About Us

Kathleen McLachlan BA, MSc.

Registered Psychotherapist.
Member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

Experiencing and overcoming challenges in raising my own family led me to believe in the power of therapy, and inspired me to become a therapist.  I feel my life experience allows me to have more empathy and connection with my clients and the challenges they face.

I have a passion for treating  people of all ages struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression and mental health struggles.  The right strategy can work to overcome challenges, allow individuals to focus on their unique strengths and abilities, and ultimately transform their lives.

I use an integrative, evidence based approach that is modified to meet each client’s needs.  I strive to always provide my clients with empathy, understanding and a space where they can feel free to express themselves without judgement.  My goal is to provide clients with the support and strategies they need to overcome the obstacles that may be preventing them from living their best life.

I studied Psychology at Queen’s University and earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counselling from Walden University.  I am a Registered Psychotherapist and member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
