our story
Our founder, Sabrina Lacasse, brings nearly a decade of experience from various clinical settings. Throughout her career, she observed the profound uniqueness of each individual's mental health journey. She witnessed what is often referred to as the "revolving door" phenomenon: individuals embarking on a path to healing, making progress, only to be drawn back into familiar struggles. This wasn't merely a reflection of personal challenges but rather indicated broader systemic shortcomings in therapeutic care.
Inspired by these observations and guided by the theoretical framework of Self-in-Relationship Psychotherapy, Sabrina felt a calling towards a more holistic approach to helping individuals and couples. She envisioned a space that went beyond symptom management and aimed to comprehend and address their underlying roots.
With that vision in mind, Lacasse Counselling came into existence – not as a critique of the system, but as a humble endeavour to offer something distinct: a more tailored and profound healing process. Here, our goal is to aid those caught in cycles, granting them an opportunity for sustained well-being.
core areas of practice
Our approach rests on three key pillars:
relationship + communication
intimacy + sexuality
addiction + psychological health
These pillars encompass life's challenges and successes. Relationships shape interactions, intimacy strengthens connections, and coping mechanisms impact emotional growth. Prioritizing these areas helps us tackle common issues, guiding individuals and couples to more meaningful, resilient lives.
