Justis Krar (BMus, MTA) is a Certified Music Therapist and professional musician. After completing an internship with a multi-disciplinary team at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability in London, United Kingdom, he returned to Canada and began working with clients in one-on-one and group settings.

I am a dedicated psychotherapist working with children, teens, and parents to help foster well-being, healing, and positive growth. I employ a variety of modalities and therapeutic techniques, including play therapy, CBT, narrative therapy and family systems, to effectively meet the unique needs of my clients. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, ensuring that I create a safe and supportive environment for all to express themselves and work through their challenges. In my practice, I engage children and teens through play and creative methods, helping them explore their thoughts and feelings in a comfortable and safe way. This trauma-informed approach empowers them to share their experiences, build confidence, and develop their own solutions. I recognize that each individual's journey is unique, so I tailor my techniques to the specific needs of each child and teen while involving their parents to foster collaboration. I also provide valuable resources and support for parents, helping them understand their child's emotions and behaviours in the context of trauma. By promoting open communication and teamwork, we work together to create a nurturing environment that encourages healing and growth. My holistic approach equips families with the tools they need to thrive, building resilience and confidence as they navigate their personal development journeys together.
