Katrine Banaghan Head Shot

Hi, I’m Katrine! I know from my 20 years of working with children in diverse settings that there is no one-size-fits-all model to effectively meet kids’ needs.

That’s why I trained extensively in so many different modalities of therapy. As a Registered Play Therapist – Supervisor and Certified EMDR therapist, I draw from an extensive toolkit to provide an individualized approach that will meet your needs.

I offer diagnosis-free counseling, and I also offer more than therapy! Explore all of my services to see what might be a good fit for you.
