Hello! My name is Vanessa Lacoursiere. I am a Master Social Worker, Addictions Specialist, and Trauma-Informed Therapist. I am a Professional Mental Health Counsellor on the Psychotherapy For You team and look forward to providing you support. I can provide consultations, treatment plans, and continuum of care referral services for individuals, couples, and families, ages 15-up. A little about me, I believe, “You cannot know where you are going, unless you know where you’ve been!” Nelly McClung. This quote speaks to my passion and experience for self-exploration to find resolve and the clarity required for next steps.
When reflecting on my own personal and professional development process, I’ve been fortunate to overcome adverse experiences in my life that I believe enables me to help others with an increased capacity to empathize. With the complex challenges simply living our lives can bring, I am passionate about my effort to provide both resolutions and solutions.
In terms of my professional experience, I have worked and provided support to clients with a spectrum of issues consisting of intra/interpersonal relationships, romantic relationships, burnout, Domestic Violence, the Criminal/Family Justice System, Addictions (behaviour and chemical), and Indigenous Advocacy challenges.
