Life can be hard sometimes and we all find ourselves needing a little support in those difficult moments. Reaching out is often the hardest part of the process. Tacit Knowledge can help - we offer individual and couples counselling to teens and to adults. All of our services are available in-person and online - and are available to everyone, all across Canada. I am Kim Silverthorn BA, RPC, MPCC, CT - I am the owner and primary therapist at Tacit, and my office is located in Beaumont.
I offer a variety of traditional and holistic counselling supports for adults and for teens/youth. I provide an empathetic and confidential atmosphere in my counselling office, as I assist individuals, couples and family’s in addressing some of the more emotionally difficult issues in their lives.
I also provide Professional Development Training to various agencies and organizations, helping staff enhance the skills they use in their own workplaces on a daily basis. And I provide excellent community based programming/courses for those in the general public who may not yet be able to access the training that I offer, through their places of employment.
I believe in providing my clients with the support they need on an individual basis - as part of your family - and/or with your bigger work team. I get to know you by first understanding the challenges you are facing from your perspective – and I help you come from a place of confidence and strength as you overcome those challenges in a successful and healthy way.
Our clinic centres intersectional 2SLGBTQIA+ mental health and wellness. We are a collective of queer-identified counsellors providing queer and gender affirming therapy to individuals, couples & partners, and families. We are also a neurodivergent team, and offer specialized support around Autism and ADHD. We have a diverse team with a variety of lived/living experiences and professional qualifications to support you along your journey.
It is my life experience that is my greatest asset; I have divorced, found a wonderful life partner, raised 2 children and 2 stepchildren, and went back to school at 50 to start a new career. Although I know our past shapes us, I really like to focus on the present and how to work together to address your issues, set goals and work at reaching them together. Some of this may require the difficult work of looking back, but always with the focus of moving forward.
Offering you a healing space with intelligence and heart. I bring over 30 years of experience working with individuals and groups to you as a counsellor, coach, and family constellations facilitator. My style is warm and empathic, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ friendly, poly-amory friendly, and spiritually aware. I bring a range of modalities to be able to tailor the approach that is right for you.
