We all have a purpose in life; for some, it is clear from an early age, and for others, it may take some time. You may be at the crossroads of trying to figure out your meaning in life or understanding your purpose. It can be difficult and scary to move forward when the path is unclear. Especially, when we have the feeling that we do not have the full picture. I am already proud of you for seeking and asking for help. As the doubt and the “what-ifs” become louder; you may be hesitant in taking the next step. It all starts with understanding yourself

Addiction is powerful, but so are you! Sometimes, all people need is a little help remembering how much power they have within themselves. It is easy to fall into the trap of constantly feeling like you are not good enough. Developing a solid sense of self can be achieved by exploring your feelings, finding meaning in your life, and focusing on your strengths. My vision for the people I work with is to support them in finding freedom, rebuilding their lives, and using their strengths to reach their goals.

Hello, my name is Shayna Provencher and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am a firm believer that we all deserve the opportunity to engage in self-care to increase our mental wellness. It's hard sometimes to make ourselves a priority especially when it comes to tending to our emotional needs and mental health. However, taking time for yourself and prioritizing your needs is what the therapeutic process is all about. The journey to self discovery and self empowerment often begins with having an open conversation about the internal struggles we may face and how they impact our daily lives.

I work with all populations (children, adults, elderly, couples and families). I come from an attachment, trauma and family systems perspective. I have extensively treated several mental health and substance use disorders. I focus on the strengths of the individual or family as well as their goals for engaging in treatment. I work collaboratively with community partners including schools, Primary Care, Psychiatry and any individuals or organizations involved with the care of the client.

I have been working with grief, both normal and complicated, for over 30 years and have specialized training in treating both. For those who are going through a normal albeit difficult time coping with the loss of a loved one, or if you are a caregiver for someone with a stressful illness (e.g., cancer, Alzheimer's), help is here. I also have extensive experience in treating the needs of the LGBTQ community. I strongly prefer to meet clients in person due to the type of interventions I utilize that are more effective this way.

Tween, Adolescent and Adults - I'm listening! Hi I'm Patricia. I understand the importance of being able to navigate life's challenges. Tweens - I get it's important to be liked by your peers, fit in socially and academically. Adolescents - life's demands are intense with expectations coming at you from every angle. Stress is real. Adults - you deal with a million and one concerns including work stress, finances, dating or marriage, depression, domestic violence, anxiety or other life transitions. Sometimes a neutral person is needed to help you explore your thoughts and feeling. I am here to listen.

Think of life as a baseball game, you are up to bat, unsure of what the pitcher will throw at you and how you will approach whatever is thrown your way. This is where I want to step in. You have all the skills; we just have to uncover the approach. In life, we are thrown many curveballs, we take unexpected paths and roads, but the ultimate goal is to get us back to home plate. Home plate meaning back to some type of balance of comfort that makes us feel good. Are you ready to step up to bat?

I am an experienced, engaging licensed professional counselor who brings warmth, humor and acceptance into my practice. My approach is strength-based, client centered and relationship-based to meet the individual needs of each client. I have found that a trusting relationship allows me to fully understand the person, provides an opportunity to work together, and allows us to explore the challenges that you are facing while working toward achieving your specific goals.

My practice is about solving problems, from relatively simple ones like smoking, weight control, or sleep issues, to deeper ones like fears and phobias, and, complex, chronic illnesses that almost invariably have multi-faceted emotional roots. Of course, chronic illnesses can rarely be dealt with as easily and quickly as, say, insomnia, smoking cessation, teeth grinding, or TMJ problems. Habits and simple fears and phobias mostly respond very well to the application of skilled Direct-Suggestion hypnosis. However, Healing Hypnosis, my specialty, is a more intensive and deeper process. That aims to get to the root of problems.

Please Note: (I am unable to take Anthem BC/BS clients currently). It can be overwhelming to know how to ask for help. If you do not know where to turn; or if you are struggling, don't try to face it alone. Let me be your guide.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems theory, meditation, mindfulness, a sense of joy and humor to help clients and families be the best version of themselves.
