Kyle McBride
Kyle McBride is a Clinical Psychology Resident at OICBT. Kyle takes a person-centered approach with his clients, addressing the individual needs of his clients by tailoring various research-based therapy strategies. He has experience with a variety of problems relating to anxiety, mood, PTSD, OCD, BPD, in addition to non-diagnosed problems (e.g., grief, stress, interpersonal problems etc.…). His primary therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavioural, with flexibility that regularly involves humanistic and dialectical themes. Kyle’s approach does not require you to have a clear idea of exactly what you need or an explicit diagnosis. He is able to work with you collaboratively to determine what therapy approach works best for your unique situation.
