Kathryn Theroux

Greetings! I am an ACT therapist in East Van managing a neuro- and gender-diverse household. In my adult practice I support parents and child-free folks with a wide range of issues: changing jobs, altering family structures, coming out, caring for aging parents, accommodating a disability, and managing burnout at home or work. My parent support specialities include caring and advocating for neurodiverse kids with humor, gentleness, and common sense. I also work with LGBTQIA+ community members at all stages of understanding and expressing their identities. 

I help clients identify unmet needs by finding and questioning assumptions. In session, we locate barriers to meaningful living, attending compassionately and honestly to what’s neglected. Change comes via small, considered steps.

Therapy is work and doesn’t always feel good. Progress may be slow and require hard choices. I promise to work just as hard alongside you, determining together what’s worthwhile.

Recovering good girl? Former gifted kid? Menopausal GenXer with teenagers and parents driving you bonkers? Make an appointment. Let’s examine the habits that are no longer serving you. There is still joy to be found.
