Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in K2P

I offer a time and place where clients can slow down and connect with themselves as they explore how past patterns are affecting their current life, and move beyond the impact of unsatisfying and painful experiences. The results can be increased self-understanding, improved relationships, coping with loss, trauma, and life transitions with resiliency, and feeling empowered to make changes in one's life.

You know what to do: Worry less. Sleep more. Respond, not react. Be self-disciplined. Control your temper. Say ‘no’ more. Take better care of yourself. And you would do them too, if only your job weren’t so stressful, day-to-day life was easier, someone would help out…if only it weren’t a pandemic, you weren’t plagued by your past, you weren’t so scattered. But 'if only' never comes and the things you know you should do, don’t happen. In quiet moments, you wonder if it’ll always be like this. You want to change. You want hope. You want ease. What if I told you that the ease you seek is possible, even when life is challenging?

Sometimes life can be really hard. Every person, no matter how big or small their issues appear to be, needs to be heard and understood. I am here to guide you through life’s toughest moments, to embark on your journey together, and to support you every step of the way by listening, understanding, and appreciating your courage. Together, we can overcome emotional hurdles, achieve personal goals higher than ever imagined, and work towards a greater, deeper understanding of you. I am a wife, a mother, a sister, and a stepmother who acknowledges the beauty but also the challenges of creating a blended family.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist focusing on the treatment of low self-esteem, depression and anxiety, major life transitions including entering into parenthood, individuals struggling to find meaning and purpose in their life, grief and loss, relationship issues, shame and vulnerability and concerns related to identity formation and sexual orientation.

Welcome! I'm Dr. Kathleen Metcalfe (she/her), and I provide therapy and assessment services to individuals 16 years and older. My goal as a psychologist is to provide a safe environment to explore issues that are impacting your mood, health, and overall well-being. I approach therapy from a collaborative, integrative framework, with a trauma and relational, attachment-informed style, with attention paid to structural and systemic issues and the impact they can have on my clients. I also incorporate a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach to mental health care. I am only able to see clients who are residents of Ontario.

From time to time many of us find ourselves struggling with our thoughts, emotions, and inner experiences. This can be described as an “inner voice” which is often: worrying, judging, analyzing and criticizing. It’s the one that tells us we aren’t good enough or that we are going to fail. This voice can become overwhelming and can even seem to take control over our thoughts. If you’ve ever experienced this, you are not alone. Together we can explore how to navigate difficult thoughts and emotions. This will lead to a better understanding of who you are, and create greater harmony in your life.

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen” - Brené Brown. Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and weighed down by it all? Is your inner world often in conflict, your emotions and actions at odds with your desires, like you are in the backseat of your own life? I get it, and you are not alone. I hope you will find this a gentle place to land. As a psychotherapist, my passion is helping people navigate life's ups and downs with empathy, warmth and understanding. In our time together, you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, and my goal is to help you feel truly seen, heard & understood.

Sometimes we all need a little support and guidance to help us through challenging moments in our life.

I believe that therapy is like building a warm and safe sanctuary together. A therapeutic space is one where we can comfortably be ourselves and process our past and present lives. Drawing from my South Asian and Muslim background, I bring an integrative and culturally sensitive approach to healing, rooted in trauma-informed practices. My aim is to provide you with a safe and non-judgemental space to share your life story and work collaboratively to discover or rediscover your values and meaning in life. Picture yourself as the driver, steering your life's journey, with me as your passenger.

If you are experiencing any of these challenges, know that you don't have to go through it alone.
