Kate Burtis

Let's Connect (647) 694-6193

I am a nurse and psychotherapist here to help you get to know yourself better, and to find the changes you want to make in your life, whether these are changes in how you engage with the world outside, or in how you engage with your self. I bring a non-judgemental lens (really - we humans are strange) and full respect for the complex person you already are. This is not only to affirm you, but also as a foundation for helping you consider new perspectives. I enjoy working with people on all kinds of concerns; some common ones are shame, addictions, life-transitions, anxiety, and grief. You are welcome here.

I draw from a mix of therapeutic theories and aim to be flexible and responsive to what you need from our work. I often including elements of CBT, mindfulness, EFT, and narrative approaches. I am also trained in EMDR and find it can be very helpful for clients who have had troubling past experiences, including healthcare workers and first responders.

I believe that everyone deserves to pursue a satisfying life. I believe that therapy should be accessible and inclusive, meeting you where you are at. I believe that social justice and harm-reduction are absolutely foundational to good mental healthcare. Please reach out for therapy that is warm, attuned, and informed by years of education and experience.
