Founder & Owner
Katelyn Matias
Registered Psychotherapist, CRPO #10340
Hi, I’m Katelyn Matias, a Registered Psychotherapist and the Founder of Anchor & Bloom Psychotherapy. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in attachment theory.
I believe that our experiences, relationships, and nervous system responses shape how we understand ourselves, navigate emotions, and connect with others.

A short hello before you book.
Forty seconds from Katelyn on who she works with and what therapy at Anchor & Bloom feels like.
How Katelyn works
Therapy that moves at your pace.
Sessions move between reflection, regulation, and pattern work, informed by polyvagal theory, attachment, and trauma research.
How I work.
Many of the challenges we face, such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck in recurring patterns, can often be rooted in earlier experiences and unmet needs. My role is to help you better understand these patterns while providing the support and tools needed to create meaningful change.
Because every person’s story is unique, I tailor therapy to your individual goals, values, and concerns. I view therapy as a collaborative process where you are the expert on your own life. Whether you’re processing past experiences, navigating a life transition, working through relationship challenges, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for healing, growth, and self-discovery.
When working with couples, I help partners identify and de-escalate negative interaction cycles, strengthen emotional safety, improve communication, and foster deeper connection through secure attachment. My goal is to help each partner feel heard, understood, and supported in creating a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re seeking support as an individual or a couple, I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you build greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and more meaningful connections.
