Therapist (Student)
Kaytee (she/her) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), completing her Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University in April, 2026. Given her experience, as an AuDHD individual diagnosed in her 40s, Kaytee grounds her work in deep respect for individual differences and strengths, supporting clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves. She specializes in working with late-diagnosed perimenopausal and menopausal women, as they are an underserved population, and perimenopause and menopause are now special interests of hers. Thanks, biology.
With a warm, nonjudgmental, and person-centred approach, she strongly believes that life is more peaceful when we embrace what makes us uncommon, and she strives to help her clients transform those differences into sources of strength and meaning. Using a trauma-informed lens, she helps clients recognize that the coping strategies that once kept them safe may no longer be serving them — approaching this with compassion rather than judgment. Aside from employing a foundation of the Rogerian tenets of unconditional positive regard, congruence, and empathy, Kaytee uses an integrative/eclectic approach, drawing from ACT, as required for each individual.
A lifelong visual artist (give her any medium, she’ll run with it), Kaytee brings creativity into both her personal and professional life. She believes that therapy can be a space for curiosity and self-discovery, and she integrates compassion, humor, and authenticity into her work.
When she is not in the office, Kaytee is often immersed in sci-fi or fantasy worlds, either through books or video games, usually with one or more cats sprawled across her lap. She also takes pride in her quirky, ever-evolving relationship with food: though a notoriously picky eater (thanks, autism), she makes an effort to try new things every so often, and she’s recently (and triumphantly) added oyster mushrooms — deep-fried into oblivion, of course — into her regular rotation.
Kaytee's currently completing her practicum - with neurodivergent and neurotypical clients alike - at the ADHD & Spectrum Centre.
