Meet Kristy

---

Born and raised in Thunder Bay, Kristy Martyn has dedicated over 25 years supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges working as a Social Service Worker, specializing in Mental Health & Addictions. Through many years of frontline work, she developed a deep appreciation for the importance of compassionate, supportive spaces where people can talk openly and feel heard and validated. That experience inspired the creation of NorthShore Wellness - Counselling & Support Services, offering an additional community resource where individuals can reflect, gain clarity, and take meaningful steps forward.

Kristy’s career spans mental health and addictions support, crisis response, trauma-informed care, and mediation. She has worked closely with people navigating life transitions, personal hardships, and unexpected crises, offering practical guidance with empathy and respect for each person’s unique journey.

Kristy is an approved support service provider with Thunder Bay and Area Victim Services (TBAVS) through the Victim Quick Response Program+ (VQRP+), assisting individuals and families affected by sudden or traumatic events.

At NorthShore Wellness, Kristy offers non-clinical counselling and supportive guidance in a calm, client-centered, strengths-focused environment. Clients can explore challenges, gain perspective, and develop practical next steps. She also assists with community service navigation, referrals, and connecting clients with programs that align with their goals.

NorthShore Wellness offers a professional, non-judgmental space for those seeking support, reflection, and direction. Whether someone is feeling stuck, navigating change, or simply in need of someone to listen, Kristy provides compassionate guidance to help clients move forward with confidence.
