Ms Katie Hilchey

Registered Psychologist

“A compassionate, non-judgmental, and ethical psychologist with over eight years of experience working with adults dealing with issues related to complex trauma, attachment, anxiety, and self-esteem.”

About Me

My practice offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space. For over eight years, I have supported adults navigating complex trauma, attachment challenges, anxiety, and self-esteem. My ethical approach helps you explore difficult feelings and build inner resilience. In our sessions, you will find a safe environment where you can feel truly heard. This collaborative work fosters understanding, guiding you towards a more grounded and confident self.

Approach

With steady empathy and clear ethics, I help you notice patterns in relationships and body‑felt responses so therapy feels grounded and manageable. In my Calgary office or via secure online sessions in English, we move at a pace you can tolerate, alternating focused reflection, skill practice, and gentle exploration of past hurts. I offer simple, practical experiments to try between meetings and brief check‑ins that help translate insights into day‑to‑day changes around anxiety, attachment, and self‑esteem. This way of working suits adults seeking thoughtfully paced, collaborative change.
