Adults Therapists in Newmarket, ON

My primary focus is working with Highly Sensitive People (HSP) as well as those who suffer with anxiety and/or depression.

Welcome! I'm Katie :) I am compassionate, attentive, and hopeful for change as I journey with clients towards reaching their counselling goals. .I understand clients are approaching me with difficcult and personal issues. I am passionate about empowering clients to face their mental health challenges so they can realize the hope that exists for them to live a fuller life. I also recognize the need to support, equip, and educate members of the community ( family members, friends, colleagues etc.) of those living with difficult mental health trials.

We all face hurdles in life, and I believe individuals possess an inner wisdom that can help overcome these obstacles. I strive to create a setting where therapy can be fun and empowering as we work together to discover this inner wisdom. My goal is to foster a judgement free environment, enhancing opportunities to reflect, be heard, and develop skills to achieve confidence extending beyond the therapeutic setting. I believe our body gives us cues that as we learn to tune into can encourage us to understand, process and cope with our emotions - this can support one to navigate both concerns and resources with a renewed capacity.

It's understandable to feel stressed out or shut down when life is hard; situations difficult and relationships confusing. We usually cannot control our outside experiences, at times making it hard to cope. I work with people who want to enhance their ability to respond to life’s challenges with greater ease, confidence, and knowing. I support individuals to overcome feelings of anxiety and depression, difficult situations, relationship challenges, self harm and trauma. I will gently guide you through a process of discussion and reflection to promote understanding and awareness as you develop skills to foster change.

With 20 years in the field and a columnist with Metroland News and Newmarket Today, I work with children, adults , couples and families, supporting their mental health. Difficult experiences both past and present can anchor us, keeping us trapped in a space of anxiety, depression, anger and hurt. These emotions can be exhausting and overwhelming. As a therapist, I envision my role as the support to guide you toward making a shift in healing. We do not need to stay in our past, in our traumas and in our pain. We can move forward and thrive; we deserve to do so.
