Hello!

My name is Vanessa Lacoursiere. I am a Master Social Worker, Addictions Specialist, Trauma-Informed Professional Mental Health therapist, and I look forward to collaborating with you on your concerns!

For services, I can provide mental health counselling, psychoeducation facilitation, psychotherapy, coaching, and consultations. Please note that all of these services are also available within Resolutions & Solutions Counselling Services treatment program plan designs that are tailored to meet your needs within our continuum of care program service model for individuals, couples, and families, ages 15-up.

A little about me, I believe, “you can’t really know where you are going until you know where you’ve been!” Maya Angelou.

This statement speaks to my passion and experience for self-exploration that I think is very necessary to find resolve to solve for next step to achieve your goals. Finding resolve, for example, highlights a human psychological need to have the mental clarity to create a direction forward that best suits our individually chosen paths; further, when reflecting on my own personal and professional development process, I’ve been fortunate to overcome many adverse life experiences that enables me a keen lens to help others through similar challenges. Also, with the complex challenges simply living our lives can bring, I am passionate about my effort to provide both resolutions and solutions within a single session.

When we think about the rules that guide our choices or paths in life, both personally and professionally, I value health and safety principles and ‘wholistic’ wellness concepts; from Dr. Gabor Mate’s perspective, we cannot heal anything without connection to loving supports and laughter!

In terms of my professional experience, I have worked and provided support to clients with a spectrum of challenges in the areas of intra/interpersonal relationships, romantic relationships, burnout, Domestic Violence, the Criminal/Family Justice System, Addictions (behaviour and chemical), and Indigenous Advocacy roles. It is important to note that all of my effort is towards working to tailor and collaborate with clients on ‘Evidenced Best Practice’ approaches and treatment plans to focus on wellness outcome goals.

Medically, I have experience working with medical mental health symptomology and serious mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, panic, and other physiological stress response symptoms that are also experienced from many clinical diagnoses such as BPD, MDD, ADHD, Bipolar, Concurrent (Addictions and mental health diagnosis), Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorders. Moving forward, my professional goal is to support the integration of a neurobiological model’s lens with a keen focus on environmental issues and bird’s eye view effort to reduce cultural oppression.

Additional Qualifications/professional technical skills include:

  1. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

  2. Solution Focused Behaviour Therapy (SFBT)

  3. Traumatic Incident Reductions Therapy (TIR)

  4. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  5. Narrative Therapy (NT)

  6. Motivational Interviewing (MI)
