Katie McKie, BA, MACP, RP(Qualifying)

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I approach therapy with a holistic and collaborative mindset. Choosing therapy may not always feel easy, but I am here to meet you where you are at and walk alongside you with a compassionate, curious, empathetic and non-judgmental approach.  My curiosity allows me to step back and view each client holistically to tailor evidence-based treatments to meet their unique circumstances, needs, and goals.  Whether you're navigating difficult times, seeking personal growth, or managing transitions, I'm here to provide guidance and equip you with personalized tools for a more fulfilling and empowered life.

I tend to work from a holistic, integrative approach drawing insights and techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Compassion Focused and Solutions Focused Therapy. 

I have experience working with teens, adults, couples and families, and I am currently accepting new clients.   I work with clients struggling with ADHD, Anxiety (generalized, phobias, social, and panic), Behavioural Issues, Borderline Personality Disorder, Coping Skills, Depression, Emotion Regulation, Life Transitions, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Relationship Issues, Self- Esteem, Stress and Trauma. 

I look forward to working collaboratively with you on this journey!

My passion is to help people envision possibilities for growth, change and healing at the individual, family, organizational and community levels. Grounded in systems-thinking, I provide direct support to individuals faced with difficult life circumstances and supervise other therapists in their psychotherapy work. I also have experience developing and delivering capacity building strategies for public health and community agencies to enhance organizational development, advocate for and address issues of access to care for vulnerable populations. 

I use an attachment framework and integrates therapeutic techniques from post-graduate training in various models (CBT, EFT, MI, Focusing and ACT). I also hold certificates in trauma and anxiety, addictions, grief and bereavement, and is a certified facilitator of MBTI and Prepare-Enrich. I help   children, adults, couples and families manage mood disorders, internalizing and externalizing behaviour issues, relationship distress and healing from abuse, trauma, loss and current or past family of origin issues.
