Katie Dutot
Katie is a therapist in London, Ontario, who believes that healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, seen, and maybe even a little playful. Katie brings warmth, humor, and authenticity into each session because she knows therapy doesn’t have to feel so heavy all the time—it can also be a space for self-discovery, growth, and connection. Katie incorporates a fun and flexible approach into therapy because life is complex, and sometimes creativity is the key to unlocking breakthroughs. Whether through humor, storytelling, or practical tools, her goal is to make therapy feel approachable and empowering.

As a South Asian woman, Sarika understands how cultural values influence family matters, especially for women. Sarika’s background in law has also shown her how issues like parenting conflicts or domestic violence can deeply affect wellbeing. And as someone who has felt the pain of losing a pet, she is passionate about supporting others through the grief of pet loss or the emotional challenges of caring for animals.

Therapy with Danielle isn’t about following a script—it’s about co-creating a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and empowered. Danielle brings a dynamic, down-to-earth energy to sessions, blending deep listening with thought-provoking (and sometimes unexpected) questions that help you connect the dots in ways that actually make sense for you. Danielle tends to pick up on what’s not being said, gently guiding you toward self-discovery without forcing anything. Her goal is to create a space where you can explore, heal, and grow in a way that feels right for you. Growth happens in connection—let’s find a way forward together.
