Description
I am a registered social worker and psychotherapist, broadly interested in working with individuals and couples who are struggling with life transitions, challenges to identity, low mood, anxiety, and difficulty breaking out of particular patterns of behaviour. Some of my areas of special interest include ADHD, autism and neurodivergence; burnout; academia; the challenges of balancing caregiving and career demands; and the existential dread and dissonance that come with living in world shaped by climate change, violence, oppression, and inequality.

Summary
I am broadly interested in working with individuals and couples struggling with life transitions, challenges to identity, low mood, anxiety, and difficulty breaking out of patterns of behaviour. My own experiences as a neurodivergent individual, parent, and person familiar with frequent moves and cross-cultural living help me bring a unique perspective to therapy. I offer both in-person and virtual appointments. As a registered social worker, my services are covered by most extended health benefit plans/insurers. Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation: info@katekirby.ca.
