Ms Kate Drohan

Registered Social Worker

I specialize in helping adults work through anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, and body image concerns, and I also work with couples using the Gottman Method. My approach is compassionate, respectful, and rooted in honesty. I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space.

About Me

I am a Registered Social Worker in Toronto, Ontario. I help you manage addiction, anxiety, body-image concerns, chronic illness, and eating disorders. I offer individual therapy, relationship counseling, and psychodynamic therapy to change patterns and build coping skills.

Approach

In my therapy sessions, I offer a unique blend of approaches, a tapestry woven from threads of humanistic and strength-focused techniques intertwined with elements of psychodynamic, mindfulness, trauma awareness, cognitive behavioral, existential, and somatic practices.
