Discover the joy, expansion and freedom of your most Intrinsic self.


Founded by Cristina Kalas, a Registered Psychologist and proponent for human-centric counselling, Intrinsic is home to a versatile team of empathetic, open and invested practitioners. Our culture is intentionally inclusive and empowers our people—including folks that are asexual, queer, trans, non-binary, Black, Indigenous, racialized and differently abled as well as those who have experienced systemic oppression or gender-based violence—to get curious and challenge convention in safe belonging.

Our Team


Our team offers individualized support that prioritizes somatic, relational and trauma-informed principles; we’re challenging the notion that thoughts, feelings and sensations are problems to be quieted. To live authentically is to align with who you are and honour it wholeheartedly - it’s a claim we live, breathe and stand behind.

The journey begins with genuine curiosity.


When we access the root of our discontent, step into our vulnerability, uncover our truth and welcome change – in connection, we begin to transform from within. With it comes the liberation, wholeness and joy of our most authentic expression and all the good that follows.
