Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q), M.Ed. (Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy)
Welcome to Restoration Mental Health Agency.
As navigating through the ebbs and flows of life can be challenging, Katja believes that it is absolutely okay to feel overwhelmed at times by sadness, anxiety, or relationship struggles. Many individuals, just like you, encounter these obstacles at different points in their lives. Katja believes that recognizing you might need support is not only brave but a pivotal step towards healing and personal growth. Katja offers individual and couples therapy sessions to adults (18+).
As a social worker, my goal is to provide support to individuals to overcome challenges through the use of evidence-based practice, support and clinical experience. Whether you are experiencing a life transition, recent loss, feeling down, relationship or general concerns, I am here to help. As each individual and their presenting concerns are unique, we will work together to tailor an approach that works best for your needs. While therapy may include serious matters, I believe therapy should also be engaging and enjoyable. My role is to support you to promote meaningful change to feel your best and live the life you envision.In addition to counselling, I hold a teaching position at Mohawk College and work frontline in Healthcare. I specialize in transitions, care and placement for older adults, chronic illness and acceptance with new diagnosis. I’m confident that my experience and skills will help support you in navigating life’s challenges.

I'm Accepting NEW clients! – Do you want to feel less anxious, stressed, or depressed, and understand why these feelings stick? Have you experienced trauma or difficult situations and are unsure how to move forward? Do you want to learn coping skills to better manage your day-to-day or relationships? Are you facing life changes, cultural stressors, or transitions that you’d like support with? I'm here to support you on your journey of healing, understanding, and clarity. I offer a non-judgmental space for you to explore past, present, and future goals. Through collaboration, we can create a plan that fits your unique needs.
I hold a Masters of Counselling Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have worked as a Youth and Family Counsellor and Program Coordinator that served low income and newcomers. In working with children and adults, I have passion for for finding unique ways to create a personal therapy space for you.
As a therapist, I'm all about empathy and connection. Picture our sessions as a cozy, judgment-free zone where you can open up about anything on your mind. Together, we'll dive into your story, uncovering your unique strengths and tackling life's twists and turns with a big dose of compassion and resilience. It's a journey we'll walk side by side, with understanding and trust lighting the way.
The Thoughts is a unique innovation of my strong believe -
The root cause of every problem is in our thoughts and the solution to these problems is also hidden in our thoughts (by Satvinder K Khurme, MSW, RSW).
With over 20 years of experience, I am committed in assisting individuals, couples and families to resolve problems that affect their day-to-day lives within the context of their families, communities and workplaces.
Now Accepting New Clients (Fall 2023): So many of us want to make healthier choices, but it can feel so overwhelming to know where to start. We may lean on self-criticism to motivate ourselves, but this only leaves us feeling drained and discouraged. Perhaps you’re feeling lost in navigating a sea of uncomfortable emotions and turn to quick fixes to escape the pain. If you notice that you constantly oscillate between feeling out of control or overly-controlling, this doesn't need to be your destiny. Although you may feel trapped in this cycle of guilt, unworthiness, and self-sabotage, there is hope for a way out.
As your therapist, I can help you to hone in on your unique strengths in order to encourage movement through self-doubt towards self-compassion. I use a holistic approach to help you work towards taking action towards a healthy equilibrium. Our exploration will be guided by gentle curiosity to step into your most authentic self.
I'm here to support you in gaining control over these big emotions instead of having them control you. I'm currently accepting new clients that are ready to begin their transformative wellness journey. Reach out today by sending me an email. I can't wait to get started.

Together we create a space where you can safely and effectively work towards your wellness goals and make positive changes in your life. This may involve talking things through, processing and making sense of difficult experiences, addressing unhelpful thought or behaviour patterns, or establishing more effective coping mechanisms. Every client's journey is unique. My role is to support you in this process by being a neutral, non-judgemental resource.
