About Us

“Courage is not the towering oak that sees the storms come and go, it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow.”
– Alice M. Swain

  • Do you feel stuck repeating old, unhealthy patterns in relationships?
  • Are you overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings?
  • Maybe you feel exhausted by the constant mental chatter of your inner critic?
  • Have you experienced a loss of self-confidence, or your ability to feel joy?

If these sound familiar, seeking counselling supports may be a fit for you. Trying to cope alone can feel painful and exhausting. It is both wise and courageous of you to seek support now and then, as caring for ourselves is one of the most important things we can do to begin to feel well. If you’re ready to begin your journey, we would be honoured to work with you every step of the way.

Thank you for taking a moment to consider us as you search for the right person to help you through what you are personally dealing with. If you are an Albertan struggling with your mental health, please click the button below to schedule a free 20-minute consultation, which will offer you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have, and to see if we’re a fit.

Katie Hilchey, M.A., R. Psych. (She/Her)

We all experience emotional pain at some point in our lives, and it is possible to heal from these wounds. If you are considering taking steps toward personal healing, I acknowledge and commend your courage and resilience.

I am a registered psychologist in Alberta and have been practicing in the field of mental health since 2016. I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced traumatic events to move through the process of healing and recovery. In addition, I also have a great deal of experience working with people who are experiencing anxiety-related disorders.
