Kate Mooney, MSW, RSW
Integrative Therapist | True Nature Counselling Services
Through True Nature Counselling Services, I offer individual therapy to adults, couples/family and youth aged 12 and older. My approach is warm, collaborative, grounded in curiosity and compassion. I work with you to understand how your experiences, relationships, emotions, beliefs, and nervous system shape the ways you interpret and respond to life events. Together, we explore patterns that may have helped you cope in the past, consider what is still working, and what can change or be added to support you now.
I draw from a hearty background of specific trauma-informed trainings such as: Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, IRest Yoga Nidra, Mindfulness, Somatic approaches, Dialectical and Cognitive and Behavioural therapies. My work includes supporting people navigating trauma, serious mental illness, ADHD, anxiety, burnout, family distress, grief, challenges with boundaries, and emotional regulation. I adapt the course of therapy to your needs, combining meaningful reflection with practical strategies you can use in everyday life.
I believe therapy should be a place where you can feel understood without having to explain yourself perfectly. You bring knowledge of your own life; I bring experience, perspective, and a thoughtful process for helping us make sense of it together. I aim to help you build self-understanding, respond to yourself with greater kindness, and make changes that reflect what matters to you.
Clinically, my approach would be described as “Integrative” and “Psychodynamic”. We use concepts and practices that make sense to you as the individual you are, which we discover through our conversations and experimentation. A typical session includes deep conversation, moments to pause and self-observe, using breath, exploring soothing techniques, or discussing relevant theories. We also use whiteboard work and brainstorming frequently to support the discussion and help conceptualize ideas.
