KATHERINE JANICKI

I believe that therapy is a collaborative and non-judgmental space for exploration and connection, and my aim to work with you to address your therapeutic goals within a safe and growth-fostering relationship. My approach is psychodynamic and relational, and focused on the emotional roots that inform our ways of being in the world. I draw on techniques and philosophies such as mind-body connection, mindfulness, and parts work depending on your unique needs; I strive to emphasize agency and to cultivate the healer within. I am also committed to the value of anti-oppression and recognize the impact of economic and sociocultural factors on individuals and systems.

When working with couples, partners, and polycules, I focus on illuminating the unique dynamics and goals at play, understanding patterns, and helping to build practical pathways to healthy communication and conflict resolution. Drawing on psychodynamic approaches as well as EFT and Gottman methods, I support clients in exploring underlying emotional needs, strengthening attachment bonds, and creating lasting change in their relationships.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, and a graduate and faculty member of the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counseling Program. I have additional training in group facilitation, end-of-life care, and psychedelic integration. I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families.
