Unbecoming and becoming. In my strong opinion this is what therapy is about. For many people it is difficult to get through childhood unscathed. Unfortunately, traumatic experiences are a part of life. Through these wounds, we create masks and walls within us, and acquire unhealthy and unhelpful coping skills, keeping us chained to our past. Our childhood experiences, whether we remember them or not, are interwoven into the fabric of our being and how we live our lives and do relationships. Every person needs and deserves to be seen, heard, understood, and gotten, which leads to love, acceptance, and connection.

Welcome! I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate healing and positive change. With empathy, understanding, and compassion I am committed to creating a safe and nonjudgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or simply seeking personal growth, I will support you every step of the way.

Are you frustrated with your child’s behavior? Are you receiving phone calls from your child’s school? Is your child having difficulty regulating emotions and following directions? Both parents and children become frustrated and their relationship suffers. I use the language of play to connect with children and help them learn to express their needs in a safe manner. I specialize in working with children who have difficulty managing emotions and behavior at home and at school.

Just about everyone experiences difficult times in their lives. From milestone transitions to severe trauma, you can feel weighed down with sadness, frustration, worry, and fear. For many, coping with your feelings is monumental and it spills over into everyday life, robbing you of joy and peace. As your therapist my focus is your emotional wellbeing. I provide a safe space for you to express your thoughts and feelings. I endeavor to understand your perspective and to help you clarify what you want for yourself in therapy and in life. My method is collaborative, compassionate and adaptable to your individual needs and objectives.

Dr. Thouin has over 25 years of experience in the behavioral health field working with children, adults and families. As a psychotherapist, she provides individual and group therapy, while specializing in substance use disorders, addictions, and co-occurring disorders (trauma, grief, depression, anxiety).

Do you feel like you are having a hard time connecting with loved ones? I have over ten years of experience in providing therapy services to children, families, and adults. I believe that asking for help and support is a show of strength and courage. It can be difficult to admit you are ready to make changes in your life and identify habits and patterns that are not benefiting you. I can support you and walk along side you as you make those changes in order to achieve greater life satisfaction and healthier relationships.

Navigating through changes and transitions can be challenging and alienating. I offer a new perspective and a helpful therapeutic partnership. I feel it is a true privilege to be part of one's healing journey. My practice is inspired by Person Centered Therapy and a diverse study of methods ranging from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance, Commitment, and strengths-based therapy. I believe that no two clients are the same, and that a practice must be an individualized collaboration based on mutual authenticity and honesty. These are among the compassionate qualities which allow for a genuine therapeutic alliance.

As we know, life does not always work the way we want it to work. Our well-meaning attempts to make life work, too often become patterns that keep us from fulfilling the life we were made to live. When we can’t change these patterns, we get stuck. When life isn’t working, we need help. And NO, It’s never too late to change. Therapy is a collaborative, interactive process between patient and therapist. During this process, the therapist can treat specific issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, adjustments, sexual integrity, trauma, etc.) or everyday concerns (e.g. relationships and family problems, career issues, etc.).

I believe that lasting change is a process and not an event. Whether you interested in establishing sobriety, addressing relapse, or have been sober for a while and want to work on underlying issues, I welcome you. I believe that most often substance use is a symptom of underlying issues and people are self-medicating. If these issues are not addressed a person will relapse. I specialize in co-occurring disorders including Depression, Bi-polar Disorder, Anxiety and Trauma. I have over twenty years of both personal and professional experience in addiction recovery.

I believe it is helpful to have a safe place where you feel heard and supported. My aim is to assist you in identifying your strengths to improve your relationship with yourself and others. I believe your needs are unique which is why I use an integrative approach when working with individuals. I provide strength-based interventions to assist you in uncovering your own resilience to manage challenges as well as to grow and improve your overall quality of life.

Have you been struggling with trauma, emotional pain, thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or lack of support? Or have you experienced grief, loss, or complications in your relationships? Whether these feelings are temporary or lifelong, we do not need to continue with struggling alone. If life has been difficult or unmanageable, we can come together to find balance, understanding, and relief. In addition to therapy services, I offer Clinical Supervision to therapy licensees to guide them on their journey of licensure, providing ethical and compassionate supervision. Sessions offered in person or telehealth, weekends and evenings.

For over years, I have worked successfully with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents and groups, in private practice and in-hospital, to achieve their therapeutic goals. I offer you a warm, supportive environment where you can safely explore your feelings, thoughts, and problems. I will engage with you in a highly interactive style and provide direct feedback. I especially enjoy working with couples to improve their lives together, and guiding people who are in search of a healthy relationship.

I believe in the resilience of each person and bring a great deal of my own creativity and energy to each of my clients. I strive to be respectful and supportive of those I work with, and am always mindful that I am working for you, to your benefit.

The heart of my work combines gentleness, strength, and evidence-based approaches with an intuitive understanding. I use inner and outer resources to support people, and sometimes laughter and irony along the way. Attending to banished voices, lost dreams, inner-child work, saboteurs, and avoidance helps to get people where they want to go. I utilize EMDR, have worked in grief support and inpatient. In addition, applying well-known factors in the neuropsychology of learning optimizes change. In practice, it all comes together using structure, flow, and clinical assessment.

I understand how changes and challenges in life, especially now, can “throw a curve ball” into plans. This can create stress and a feeling of being overwhelmed or out of control. We all, at times, require a little help, encouragement, guidance from someone who can listen and receive without judgement. This is my calling, my “job”, to help you find the best version of yourself and develop skills to deal with life’s stressors. I feel my approach is a little different than others, kind of like two people sitting at a table, brainstorming both root causes and resolutions for your situation.

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, which uses a body-oriented approach for the healing of trauma and other stress disorders, founded by Dr. Peter Levine.
