Existential Therapists in Oakville, ON

Hello, my name is Katie (she/her), and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Registered Kinesiologist who strives to support your overall well-being holistically. I will meet you where you are. Through collaboration, I will support you in identifying and attaining your goals and cultivating the life you want. I am committed to holding compassionate, non-judgemental space for you while offering a flexible, accessible, individualized therapeutic experience.

I offer Heart-Centered & Compassion-Focused Psychotherapy. Are you being held back from fulfilling your purpose or true potential? Are past traumas or life stressors impacting you mentally, emotionally or physically? Are your relationships suffering because you’re not able to be fully present in the moment? I believe that every single one of us has a profound contribution to share with the world. My greatest passion is helping people find their individual expression, inner strength & abundant joy.

Facing challenges with self-esteem, confidence, anxiety, or relationships? Let's have a chat. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I specialize in guiding adults, both elder and younger, through these hurdles and more, including those navigating the aftermath of narcissistic abuse. In my practice, I'm particularly drawn to a merging of Psycho-Spiritual within therapy, where we unravel inner narratives and barriers, paving the way for profound self-understanding and growth. Together, we'll reflect on the commitment of responsibility towards self-understanding that we can no longer do without.

We have a team of passionate therapists here to help you. We will match you with the right therapist for you depending on your unique story and wants. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, transitions (childhood to young adult, career, parenthood, separation etc), dealing with addiction/recovery, diagnosis, or loss/grief... life keeps us guessing. We are here to listen, help you slow it all down, and figure out a plan together.

Life is a journey filled with transitions, challenges, and moments of self-discovery. You may be experiencing a career change, grief, a relationship shift, or personal evolution. You may be struggling to navigate stress, burnout, or anxiety, wanting to create and maintain boundaries, or wanting to start the process of healing from the experiences of your past. You may be wanting personalized and empathetic guidance in exploring these unique experiences and transformative phases. Regardless of why you have found yourself seeking support, I am glad you have

Are you open to self-exploration and growth, are you seeking support with navigating life's challenges or are you looking for a way to live your life more fully? At Bliss, we specialize in improving the relationship our clients have with themselves and others. We're here to unpack addiction or substance use, anxiety, communication, conflict, depression, grief, life changes, parenting and caregiving, sexual desires and intimacy, stress, trauma, and more. Using anti-oppressive, community driven and evidence-based approaches, you will learn new perspectives, build deeper connections, and find the motivation to embrace change.

As a culturally responsive & trauma-informed clinician, I am dedicated to reducing the stigma around mental health and improving access to support. I believe that feeling 'Safe and Connected' is essential at the core of our existence and relationships. When we are neglected or ignored, it can lead to vulnerable emotions such as guilt/shame, sadness, loneliness, and anger. Bottling up these emotions not only strain our belief system but leads to feelings of disconnect from ourselves, others, and society. Sue Monk Kidd once said, "Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we are here."

No Cost 30 Minute Consultations. Does life feel harder than it used to? Do you feel like for every step taken forward, two more are taken backward? Do you know where you want to be but just don’t know how to get there? Often the challenges in life feel like being lost in a dense forest, with no clear path out. My role is to be your map. Working together, we will find the right path for you. Along your journey, I will walk with you as your find your way out of the forest, and into the sun.

Do you struggle with finding your next step or worry that the plans you made are out of reach? You want to appear confident and joyful, but deep down you are struggling with stress, and wrestling with fatigue. You might not remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to let go of guilt, self-doubt, and fear. Most of all, you want to live purposefully in the present.

Are you grappling with overwhelming stress, sudden mood swings, or a sense of helplessness in your interpersonal relationships? Do chronic illnesses and pain leave you or your loved ones feeling exhausted and disheartened? As a new immigrant or international student, is life and study in Canada causing confusion and loneliness? Faced with medical diagnoses for family members or children, do you feel bewildered and weighed down? You are not alone. Many of my clients have encountered similar challenges.

Underlying our innermost desires is the need for freedom and courage to be our authentic selves, to bring our gifts and talents forward into the world, and to find belonging with others who love and support our true selves. My goal is to provide you with support and guidance as you journey towards actualizing this life vision. As we explore your unique experiences and the meaning you (and others!) have attributed to them - lending itself to the creation of your worldview, sense of self, and how you understand others - we will cultivate a deepened understanding of the areas of potential for growth and change unique to you.

Life is an ever continual journey of growth, learning from past experiences, and (re)creating a sense of ourselves. Individuals may experience feeling weighed down by emotions, uncertainty of how to move forward in life after a traumatic event, or struggle with relationships. Regardless, if you know what concerns you would like to discuss or require a safe space to explore and gain clarity, your journey will be supported with care and compassion. I will help guide you through your lived experiences, thoughts, and emotions. My hope is to empower you to transform your concerns into self-awareness, vitality, and sustainable change.

Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me and the care I provide. I am a registered psychotherapist providing therapy for people living in Ontario, Canada.

I work with people struggling with a range of issues including clinical Anxiety, Depression, Low Self esteem, Addiction, Grief & Loss, and more complex issues such as, OCD, Eating Disorders, Complicated Grief, PTSD, and more. Yes, recovery involves mental & emotional processing and integration. However, the deepest healing involves more.

"I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story." I have dedicated my life to build a practice where people can come to a place of peace, where you feel comfortable and safe to unburden yourself about the most intimate and personal aspects of your life without the fear of being judged or shamed. This process allows you to shed the layers that keep you going in the same cycles and help you start a new and more fulfilling chapter in your life. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

Unresolved trauma, attachment injury, and old emotional wounds from the past create a fractured foundation. They affect our sense of self, make us feel empty inside, and lead us to believe that there is something terribly wrong with us. However, some symptoms that we experience as adults, such as excessive self-blame, addictive behaviours, anxiety, depression, a constant need to please others, sensitivity to rejection, and being easily overwhelmed, are caused by what failed to happen for us in childhood. Let me help you explore the part of you that was hurt and still carries the trauma and suffering.
