Karen McCafferty MSW RSW. We all have times in our lives when we need someone to talk to and help work through issues. I support men and women of all ages. For over a decade I have worked with adults & adolescents utilizing CBT for adult ADHD, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship/interpersonal issues and overcoming loss by identifying triggers, supporting client strengths & building realistic coping skills. I offer life coaching and I enjoy helping people explore new education & career paths to meet their goals. I offer in person in St Catharines, and virtual sessions for anyone in Ontario.
Sometimes we just need a change in our life path, let’s talk. I understand the struggles we all can face, having experienced anxiety and reestablishment myself. Free 10-15 min consults available via phone/FaceTime/teams to ensure I’m a good fit for you. I have experience in brain injury rehabilitation, and group therapy with teens & young adults.
I hold a Masters in Social Work from the University of Waterloo, a Bachelor of Social Work from Dalhousie University, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Certification from the University of Toronto & Critical Injury Stress Management certification from the U Maryland. In my spare time I coach high school rowing & volunteer doing dog therapy at a LTC home every week

I often use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with my clients as it allows you to see how your thoughts can affect your emotions & experiences. In your first session we will talk about your strengths and decide the most realistic & appropriate way to help you move forward. Every client has different needs and has a unique path. This is a relaxed environment & I have used CBT personally.
