I specialize in working with RCMP members and spouses, other first responders and their spouses, veterans, trauma and PTSD, and rural, remote, and very remote clients. I am not currently accepting new clients. While I have my specializations, I work with a variety of individuals and issues including grief, anxiety, depression, parenting, burnout, etc. If you appreciate a direct approach when needed, with space for joking when it’s appropriate, and you want to work together on your goals, you could be in the right place! Email is the most efficient way to contact me!
Trust and comfort take time. You might not be sure about the virtual-only office but there are great benefits. If you are an RCMP member, other police member or first responder, CAF member, veteran, or family/spouse of any of these, you are in the right place. Even though I haven’t had boots on the ground, being part of the family, I get how things can be.
I work to make my online office space private, secure, comfortable, and relaxed. To learn more about me and my approaches, feel free to explore my clinic website (linked). You can contact me through links on this page or via the information listed on my website. I offer a free 15 minute consultation phone call to see if working with me feels like a fit.
Call or Dr. Laura Friesen now for a free 15 minute consultation - (867) 675-5700

In the first session, we go over the consent forms and points like confidentiality, payment, the cancellation policy, and a few more things. Then I like to spend some time getting to know my clients more, what they are going through, and what their goals are. Clients are welcomed to ask about my training, my approaches, and what therapy is like throughout the process.
