Hi, I’m Katie Kilback (she/her).

I know that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable. Whether you're reaching out for the first time or returning after some time away, my hope is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and supported.

My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I believe therapy should move at a pace that feels right for you, while gently encouraging growth and meaningful change.

My Approach

Compassion

You deserve to be met with warmth, respect, and without judgment.

Collaboration

Therapy isn't something done to you. We'll work together to find what feels most helpful.

Hope

Even during life's hardest seasons, healing and meaningful change are possible.

About Katie

I’ve always been drawn to supporting others—it’s been a constant thread in both my personal life and professional path. My own experiences in counselling have deeply shaped the way I show up as a therapist: with empathy, openness, and the belief that change is possible, even in the hardest seasons.

I’m continually inspired by the courage, honesty, and strength of my clients. Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, or simply a place to be heard, I consider it a privilege to sit with you.

Outside of the therapy room, I love spending time with my husband and two sons, enjoying a good show or music with loved ones, or curled up at home with our two cats. I also love travelling and learning from different cultures and perspectives.

If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to connect.
