Katie McLean, BA, MEd, MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Sometimes we feel low and don’t know how we got here. Your past experiences may have left scars and formed how you feel and view yourself, your abilities, and others. Long after those experiences are gone, their aftermath can still live on. If you feel scared, worry that you are not enough or can’t shake the feelings of guilt and self-doubt, reach out. Sometimes the things that feel the most unchangeable are actually not. It is amazing how much can change when you spend time with a warm and accepting other. Not all experiences are equal in their impact, and it is amazing how much can change in a meaningful relationship.Whatever your reason for seeking support, I will authentically welcome you without judgement and with curiosity and warmth. With me you can expect to have deep conversations, and make meaningful connections and realizations, as well as to process and feel your feelings, and find self-compassion, acceptance and coping tools. I highly value the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and prioritize building a genuine connection with you, as the basis of our work together.
Reaching out is the hardest part but you have made it this far. You know that something needs to change, even if you cannot imagine how it would. I am asking you to take a risk and a chance here. There is so much on the other side of your pain. Please reach out for a free consultation today and let’s see if we are a fit!
