I'm Kat, a Registered Social Worker and EMDR-trained clinician. I offer walk-and-talk therapy sessions in Toronto, and virtual sessions from anywhere in Ontario.
5% of every session's fee is donated directly to the Toronto Wildlife Centre to support their rescue and rehabilitation of local sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals in need.
My fall & winter 2026-27 routes are a mix of nature and city and are all transit-accessible. We walk at a conversational pace and do the same clinical work as virtual sessions. All that changes is the scenery.
Intended for quiet reflections. This historic cemetery and public arboretum features over 600 species of trees and shrubs, art installations, and wildlife. Appreciate the autumn colours, crunch of snow in the winter, spring renewal, and summer blooms. Available on Mondays and Saturdays from 12-4 p.m.
Your PATH to wellness. The PATH is the world's largest underground pedestrian pedway. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter, this bustling maze serves as a thoroughfare for 300,000 people per day and transforms into a quiet haven in the evening — with sleek marble and beautiful architecture throughout. Available on Thursdays and Saturdays from 6:30-9:30 p.m.
This work found me before I chose it. Before I was a social worker, I had one of my own, after growing up around mental illness and addiction. I lost both parents to it, and spent years on that same path myself before doing the work to change course. None of this makes me an expert on your story. Everyone's walk is their own. But it's important for you to know that I've done my own version of this work, slowly and imperfectly, and built a life out of it. I understand what it takes to make change, and what's waiting for you when you do.
I'm registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW #859640) and hold a master's in social work (MSW) from the University of Illinois Chicago's Jane Addams School of Social Work.
We talk briefly about what's bringing you here. If walking sessions don't feel like the right fit, virtual sessions are always an option.
The default session length is one hour. Some work takes longer, and many of my clients find a walk and talk of ninety minutes or two hours is even more valuable.
Direct billing through TELUS eClaims available. Most insurers will cover up to $180 per hour.
