Therapists in Barrie, ON

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. My name is Kate, and I am a Therapist that supports clients of all ages across the life span. Here are some of the populations I have served to give you an idea of clientele I support: children ages 5+, teens going through transitions, women and men with past trauma, men with schizophrenia and past addictions, perinatal support and parent coaching, and caregivers of loved ones with complex health issues. My overarching goal when working with clients is frequently to reduce the overwhelm they experience in their lives and promote feelings of calm and control.

Hi there! I'm glad you have taken the step to self improvement through therapy. I work with clients ages 7+ and specialize in challenges including parenting, familial conflict, intimate partner relationships, addiction, depression, anxiety, stress management, trauma, coping skills, couples therapy and more. As a Registered Social Worker, I strive to walk alongside my clients and act as a guide in the journey to successful life outcomes. I never underestimate the power of humour and believe that self-driven goal setting in a safe and non-judgmental environment is key to creating change.

Life can present challenges for all of us. Most people will experience some form of depression or anxiety at some point in their life. The support of an empathetic, non-judgmental counsellor can help us to create a plan to move forward when we feel ‘stuck’. If you are experiencing sadness, stress, or worry, I can provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to identify the goals that are most important to you, and support you in reaching those goals.

I worked for 17 years providing community based therapy/counselling as an Addictions Therapist with a premier mental health and addictions hospital.

I offer personalized and confidential services with a non-judgemental, empathic, and supportive approach. Along with Addiction based services for individuals and their family members, I have worked extensively with parent-teen and family based conflict, relationships, domestic violence, trauma, anger management and conflict resolution, mental health (eg. anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, stress, suicide) as well as school refusal and peer difficulties.

I've been accompanying people through difficult times and life challenges; depression, addiction, relationship issues, grief and more for many years. My conversations with you can help you discover the healing power, resilience, creativity and deep peace you've been longing for. My private practice "Tapping Your Inner Resources"; can help you release your deep wisdom to empower your healing and strengthen your relationships. Even depression, or 'bottoming out' in addiction can help to point us in the direction of deep mental, physical and spiritual healing.

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

When a transgender youth comes out to their family, the whole family experiences a transition. For youth, family acceptance, celebration and support are integral to feeling safe, secure, and authentically themselves at home. For parents, their child coming out as transgender means learning to reimagine a new future and gender for their child. Reimagining a child’s future can feel scary when first learning that your child is trans- parents and caregivers often worry if their child will be misunderstood or be the victim of transphobia or violence. These worries can make envisioning a future worth celebrating feel difficult for parents
