The poem, The Imaginary Career (by Rainer Maria Rilke), illustrates exquisitely our human condition. To quote: "At first a childhood, limitless and free" only to become "Defiance- The child bent becomes the bender". To live in that ".. vast, cold empty space, alone" is a very painful place to find oneself. I am here to join with that person in the "empty space" so that they can understand themselves and heal.

I welcome all inquiries concerning counselling and psychotherapeutic help. My goal is to provide a warm and accepting environment where individuals, couples, and families can find help for their life issues. Sometimes it is very difficult for English speaking people to find help in our province. This will not be a problem here.

I have worked in the therapeutic field for upward of 15 years. I offer (licensed) psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. My practice is based on acceptance and kindness. I hold a strong belief that there is no room for judgment. I will work with you to create a therapeutic journey that feeds your personal curiosity, builds upon the strengths you already have and teaches you new techniques for coping with stress and sadness. You will learn to identify your goals, what frustrations you face, what changes you wish to make and how to implement those changes in a safe and honest environment.

It's difficult to take the first step of reaching out when you're in need of support. I get it, I've been there. As a survivor of past trauma, I have had to make the long journey toward healing. No matter what you are trying to heal from or manage, just know that although it can be hard, it's possible, and it's worth it. Whether you're dealing anxiety, depression, past trauma, or anything else, you don't have to do it alone. I'd be honoured to help you find your path. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Lao-Tzu

My practice focuses on exploring the emotional and cognitive processes that impact your well-being on a personal, relational or family level. My approach aims at helping you develop concrete solutions for the issues at hand. My main goal is to offer you a safe space where you will feel heard and understood, but also supported in your quest to feeling better. I pay utmost attention to creating a therapeutical space where my clients can feel at ease.

www.drkarinepaquin.ca------ I am a clinical psychologist, member of the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec. Despite a marked preference for the approach of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), I use an integrative approach borrowing techniques of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and humanism. I can see both couples and individuals.

**Not currently accepting clients**. Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.

I have experience treating depression and anxiety, improving self-esteem and confidence as well as defining one's identity and purpose. Additionally, I help couples navigate life transitions (e.g., becoming parents) and relationship difficulties (e.g., frequent arguments, sexual problems or sense of hopelessness).

UNABLE TO MEET NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME As a licensed psychologist working for over twenty years helping people understand and work through their problems, I bring insight into how thoughts and emotions can overwhelm us. Depression, anxiety, anger, confusion, apathy, low self-worth can take over at times and make us feel despairing and helpless. You may need a professional to sit with you and listen carefully to what you are going through, how it started, and how it's affecting your life. Together, we can find what creates the problem and what to do about it now, helping you to use the insight you acquire to make meaningful change.

Welcome! Do you need guidance to help launch you into the next phase of your life? Feeling lost or unsure of how to proceed? Are you struggling with addiction or recurrent self-sabotaging patterns? I will help you determine what is holding you back from being the person you are meant to be and where your blocks are. I use a holistic method, looking at the entire person- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual and offer a variety of healing and coaching tools. Client's will be met where they are and the coaching program will be adapted to them. Whatever your situation, we can work on a plan of action, together.

My approach uses a combination of talk therapy, creative techniques, and an integration of the five senses.
