Kate Burtis
(She/her), RN, RP, MEd
Registered Psychotherapist

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and Registered Nurse (RN) interested in supporting you to find and make the changes you want in your life. I often work with people on concerns like shame, anxiety, addictions, life-transitions (parenting, career changes, aging), and body-image. Some people aren't exactly sure what their concerns are and want help figuring them out -- I'm here for that too.
 

I draw from a mix of therapeutic theories and techniques to help you get curious about yourself, and I especially appreciate emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and narrative work. I am trained in EMDR and love using it with clients who have had difficult past experiences that continue to trouble them. I also understand that people process things differently, and welcome bringing movement, sound, aroma, and/or creative expression to sessions.
 

I believe that everyone deserves to pursue a satisfying life. I believe that therapy should be accessible and inclusive, and should meet you where you are at. I believe that social justice, harm-reduction, and trauma-informed approaches are absolutely foundational to good mental healthcare.
