Every human is unique, and I ensure that the counselling journey encompasses this by utilizing a variety of techniques and modalities. Each persons individual needs will be catered to, and your experience will be individualized and finely tailored. Here are some examples of the techniques and modalities that I use during our sessions; cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy, person centered, family systems/dynamics, humanistic, interpersonal, empathetic listening, trauma focused, narrative therapy, and playtherapy.

I am Joannie Dubé, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I have worked in the field of community services for the past five years supporting children with developmental disabilities and adults diagnosed with various mental health disorders. I spent three years implementing recreational programs for elderly people and I am familiar with the challenges of aging and related diseases such as dementia, Parkinson’s, and other conditions. I also have experience with supporting adult children who are caregivers for their aging parents. Issues that I address with my clients range from relationships problems, family conflicts, self-esteem, stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, to chronic pain. When working with me, you can expect warmth, compassion, and an authentic demeanor. I am committed to making our sessions as comfortable as possible to help you address the uncomfortable. While I consider myself goal oriented, I will accompany you through your moments of self-discovery, self-doubt, and complete stagnation. Everyone’s journey is different, and healing happens when we give it time and space: space for integration, processing, and being. I will honour your process as we look at what is meaningful to you and what resonates with you. My creative brain loves to look at people holistically. I work from a person-centered lens to which I integrate various therapeutic approaches to best suit the needs of each of my clients. I am a big fan of mindfulness and anything somatic. I embrace diversity and strive to be a safe person for individuals from all cultural backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, and walks-of-life. I am happy to meet you in person or virtually, and I offer my services in English and French.

My name is Taylor Hagerman and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO. My masters degree is in Counselling Psychology and I have an undergraduate degree in Criminology and Psychology. During my masters degree I completed my clinical practicum hours providing trauma counselling to survivors of sexual violence, where I practiced a variety of therapeutic modalities with both individuals and groups.

Prior to starting my psychotherapy journey I have had several years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of roles with individuals experiencing a wide range of challenges including complex mental health disorders, addictions, homelessness, developmental delays, neurodivergence and complex trauma.

I believe in a holistic, client-centered and collaborative approach to psychotherapy. I believe that the client is the expert in their own story and a counsellors job is to provide the space, tools and support to aid in the clients journey to personal growth. I believe that change and healing is possible and that all people have unique qualities and experiences. My goal is for you to feel seen, heard and valued. I strive to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space where we can work together to identify your values, strengths, and the steps you want to take to move forward. I believe in incorporating a variety of therapeutic approaches to best fit the clients individual needs and goals.

I am passionate about working with youth and young adults to manage a variety of mental health related challenges. This includes, but is not limited to; trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, neurodivergence, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, coping with daily stressors, and relationships.

I am a mom to two energetic, determined, beautiful little humans. whom I share with my very supportive and encouraging husband. We have been on a crash course of parenting since 2016.

Originally from Ontario, we moved to British Columbia in 2019, so I could pursue a career in counselling. As of August 2022, we are heading back to Ontario, to start our next chapter as a family and settle into a new town, Kingston, ON. Hoping to continue to connect with what we love; nature, exploring, adventure, and all that the outdoors has to offer.

In my work as a counsellor, I have had the pleasure of working and assisting a variety of clients of all ages, genders and abilities work through their concerns and issues. These include trauma; physical, verbal, sexual, and psychological, grief, addictions, acquired brain injuries, personality disorders, depression, and anxiety.

One of my strengths as a counsellor is my ability to help a client tune out the noise, and focus on the root of the concern. I strive to be a patient partner in the journey and allow clients to go at their own pace during the counselling process.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I look forward to connecting soon.
