About Me
Dr. Kolin Kriitmaa
BHK, MHK, MBA, EdD, RCC, CMPC
Hi, my name is Kolin, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (BCACC), Certified Mental Performance Consultant (AASP), and Professional Member of the Canadian Sport Psychology Association (CSPA), with extensive experience in health, wellness, and performance across both the sports and business worlds. My academic foundation includes a Bachelor of Human Kinetics and a Master of Human Kinetics from the University of British Columbia, an MBA from Athabasca University, and a Doctorate in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Western States.
As a former multi-sport athlete who pursued a competitive hockey career, I bring a deep, personal understanding of the demands athletes face. My professional journey has included working with Hockey Canada, coaching Junior Hockey, supporting Olympic athletes, and working with a National Hockey League Player Agency. These roles helped me recognize a vital but often overlooked component of athlete development: mental performance and wellbeing.
