Connect with Barbara Kates Counselling & Psychotherapy
Everyone suffers or gets stuck at some point in life. Are you bothered by symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, or chronic health problems? Any food and body image issues? Perhaps you find yourself repeating mistakes, frustrated with relationship or parenting issues, or unhappy with where you are headed. Maybe you can't even pinpoint the problem, but something feels "off". I'd love to hear from you. I offer a supportive compassionate space that helps you resolve or manage these concerns so you can a sense of hope and well-being. You don't have to tough it out alone.
Interpersonally, I am warm, collaborative, and respectful so our therapy bond is based on comfort and trust. If appropriate, I can use gentle humour or be somewhat playful. My strengths-based and integrative approach draws from a variety of models so we can design a plan that works for you.
As a trauma-informed clinical counsellor, I also have dietetic experience in chronic illness, self-esteem, and eating issues. I provide short or longer-term therapy that targets symptoms and/or underlying concerns by using talk therapy (i.e. cognitive, dynamic, and systemic models) as well as mind-body approaches.
