Fanny Laurin, Registered Psychotherapist

I work with individuals and couples in English and French. Stress, low moods, shame, trauma, postpartum, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), illness, family, and life transitions are common struggles that I work with. Therefore, when these issues begin to negatively impact your life or become too much to handle, we need help identifying emotions, beliefs, past and current struggles, to find strategies to resolve these issues and achieve our goals. We can work together to find the right tools and skills to cope, grow, and reconnect with ourselves and those around us. I value your lived experiences and will work with you to find the approaches that best fit your needs. Therapy can be a daunting experience, and it can be difficult to find a therapist whose style matches your specific needs. I use an integrative style that combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), completed Gottman Level 1 and 2, and trauma-informed approaches to fit your needs. Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan that best fits your goals. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate, supportive, strength-based, empirically supported, and confidential environment so that clients can feel safe to express themselves and develop a deeper understanding of their emotional and mental processes. We can then work together to choose the specific therapeutic tools needed to heal and reach your goals. I have years of experience working as a counsellor in the community before making the transition to becoming a Registered Psychotherapist. I have a high level of experience working with trauma, anxiety, burnout, depression, stress, postpartum, ADHD, couples, and life transitions.
