About Katelyn Rowe

I am a Registered Counselling Therapist working with children, teens, young adults, and their families. I provide support to individuals navigating concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, academic challenges, peer relationships, grief and loss, and emotion regulation. I strive to provide a safe and comforting space for people to explore and make sense of their experiences, how they see the world, and how they seem themselves. My person-centered approach supports individuals to navigate their emotions, empowers them to recognize and develop their own strengths and abilities to cope, and live a fulfilling life.

​

My work with younger children is collaborative with their caregiver. My goal is to help caregivers better understand and support their children's emotions, challenging behaviors, and to learn strategies to respond in a way that builds connections and improves family functioning. As a new mom to a spirited little boy, attachment and responsive parenting philosophies inform my work with caregivers and their children. I will do my best to help you all feel heard and meet your family's needs.

​

I began my journey as a helping professional over ten years ago and have gained significant experience working with diverse populations of children, youth, and their families in a multitude of environments. My work as a Counselling Therapist is complimented by my role with the IWK's Children's Intensive Service, where I have supported some of our province's most vulnerable and complex families. This experience has instilled deep empathy and appreciation for the resiliency and capability of individuals struggling personally, in family dynamics, and within our social systems.

​

I have education and certification in therapeutic approaches including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment Regulation Competency, Collaborative Problem-Solving Tier 2, and Trauma Informed Care. My integrative approach to working with children, teens, and families is informed by therapeutic modalities such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness, Somatic Therapy, and Attachment Theory.

​

I am passionate about my work and I truly believe children and families are capable of growth, learning, healing, and change. I feel privileged to be a part of these healing journeys.
