Hello & Welcome!

Feeling overwhelmed or stuck?
Let's work together to find clarity and a path forward.

As a psychotherapist with over ten years of experience in mental health and addiction counselling, I support teenagers and adults dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, separation/divorce, bullying, low self-esteem, abuse, grief, and trauma.
​
Through virtual counselling, I offer a space that is:
-
Non-Judgmental
-
Confidential
-
Emotionally and Culturally Safe
-
Objective & Non-Biased

Feel free to schedule a free 15-minute telephone consultation to explore how we can work together.
I’m here to help you take that important first step!
Valérie Gosselin, Owner, Registered Psychotherapist
My Therapeutic Approach
About me: I hold a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology and have over ten years of experience working as a mental health and addiction counsellor. I'm fluent in both English and French.
I offer culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and inclusive therapy that respects your unique background and values.
​
After a transformative personal experience with therapy, I transitioned from a 15-year career in finance & admin to become a psychotherapist. My goal is to help you discover your own strength and navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
​
My Approach: As your counsellor, I see you as the expert in your own life. My role is to empower you to make decisions that align with your values, using a blend of evidence-based techniques (CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and more) and a humanistic, empathetic approach.
Investment: Many employer benefit plans cover psychotherapy services, which may make your sessions free or low-cost. Be sure to check your eligibility! Payment is due after each session, and you'll receive a detailed receipt for reimbursement. Additionally, you can claim psychotherapy services as a medical expense on your Ontario income tax return.
Security: Your privacy is a top priority. All data and online video sessions are fully compliant with PHIPA and PIPEDA and are encrypted to the same high standards as online banking.
Virtual Individual Psychotherapy - Youth 12+ & Adults
Session Fee (50mins) $150
Together, we’ll explore the difficult emotions and experiences you’re navigating, and I’ll guide you in developing practical coping strategies to regain clarity, restore balance, and improve your overall quality of life.
Not sure if therapy is right for you? I invite you to schedule a free consultation. This is your chance to ask questions, learn more about my approach, and see if we’re a good fit to work together on your journey toward healing and growth.
Goal-Focused Coaching
Session Fee (50mins) $150
Coaching helps individuals set and achieve specific goals, enhance personal growth, and build healthier habits by providing guidance, accountability, and strategic support.
Unlike psychotherapy, which helps individuals process and heal emotions, coaching is future-focused and action-oriented, empowering clients to unlock their potential and achieve their desired outcomes. Coaching can help you change habits like quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, improving exercise, eating healthier, or any other behavior you want to transform.
'' Understanding Your Anger ''
Anger Management Therapy
Session Fee (50mins) $150
If you struggle with managing your anger, we’ll work together to identify the primary emotions and personal triggers that activate it. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), you’ll learn effective coping mechanisms to improve emotional regulation and respond more constructively. Change takes time, so be patient and kind to yourself—you’ve got this, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Free 15-min Telephone Consultation
A pre-therapy consultation gives you the opportunity to ask questions about my approach and qualifications, helping you decide if we’re a good fit. If my approach doesn’t feel right or you don’t feel a connection, I understand therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I’m happy to provide referrals to other options. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is essential, so feel free to explore your choices!
