Together, we work toward healing, self-trust, and finding your way back to yourself.

I’m Katie Poirier, founder of Poirier Counselling in Edmonton.

For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals navigating trauma and eating disorders. I work with both those experiencing these challenges and the loved ones who support them, such as parents, partners, and friends.

My approach is centred on helping clients feel heard, empowered, and able to grow, with compassion, understanding, and room for laughter in the process.

Let’s work together.

Therapy Intensives

Therapy intensives offer focused, personalized support designed to help you move through stuck points, gain clarity, and see meaningful progress in fewer appointments than traditional therapy.

Faster, Deeper Progress: Intensive sessions give you the time to address core issues and patterns all at once, without the pressure of touching on pain and then needing to wrap up quickly.

Clarity and Relief: By diving deeply in a single session or two, you can gain understanding, release stuck emotions, and leave with actionable insights that make a real difference in your life.

Fits Your Life: Focused blocks of therapy mean you don’t have to juggle weekly appointments, giving you more space and energy for the other parts of life you value.

Time and Cost-Efficient: Achieve meaningful change in fewer sessions, reducing the overall time and expense of long-term traditional therapy.

Supervision & Workshops

Individual supervision for therapists building practices rooted in trauma-informed care and social consciousness. These sessions provide a relational, reflective space to support both clinical growth and personal development.

Group supervision is available to encourage connection, collaboration, and peer consultation. These groups foster accessibility, build confidence, and create opportunities to learn in community.

Workshops and trainings tailored to meet the unique needs of your organization. Past facilitation includes work with the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton, MacEwan University, the University of Alberta, Edmonton Catholic Schools, and local counselling practices.

Are you a clinician working with someone you think could benefit from a Therapy Intensive format?

Intensives can supplement the relationship you have already established with your client; it doesn’t replace it. My goal is to form a treatment team with you and your client, helping them address and resolve any stuck points or break through any plateaus that may be coming up in therapy. It works in conjunction with the deep work you’ve already been doing with your client.
