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.

THERAPY APPROACH
Real Talk, Zero Judgement

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 that Actually Fits

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.

Progress Without the Pressure

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, with 100% More Tail Wags
