Philosophy & Vision
At In Bloom Psychology private practice, Katherine Bonaldi (Clinical Psychologist) and Tim Bonaldi (Psychologist) provide a trauma and neurodiverse sensitive service to adults 18 years old and over. We are also Board Approved Supervisors for psychologists. We are located in person at the peaceful Abbotsford Convent or via telehealth. We are compassionate and collaborative in our approach. We enjoy working with people of all walks of life.
We aim to help support people to grow to reach their full potential. We hope to cultivate a nurturing environment to allow people to flourish rather than just get by. We believe it is never too early or late to recover.
The desire to recover, in combination with insight, skills and support can help anyone bloom. We believe there is no “one size fits all model” of client care, and we take pride in our ability to tailor services that meet the needs of the individual.
