Getting to a therapist can be a good thing. But taking that first step can be the hardest part because of some barriers.

And in my conversation with Katie Johnson, we go over some of these barriers and how to overcome them.

*Katie is a registered clinical counselor and registered social worker. And she has a Masters in social work. She is currently based at Expression Wellness in Abbotsford, BC

Here are some of the points we covered:

  1. Katie’s credentials
  2. Trying to figure out when I started therapy (hint: we never do)
  3. Our common background
  4. Is there a difference between therapy & counseling?
  5. The different approaches to therapy
  6. Trauma and 2020
  7. Therapy for BIPOC
  8. Resources to find therapists
