Katia Merhi, MA, CCC
EMDR, Anxiety & Identity Therapist (she/her)

"You don't have to figure it out alone. Together, we can find your footing, build your tools, and create a deep sense of belonging where you matter most."

Are you feeling anxious, stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward? Maybe you’re carrying the weight of past experiences, navigating a major life transition, or trying to make sense of emotions that feel hard to control.

​

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

​

I provide a space where you can slow down and feel truly understood. Together, we’ll work at your pace to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more like yourself again.

​​

Support that adapts to you

I work with adults and youth navigating anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. Whether your experiences feel recent or long-standing, we move at a pace that feels right for you.

​

My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, integrating EMDR, CBT, and DBT in a way that feels practical and supportive rather than overwhelming.

​

Our work often focuses on:

• Processing difficult memories using EMDR to find lasting relief

• Building practical tools to regulate emotions and quiet the noise of anxiety

• Understanding the patterns that keep you feeling stuck or exhausted

• Creating a sense of clarity, confidence, and safety in your own life

​

A space for anyone who feels like an outsider

Having navigated different cultures and transitions myself, I understand the exhaustion of constantly adapting to the people around you and searching for a true sense of belonging. I also understand how meaningful it is to have a space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly understood.

​

My role is not to lead you, but to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique journey. Together, we focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths, make sense of your experiences, and build a life that feels more steady and fulfilling.

​

I bring this lived experience into the therapy room to support those who feel disconnected, whether that’s from difficult family dynamics, relationship struggles, or major life changes.

​

A little about me

I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, with experience in both community and private practice settings.

​

When I’m not at the clinic, you’ll likely find me with my dog Daisy, getting lost in a fantasy novel, or working on creative projects like crochet and candle making. These moments help me stay grounded and present in both my life and my work.​​​​
