Welcome!
My name is Katie Lysak,
I'm a Registered Social Worker offering therapy for highly sensitive and deeply feeling individuals. My practice is anti-oppressive, neurodiverse affirming, and rooted in trauma-informed care. Whether you're navigating intense emotions, a perinatal journey, or just seeking relief, I'm here to help.
How I Can Support You
Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy
A space that honours your unique wiring.
Whether you're late-diagnosed or exploring your neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, SPD, HSP), I provide sensory-informed, non-pathologizing care that respects your lived experience.
Common themes:
-
Masking
-
Burnout
-
Executive function
-
Self-acceptance
-
Self-compassion
Trauma & Emotional Safety
Healing is possible - and it doesn't have to hurt more first.
Together we explore your past gently and at your pace, using trauma-informed approaches that prioritize emotional regulation and body awareness.
Includes:
-
Attachment wounds
-
Relational trauma
-
Emotional neglect
-
Shutdown/freeze responses
"There is no right way to be a person. Your brain is not a problem to fix - it's a story to understand and embrace."

What to Expect When You Start Therapy
Whether you're new to therapy or returning to it, here's what our journey will look like - step by step, at your pace.
1 / Free 15-Minute Consultation
Schedule a no-pressure phone or video call to see if we’re a good fit. You can ask questions, share your goals, or just get a feel for my approach.
🕊️ You don’t need to have everything figured out before we talk.
2 / Begin With a Personalized Intake
In our first full session, we’ll explore what’s most important to you — at your pace. There’s no pressure to dive in deep right away.
🌞 Safety and comfort first
3 / Ongoing Support That Grows With You
We’ll work together to explore what matters most to you — whether it’s navigating sensory overwhelm, adjusting to new parenthood, or healing past trauma.
🌱 You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space that honours your process.
Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are — no expectations, no pressure. Just space to breathe, reflect, and grow.
