About Kate:
Hi, I’m Kate!
I’ve worked in the mental health field for over 20 years, initially supporting a little boy with significant behaviour and emotional needs in my hometown of Toronto.
I moved to Calgary in 2006 to work with young children on the autism spectrum, and with other neurodevelopmental challenges. I then went to school to become a teacher and briefly worked in special education before taking on a management role with a large mental health organization, working in programs for children and youth with severe social/emotional and behavioural challenges.
I have pursued the following education:
Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)
Bachelor of Education
Addiction Careworker Diploma
Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
My psychology registration hours were completed in educational/school psychology where I worked with children with significant neurodevelopmental disabilities, through intervention and formal assessments.
I have also worked in residential settings, in-home, walk-in mental health, and private practice. I have worked in collaboration with police, social workers, schools, correctional centres, and Child and Family Services.
I work with a variety of people. This includes:
Adolescents and individuals for counselling
Individuals, couples and families
ADHD and mental health assessment
Psychoeducational, ADHD, social/emotional/behavioural assessment for children
Parent coaching/consultation for challenges with children
I am also trained in providing Autism Spectrum Disorder assessments and will be looking to bring this into my practice in the future.
I have a passion for working in the following areas:
OCD
Adolescents
Self-harm and suicidal ideation
Personality disorders
I have a holistic doula certification and have training in working with moms in the prenatal and postpartum period. I have also provided supervision to provisional psychologists.
My approach includes working from the following perspectives:
Holistic approach
Attached based
Trauma informed
Strength based
I incorporate aspects of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), narrative therapy, and solution focused therapy.
As I incorporate and transition to clients in Victoria, I’m looking forward to hearing your story and working together!
