Stephanie Fournier
(She/her) MC, RP 
Registered Psychotherapist 

Do you ever feel like you are your own worst critic? Do you have trouble “turning off” the negative thoughts in your head? Or do you spend too much time worrying about the future or dwelling in the past? I work with adults who are experiencing low self-esteem, self-criticism, and anxiety. Putting the brakes on your busy life and slowing down to look inward can help reduce the pull toward distractions or unhealthy habits when you’re feeling unwell. It takes courage to ask for help, explore meaningful questions, and practice self-compassion. The path toward self-love can look different for each of us, shaped by our unique life experiences.

 

 

Stephanie also works with couples who feel stuck in recurring patterns of conflict, emotional distance, or disconnection. As a trained Emotionally Focused Therapist, she draws on attachment theory to help partners better understand their emotional needs, strengthen secure bonds, and foster deeper connection. Together, you will explore the underlying emotions and attachment patterns that shape how partners relate to one another, creating space for greater safety, responsiveness, and closeness.

 

Setting boundaries, stress management, assertiveness, and forgiveness are some of the ways individuals and couples can begin to move toward healthier relationships—with themselves and with others. In the comfort and privacy of her therapy practice, you can expect to explore and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, build resilience, and view your experiences through a new lens.

 

Stephanie's personal approach to counselling is anti-oppressive and client-centred. She draws on lived experiences with loved ones who are immigrants or second-generation immigrants, as well as members of the LGBTQ2SIA+ community. Her work integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. Stephanie strives to create a non-judgmental space where you can feel at ease to open up—to be seen, heard, and understood—with warmth and curiosity.
