Peacemaker Counselling Practice

Client-Centered

Therapy for Individuals, Families and Couples

Empathetic, Non-Judgmental, Genuine, Collaborative, Empowering

Thanks for taking time to consider therapy.

Whether you are an individual navigating personal challenges or a couple feeling distant, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to process life’s challenges, find hope, and experience lasting change.

In my previous and current roles as a husband, father, pastor, and now clinical therapist, I have experienced that our mental health deeply depends upon the health of our relationships—including the relationship with ourselves. Finding a bedrock of secure attachment to stand tall in difficult times can seem elusive, but it’s not impossible.

You will find me to be a warm, collaborative, and client-centered therapist. My practice is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment Theory, serving as a lens through which I see the potential for human thriving.

When I’m not in the office helping clients create secure connections, I am likely spending time with my wife and family, or riding my fat bike through the winter snow or along the shores of Sylvan Lake. —If you’re ready to break through feeling stuck, reach out for a free consultation!

What clients have said about Kevin

As a survivor of an abusive relationship and struggling with family relationships, Kevin’s wholesome approach , attentive listening and mental exercises made me feel heard and secure . He even went beyond our sessions to research relationship theories that for me put the puzzles pieces together to begin my healing journey!

Throughout the past 8 to 10 years I’ve been in many counselling programs and I have been through many therapist from all over Canada. And if I’m being completely honest, I have never felt as seen and heard as I did communicating with Kevin.

He used a method that really helped me learn to be more gentle and more understanding and compassionate with myself, especially when I’m going through hard times. I have never seen that approach before, but I am so thankful that he taught it to me because it’s something that I use daily now.

Working with Kevin Ratzlaff during a critical stage of my trauma recovery has been
life-changing. He is patient, approachable, and deeply experienced, creating a safe space
where I felt comfortable and understood.

I especially appreciated his thoughtful guidance, attention to detail, and willingness to
consult colleagues when needed, always with my consent.

His guidance, care, and faith-inspired perspective made a profound difference in my healing journey
