What to expect from HCS
Katherine treats each client with openness and respect in attempt to build the collaborative relationship necessary for sustained change.
First session:
Expect a lot of questions!
Katherine has additional training in a number of modalities all with the same purpose – to help in the facilitation of client change! While she often pulls from all of these approaches when working with individual clients, different strategies can be particularly helpful when meeting the unique needs of the individual, and the individuals presenting concern at the time.
Second session and beyond:
The work begins…
These sessions can look a little different for each client depending on their needs. While Katherine has been trained in a number of therapeutic techniques, in addition to being a Registered Provisional Psychologist in the Province of Alberta, she does not view it as her role to be an expert on your life — because you are!
Katherine works with adults and youth with various presenting concerns including anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression and trauma. She has personal awareness of how important it can be to seek outside support, and how much bravery it often takes to tell our stories when it is our stories that have made us feel incredibly vulnerable.
*Katherine is familiar with Edmonton’s addiction community including AA and other 12 step programs
Katherine’s Additional Training:
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
She is happy to answer any questions about these techniques either in session or via email.
