What makes us unique?
We believe in the value of collaboration - not just between therapist and client, but also among our team of professionals. Our therapists regularly engage in professional consultations and supervision to deepen their understanding and enhance the therapeutic process.
Our commitment to individual attention and collective wisdom sets us apart. All our therapists share a common psychological framework rooted in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles. This shared foundation provides a consistent and cohesive therapeutic experience while tailoring our interventions to your needs.
Furthermore, every member of our team is dedicated to continuous growth, knowing that high-quality care comes from the ongoing refinement of clinical skills and theoretical knowledge. Through advanced training, workshops, and regular professional collaboration, we ensure that the support you receive is always evolving and improving, providing you with the best possible care.
our story
Our founder, Sabrina Lacasse, brings over a decade of experience from various clinical settings in Ottawa. Throughout her career, Sabrina 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 individual 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. Our goal is to aid those caught in repetitive cycles, granting them an opportunity for change, inner growth, and sustained well-being.
