Compassionate Child, Youth, Young Adult, and Family Therapist
Serving Central Vancouver Island In-Person and Online Across British Columbia
Welcome! I’m Katen Jolly, a Registered Clinical Social Worker and Registered Clinical Counsellor dedicated to helping kids, teens, young adults, and families find their way through life’s twists, turns, and occasional plot twists. With a mix of professional expertise, practical strategies, and a dash of dad jokes, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and connection—without the clinical stiff collar.
I specialize in gender-affirming care, anxiety and depression support, parent coaching, and LGBTQ2S+ therapy. My practice is known for being a safe, relaxed space where you’ll feel heard, respected, and empowered—because healing should be real, not rigid.
Whether you’re looking for gender transition support, managing stress, or guidance through life’s big (and small) moments, I’m here for it. Ready to take the next step toward well-being? Reach out today and let’s make this chapter a good one.
Serious therapy, silly dog.
What could go wrong.

Welcome! I’m Katen Jolly, a Registered Clinical Social Worker and Registered Clinical Counsellor who helps kids, teens, young adults, and families navigate the big stuff, the small stuff, and the messy in-between. I’m all about real talk, practical support, and the occasional dad joke.
My practice is a relaxed, affirming space where you’ll feel truly heard and respected – because healing shouldn’t be stiff or sterile. Whether you’re looking for gender-affirming assessments, parenting support, or just someone who gets it, I’m here to help.
Ready for a fresh start? Let’s take that next step together.

Therapy shouldn’t feel like a performance. It’s a place for real talk, tough conversations, and the kind of breakthroughs that usually show up when you least expect them – like a deep chat over a good cup of tea.

Therapy should feel less like a stiff waiting room chair and more like your favorite, well-worn armchair – supportive, comfortable, and made just for you. We’ll create a space that actually fits who you are, not just who a textbook says you should be.

Therapy isn’t a race, and there’s no pressure to be “fixed” fast. Progress can be light, a little messy, and perfectly imperfect – like a paper airplane catching a gentle breeze. We’ll take things at your pace, one small win at a time.

Therapy here comes with a side of tail wags, soulful stares, and the occasional snore. Mali’s part of the magic – a reminder that a little warmth and a lot of fur can make all the difference.

If 'fine' is feeling like too much work, Mali and I totally get it.
