The Therapy Collective

The Therapy Collective Approaching therapy co-operatively, through individual and community connection. I am flexible in my work and continuously learn with and from my clients.

I provide counselling services to adults of all ages and adolescents (aged 14+). I believe each client is unique and accordingly tailor my practice to each individual.



I am trained in various modalities, from which I often draw in my practice; these include dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), EMDR, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). My appro

ach is variable, depending on what you would like to work through.



I have been in the mental health field for a number of years in various roles, working primarily with not-for-profit organizations in the Saint John area. I have presented and published on a range of topics including personality, attachment, executive function, substance use, and trauma - all of which complement my abilities as a clinician. I know that the healing process is not the same for everyone and that rigid approaches to treatment may not always be appropriate.

Therapy shouldn’t be something you can only access if you can comfortably afford another bill.

This September, our $10 counselling sessions are returning to Uptown Saint John with our student therapist, Sarah. 🤍

Offering financially accessible therapy isn’t an afterthought for us. It’s part of what we believe community care should look like. We know many people want support but have had to postpone it, ration it, or go without it entirely because of cost.

Sarah will be welcoming new clients (aged 16+) under clinical supervision, with sessions available for just $10.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to begin, this might be it. Send us a message to learn more or reserve your spot.

How seriously do we take a mother when she says she is not okay?

Maternal mental health struggles do not have a neat little expiration date. We need to keep asking, keep listening and take mothers seriously.

She’s staying. ❤️

We’re so excited to share that after completing her time with us in placement, Hannah will 'officially' be joining The Therapy Collective this September.

Hannah brings a warm, thoughtful and deeply human approach to therapy. Her work draws from mindful self-compassion, mind-body practices, person-centred and narrative approaches, with a particular passion for grief, holistic and somatic healing, and supporting people through life’s transitions.

Hannah creates space for clients to feel seen and supported as they make sense of their stories, reconnect with themselves, build self-trust and find their own way forward.

And we feel very lucky that the next chapter of her work gets to happen here. ❤️

Hannah will be welcoming new evening clients beginning in September. You can join her waitlist now by sending us a message or here: https://therapycollectiveatlantic.janeapp.com/

Kinda chic, if you ask us.

Therapy, boundaries, changing your mind, resting, feeling your feelings and generally being a person. Very in right now.

Which one are you claiming? 👀

Today kinda sucked. My baby was extra clingy this morning (ty teething and long weekend). Honestly, it makes me really sad sometimes that I’m not doing a traditional mat leave.

On top of that as we were leaving for daycare, I realized her car seat hadn’t been put back in the car after the weekend. When I finally found it, I couldn’t get it installed properly. We eventually got on the road (car seat in properly), only for me to notice my sunglasses had snapped in half.

Then I discovered my daughter had chewed through her soother and a piece had broken off in her mouth. Thankfully she was okay.

I got to work and my laptop was dead.

I ordered lunch. Only a coffee arrived and it belonged to someone else. I reordered, waited almost two hours… and then my order was cancelled.

By that point I was hungry, behind, frustrated, and my brain had already decided:

“Today is a disaster.” “The universe is against me” “why does every like this happen to me”… I could go on 🙃lol

As therapists, we talk a lot about reframing. Today, I had to practice it myself.

Reframing isn’t pretending the hard parts didn’t happen.

It’s zooming out enough to see the whole picture.

The whole picture is that I actually had great sessions today with my clients, it was sunny, my kids are happy, healthy, and loved. I got to spend this evening celebrating Hannah as she finishes her graduate degree 🎉 and I get to do work that matters alongside people I genuinely care about.

None of that erased the frustrating parts of today.

But it does remind me the bad parts aren’t the whole story.

The reframing skill isn’t changing the day.

It’s changing the lens you look at it through and pushing forward, because there is lots of light if you let it in ☀️ ~ Kate

Welcome, Sarah! ❤️

We are so excited to welcome Sarah to The Therapy Collective! Beginning September 2026, Sarah will be offering low-cost counselling for individuals 16 years of age and older.

Sarah is currently completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) through Yorkville University and brings a collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to her work. She is passionate about creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.

Sarah has a special interest in supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, transgender and gender-diverse clients, and parents and caregivers of q***r and trans children. As both a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and the parent of transgender children, she brings both lived experience and deep compassion to her work, offering affirming and culturally responsive care where clients can feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

In addition to gender- and sexuality-related concerns, Sarah works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, emotional regulation challenges, relationship and family concerns, identity development, self-esteem, and neurodiversity. She believes therapy isn’t about “fixing” people, but about helping individuals reconnect with their strengths, values, and authentic selves while developing practical tools for everyday life.

We can’t wait for you to meet Sarah! 💙 You can add yourself to Sarah’s waitlist by visiting the link in our bio

Friday was graduation day for Intensive Day Program at Sophia Recovery Centre and it felt fitting to end with something beautiful ❤

We gathered for a henna workshop, a perfect chance to slow down, connect, laugh, and celebrate how far each woman has come. It has been a privilege to witness this group show up for themselves and each other. Every step in recovery matters. ~ Kate

Pride Month is a celebration of authenticity, resilience, community, and joy. It’s also, at its core, a protest. It is a reminder that the work toward equity, safety, and inclusion is far from over.

Across Canada and around the world, many 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals continue to face discrimination, barriers to healthcare, social stigma, and policies that impact their ability to live openly and authentically. Safe spaces, affirming healthcare, and inclusive policies remain essential, not just during Pride Month, but every day of the year.

We believe everyone deserves access to care that is affirming, respectful, and grounded in dignity. Our practice is committed to creating a safer space where q***r, trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive individuals can explore their experiences, access support, and be met with compassion and understanding.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength and diversity of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities while continuing to advocate for a future where affirmation, belonging, and equitable access to care are realities for all.

Happy Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
