Biographie de Kate Mageau
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a domestic violence and intimate partner violence survivor. After I experienced abuse, I attended a support group at a domestic violence advocacy agency and learned about the cycle of abuse. I also saw a mental health counselor who taught me more about abuse and how to heal from it. Five years later, in 2019, I returned to the same agency and volunteered my time to co-facilitate the same support group, where I continued to learn even more about the abuse.
I am currently in my last year in a Master's of Counseling Education, specializing in Mental Health Counseling, where I am learning further more about abuse and domestic violence.
And if you think that isn't enough, I am also in an internship at an agency that specializes in helping domestic violence survivors heal from abuse, where I - you guessed it -learn even more about abuse. When I graduate in December of 2022, I plan to continue helping domestic violence survivors as a mental health counselor.
I also enjoy my life and spend time not thinking about abuse! I enjoy kayaking, reading, writing, painting, traveling, cooking, gardening, and spending time with those I love - my family, my friends, my wonderful and supportive boyfriend who is nothing like my ex, and my cat, Penelope.
