Yvonne Paquette, MSW, RSW, Similar to a puzzle or a painting, we often need to step back from something to figure out how it works or where to go next. Easier said than done? That’s where I can help you. I create a safe & dedicated space where you can get out of your head by unpacking what’s in there. With gentle guidance & a commitment to non-judgement & the messiness of learning & healing, together we will make clear what is important to you, what is blocking you, your innate strengths, what you want to do, & how you can achieve a more fulfilling life. My helping approach is person-centered & anti-oppressive. I will meet you where you are at, & we’ll go from there, together.

I take a compassionate, client-centered, and collaborative approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that our struggles often make sense in the context of our unique life experiences, relationships, and the broader systems we navigate. My goal is to help you build greater self-awareness, resilience, and connection as you move toward the life you want.

My work is grounded in a humanistic, person-centred approach, with training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, along with trauma-informed parts work. I see clients as active partners in the therapeutic process and strive to integrate these approaches to support meaningful emotional processing while keeping the work safe, paced, and manageable.

Together, we explore emotional experiences, uncover relational and personal patterns and “parts” of oneself, and develop insight into how past experiences shape present challenges. At the same time, we focus on practical ways to respond to these experiences that feel aligned and sustainable in your daily life. My approach balances depth with structure, creating a space that is grounded, supportive, and authentic. Therapy can be serious work—but it can also leave room for humour, connection, and humanity along the way.

(Online or In Office)

The stories we tell ourselves about who we are often are not our own. We build our sense of self through our experiences with significant people over the course of our lives. Sometimes, though, we get to a point in the life where the way we are living no longer aligns with the person we want to be, and that can be painful.
