With over ten years of experience in behavioural optometry, Katie brings a unique, whole-person approach to therapy. Having worked closely with both children and adults, she understands how our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions shape the way we experience the world.

As a psychotherapist, Katie supports clients dealing with challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and burnout. Drawing from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), she tailors each session to meet clients where they are — with compassion, curiosity, and respect.

At the heart of Katie’s work is the belief that with help and compassion we can uncover the truest versions of ourselves. Katie provides a safe space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with goals, values, and authenticity.

Building a life worth living is a conscious choice. Every day we make choices that guide us to be our best selves. My name is Mandy Sproat, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. I also have an undergranduate degree from the University of Waterloo in Social Development Studies and have completed all of my educational requirements towards my Masters of Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University. I am fully registered with the CRPO (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario) and can provide services to those with benefits. Prior to this I completed a diploma in Early Childhood Education and Preschool Resource Teaching and studied at the Neufeld Institute.

Who do I work with & What can I help with?

For the past 25 years I have worked with families and children. I have experience working with preschool children; school aged children; teens; young adults and adults to reach their full potential and to take a look at themselves from the inside out to challenge patterns of thought and encourage them on a journey to self-actualization. I like to work alongside you, as an individual, to best decide our next steps. I take an integrative approach to therapy combining Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT). I also combine elements of attachment theory into our approach. I will be trained in Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) by Dec 2022. I consider myself an ally for the 2S-LGBQT+ community and have also completed the Safer Spaces training.

My Specialties

Other than my experience with children, which I use to treat most behavioural and mental health concerns; I also work with adults on a variety of needs including: depression, anxiety, anger management, bereavement/grief, addictions, trauma/PTSD, personality disorders including BPD, parenting concerns and support, codependency, self esteem, self-harm, chronic illness/pain, support for families with children who live with special needs.

My Therapeutic Approach

There is no one size fits all treatment. My approach to therapy is integrative, collaborative and client centered. My hope is to help you gain a greater understanding of your emotional responses, needs and relationships with others. Greater awareness guides us towards change. We will focus on the issues you identify and work in a way that fits for you.

“I am a dedicated and compassionate psychotherapist with experience working with children, youth, and adults. I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach and strive to create a personalized, integrative experience for each client. Using evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, I help clients navigate a wide range of mental health concerns. Whether supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I focus on fostering resilience and self-awareness in a safe, supportive space.

My goal is to collaborate with clients to explore their unique strengths and challenges, empowering them to develop effective coping strategies and achieve meaningful change.”
