Experience counseling in a unique way.

"Often it is the deepest pain which empowers you to grow into your highest self"

-K Salmonsohn

Our mental health is important but, with busy and stressful lives it could be hard for us to take a timeout and focus on our mental health. I offer a unique opportunity to experience counseling either in person or from the comfort of your own home by connecting via online video chat.
*Please note: due to the current pandemic all sessions will be held online via Google Hangouts.

You choose what you are comfortable with. Whether you want to meet face to face or, feel more comfortable behind a screen. Whether you want to work individually or with someone else. Whether you want to focus on one specific problem or, see where the journey takes you. No problem is too big or too small for counseling. You are the priority, you matter. 

The great benefit of online counseling is that location does not matter, no matter where in the world you are I will work with you despite the distance and time difference. 

CLIENT TESTIMONIES

"I first got to know about Katie's practice through a friend as I was going through an emotionally abusive relationship. I honestly never thought that a relationship like that could leave lingering feelings of anxiety and guilt and it was very helpful to talk it through with Katie. She has always been very patient and has reassured me that none of [my] feelings and doubts were trivial. There were times where I also struggled to express what I was feeling but Katie managed to understand and help verbalize it for me. We talked about the red flags of an abusive relationship and made a list to remind myself of warning signs to look out for in future relationships. I've also become more aware of my feelings and question where my anxiety comes from so that I can talk it out and solve it. Katie also did regular check ups making sure I was okay in the times where I didn't schedule a session. I made fast progress 3 months after the break up with her help and am getting rid of unnecessary guilt, shame and anxiety to live my best life. I most definitely recommend her!"
-Female Client, age 23. 

"I really enjoyed my sessions with Katie, as she helped me realize where my worries and problems were coming from in such a natural manner, by using questions and exercises that helped me better understand and accept myself. In addition, she is such a great counselor because she does not just listen and give advice, but gives you something to reflect upon. Katie helped me look at the bright side of things, helped me appreciate myself and see the good in myself, for which I am truly grateful to this day, as I still practice what she taught me to. Overall, I highly recommend Katie as a counselor and as a person to trust in doing her best to help, listen and guide a person into self-growth and acceptance.”
–Female Client, age 22.

“Katie has helped me to get over a traumatic marriage break up. She was able to uncover issues I had buried deep and helped me to regain my self-esteem and confidence. I felt that we had a very good relationship and I found it easy to confide in her. I think this is quite an achievement when dealing with a person with serious trust issues.”
–Female Client, age 59.

“Over the years I’ve seen many therapists and shrinks of all sorts, but the only ones whose techniques helped were the ones who demonstrated their commitment to my recovery through doing more than giving advice. Katie did that by actually taking the time to perform the first practical step for me in whatever specific endeavor we had earlier come to conclude the potential benefit thereof. Hence, that motivated me to take the next steps, as the momentum was gained thanks to her initiative. Almost every time I met her, she had taken the time to look up a website or do a task that we had said I must do. She did that without judgment on my lack of action since I had last seen her, and that made it much easier to spontaneously stimulate much needed healthy patterns of behavior in me.”
–Male Client, age 25. 

“I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that Katie is doing a really good job. I’m glad I decided to work with Katie. It’s really great how easy and accessible Katie's consulting went. I actually enjoyed the sessions.  I got very understandable hands-on materials to work with and this helped to enhance my consciousness about my personal issue. What I also appreciate is the quick response on questions through e-mails, that really helped. Thanks! ”
–Male Client, age 45.

 
“Katie was excellent in our sessions (my first time with therapy) – she was very empathetic and patient throughout our long-distance counselling via Skype. After our 16 weeks of working together, I gained a wider perspective of issues that I was grappling with (mostly as a result of childhood PTSD), which helped me work through my feelings and emotions. I emerged at the end feeling a huge weight off my shoulders; like a big step towards a new journey. I'm now feeling I'm at a much better place in my life compared to I was before I started counselling. I most definitely recommend Katie!”
–Female Client, age 33.

​“I could not have asked for a better introduction to therapy than I got from Katie. Her empathy and ability to adapt her approach to me based on my needs during any session were invaluable in making me comfortable enough to discuss issues that had plagued every facet of my life. She was incredibly non-judgmental, and our conversations always left me with enough calm and clarity to make realizations about myself and my problems. She gave me the tools I needed to overcome things I had assumed I would simply need to live with for life. She has been excellent for both my confidence, in myself and in my ability to continue making leaps and bounds on issues that had previously terrified me.”
-Female Client, age 28.
