist
I’m Charlene, and I’ve been part of the Kiru Psychotherapy Clinic team since 2018. Therapy, to me, isn’t about sitting quietly and nodding. It’s about rolling up our sleeves and actively working toward the changes you want to see, and I bring energy and a healthy dose of optimism to that work.
I’m currently completing my doctorate, so my caseload is closed to new clients for now. When I’m not at the clinic, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book and a strong cup of tea, working on a creative project, or spending time outdoors with my husband, our two cats, and the people I love.
If you’d like to work with another member of our team in the meantime, book a free 15-minute consultation and we’ll help match you with the right fit.
