Psychotherapy

PLEASE NOTE:  Kate is currently not taking any new psychotherapy clients that are not IC students but feel free to click here to have your name put on the waiting list.

 

We are all born with life flowing through us. Life experiences can be painful enough that we literally cut off our own life force in order to not feel the pain. But when we do that we also cut off the joy, the connection, the life energy itself. Usually reconnecting to our life force involves clearing the mind, body and soul of old energies, bringing mindfulness to energetic and psychological out-moded ways of being to choose flow over habitual stuckness, in order to re-connnect to ourselves and to spirit, to the divine for guidance, meaning, and joy. The goal is always to re-establish the life-flow. This involves talk therapy, and creative approaches to bring mindfulness to self and situation (body-centered work, meditation, shamanic healing, and expressive arts like sound, movement, or visual art).

Sessions are 1 hour, are at Kate's office at Bayview & Eglinton or over the phone for long distance clients.
Therapeutic focus:
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • feeling stuck

*New therapist healers can also come for mentorship and supervision in their burgeoning practices. Included: setting up a practice, developing your own style, attracting the clients you can best serve, learning the healing arc and individual rhythm of each client, counter transference as an intuitive tool, separating the cause and effect of wounding (physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual), the prioritization of healing, and more. An initial interview is required.
