Kara Kalin

Shift Change Founder & Leader in Mental Health | Registered Clinical Counsellor, EMDR Certified 

A Registered Clinical Counsellor (BCACC), a Certified EMDR Therapist (EMDRIA), and a Mental Performance Specialist, Kara is well-respected for her extensive work integrating mental health support with high performance.

With her roots as a national-level athlete and a coach for the Canadian National Team, Kara has spent over two decades at the intersection of mental resilience and peak performance.

Kara's distinctive approach combines her deep understanding of mental fortitude with the transformative power of EMDR therapy. Her extensive training and experience in EMDR have not only solidified her reputation as a leader in mental wellness but also fueled her commitment to expanding its reach beyond traditional therapy settings.

Having successfully supported countless individuals in high-stress roles, Kara recognized the need for a faster, more accessible way to help people recover from stress and trauma. She created Shift Change to provide immediate, effective mental health support—so people can process, reset, and move forward without carrying the weight of their experiences alone.
