Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
As a highly sensitive therapist, I offer a warm, attuned presence and a deep capacity to notice the subtleties of a client’s emotional world. I tend to process information thoughtfully and reflectively, which allows for a patient, mindful approach that helps people feel genuinely seen, understood, and safe enough to explore vulnerable parts of their experience. Most of my therapeutic focus areas are intentionally chosen—they reflect experiences I understand personally and have spent years studying, integrating, and applying in meaningful ways. Because of this you can be assured that I am able to meet you where you are at, with sincerity and a dose of genuine humour, listening deeply, noticing subtle patterns and shifts, and encouraging steps forward in a gentle but challenging way.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I know how difficult it can be to navigate the complexities of life, especially when trauma, relationships, or identity issues weigh heavy on your heart. I’m here to offer you a safe, affirming space where you can begin the process of healing, at your own pace, and on your own terms.
Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of sexual trauma, exploring your LGBTQ+ identity, or simply seeking to understand the patterns in your life that no longer serve you, I am committed to walking beside you through every step of the journey. You don’t have to do this alone. In therapy with me, you’ll experience a unique blend of evidence-based therapies, creative techniques, and a deeply empathetic, collaborative approach. I’ll work with you to find what resonates, whether it’s EMDR, psychodynamic exploration, somatic therapy, meditation, or a combination of tools that evolve as your needs shift. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, meaning I always respect your pace, your boundaries, and your journey. We’ll create a space where your healing is not just possible, but empowered.
I offer flexible evening and late-night sessions, making it easier for you to prioritize your well-being—even with a busy schedule. My online practice allows me to meet you where you are, whether that’s through Zoom or telephone, and I’m fully committed to being present with you during our sessions—so you get the support you deserve when you need it most.
With over a decade in mental health, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals. From my early days supporting Haitian refugees abroad, to my experience working with neurodiverse young adults and seniors, I have helped people from many walks of life navigate complex emotions, trauma, and identity. While I specialize in sexual trauma and LGBTQ+ care, I believe healing is unique to each person—and I’m here to support you, no matter your background, experience, or life stage. Whether you’re exploring deep emotional patterns, working through trauma, or seeking more connection in your relationships, I’m committed to adapting my approach to meet your needs and helping you move forward at your own pace.
If you’re ready to begin this journey, take the first step today—together, we’ll find the path that works best for you. I’m here to help you heal, grow, and thrive.

Kimberly Davidson | Katalyst Integrated Trauma Treatment
Counsellor/Therapist, RCS, MTC, RTC, SEP, CCTP, CCISM, CFRC, CATP, NARM
Hi, my name is Kimberly. As I worked to heal my own trauma, I worked with several well meaning counsellors and therapists, who really didn't know or understand how to work with complex or developmental trauma. At worst, I was further hurt by their efforts to help me, at best it fuelled me to go back to school to get the education needed to fit this gap, for those who may need help in these areas as well. The impact of developmental & complex trauma on a person is enormous and impacts the entire person and all aspects of their lives. There isn't an area of your life that cannot be improved by healing your trauma. I work efficiently and thoroughly, as you have been through enough. Healing shouldn't be harder or longer than what you have already been through.
