You’re probably feeling overwhelmed, having scrolled through a million profiles and not sure who to pick to reach out to! Bottom line, you won’t know if a therapist is a good fit for you until you really get to know them. Much like a pair of shoes, you gotta try them on! Because the most important part of successful therapy is feeling comfortable and connected with your therapist. As a therapist, I try to create an atmosphere based on that famous east coast hospitality that we Newfoundlanders are so well known – a sense of warmth, comfort, connection and genuine caring.

If changing your relationship with alcohol and/or other drugs is a challenge, you do not need to figure it out alone. I provide individual counselling designed to support you in being able to reduce the negative impacts of substance use, and increase your quality of life. I work within a compassionate, trauma-informed, harm reduction approach. Even if your goal is complete abstinence, when we work within a harm reduction approach, it means that we work collaboratively, we acknowledge benefits of substance use, and we focus on your strengths which all lead to creating sustainable change. Currently providing phone and video sessions.

Addiction is a multifaceted and complicated process. Although there is a commonality between various expressions of addiction, individuals are also unique and require personalized treatment. I endeavor to provide my clients with the best possible counselling based on the most current thinking in the area of addiction. I furnish a supportive and non-judgmental environment for clients to explore relevant issues that may be related to substance abuse and behavioural addiction. It is important to recognize that things will get better with dedication and acceptance. I will be there to help guide you through the process.

Lacasse Counselling - Sabrina Lacasse
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, CCAC, CCC

My theory of change is founded on the premise that healing and growth can emerge through nurturing interpersonal connections. I stand by the belief that we are relational beings, meaning that our interactions with others influence our mood, sense of self, and well-being. Through sessions, whether I work with you or your relationship, I facilitate dynamic interventions to create new bonding moments that foster cognitive awareness, emotional regulation, and behavioural changes. As a therapist, my goal is to help you shift from a place of reactiveness and hopelessness to a place of communication and connection.

My aim is to provide each and every client with the support and guidance they are looking for by creating individualized treatment plans. Life's struggles come in many shapes and sizes and focusing on areas in which we have control is a great stepping stone to formulate the life we want to be living, instead of getting stuck in the usual negative thinking that many of us get caught in from time to time.

Hello there, thank you for taking the time to come check out my page today. I know how difficult beginning the process of looking for a therapist can be and I am honored to be one of them. Oftentimes the problems folks are up against can become so overwhelming that it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Together, we can rediscover the ways that you have resisted the influence of the problem, the ways that you have continued to keep moving in the tunnel, and hopefully get a little closer to that light. My work is guided primarily by Narrative Therapy, as I lean on these ideas to further explore the stories of your life.
Richard Merrill Haney Ph.D.
PhD, MEd, BA
I provide warm, heart-connected and empathetic counselling, coaching, mediation and hypnotherapy services to individuals, couples and families. I concentrate on "wholistic" healing and empowerment rather than on being clinical and "helping". Basically, I form what I call a "Healing Partnership" with the people who come for my services. I tend to be quite eclectic and bring a wide range of skills, techniques, modalities and wisdom to each counselling interaction. Please contact me to enhance your life and to make the most of each moment.
My favourite slogan is: "Listening well is the most eloquent sign of caring."

Much of life can be spent in an attempt to balance multiple factors that affect us, such as relationships, work, careers, stress, unpredictability, and self understanding. Our minds attempt to develop appropriate strategies to maintain balance based on experience and learning. Much of the time, we may be using these strategies habitually. A critical step towards developing mental health can be acquiring a mindful awareness of the strategies that we operate out of, so as to understand their purpose and adjust them when necessary. Such steps can help create a stronger balance and develop a deepened appreciation of ourselves.

Many have started to notice problems in their sleep, mood, relationships, or work/school performance. Sometimes they aren't sure what's going wrong and they need help to identify the problem. Sometimes they know what they need to do, but they don't seem to be able to do it. That's where therapy can help.
