About Katherine Chung

Katherine is a Registered Psychotherapist and completed her Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and her undergraduate studies at the University of Guelph in Psychology. She completed an internship here at MyLife Counselling under the supervision of our Clinical Director Mark Nixon. We were so impressed with Katherine’s compassion and skill with clients that we insisted she join our team!

Katherine has a wealth of experience working closely with men and women struggling with anxiety, addiction and trauma as a behavioural counsellor with Stonehenge Therapeutic Community in Guelph. As an addictions counsellor at Homewood Health Centre in Guelph, she developed and facilitated psycho-educational skills groups for dozens of patients there struggling with addiction and mental health. As a support worker with Community Living in North Halton, she’s been an advocate for adults and children with developmental disabilities and mental health issues. In addition to her past internship at MyLife, she also completed a second internship at McMaster University helping university students from all walks of life through anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.

Katherine draws from a variety of evidenced based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. Her experience as a certified personal trainer and Bootcamp instructor means that even when life is a struggle, she helps her clients find the determination and hope to overcome the obstacles in their lives.

Katherine values the importance of self-care in her life. She relaxes and re-energizes herself through her love of ballroom dancing, playing tennis, and spending quality time with her family and friends.
