Katelyn Reid
Katie believes that counselling needs to be collaborative and centred in every person’s lived experience. For Katie, building a strong, trusting, and positive therapeutic relationship is the first step in supporting clients in moving forward towards the goals and changes they want to see in their lives.
Katie is focused on working with youth and young adults who are seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, social relationships, and life transitions. With a background in working with not-for-profit organizations, Katie has experience working with diverse backgrounds. By looking at all aspects of life, she will help clients build a deeper understanding of themselves, their environments, and how to move forward in positive ways.
To do this, Katie believes that taking a person-centred approach helps tailor sessions towards individual needs, and using evidence-based practices such as CBT, ACT, and solution-focused therapy helps equip clients with the tools they need to grow. Katie is currently working towards her Master’s of Counselling with Yorkville University as part of her training to become a registered counsellor.
Outside of counselling, Katie loves spending time outdoors hiking and camping, especially with her dog (Zuko). She also loves to travel; seeing diverse ways of living and immersing herself in cultures around the world is a passion. Spending time with family and friends is a huge piece of Katie’s life. She also loves cooking, painting, and gardening.
