Pascale Thompson

Seeking help is an important step to take when facing life's challenges and emotional struggles. It is also an act of self-compassion, demonstrating a commitment to one's well-being and the pursuit of a happier, healthier future. I applaud you for taking this first step of seeking a clinician who aligns with your values. I would be delighted to have the opportunity to accompany you through the next stages of this process.

 

I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for self-exploration to assist individuals in gaining perspective on their thoughts and emotions, developing coping strategies, and ultimately leading a more fulfilling life. In individual therapy, I work with adults dealing with concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, sexuality, grief, trauma, emotional regulation, eating disorders, and identity. It’s important for me to mention that I serve a diverse clientele, whether that may be related to cultural, ethnic, religious, spiritual, or sexual diversity (2SLGBTQI+).

 

My therapeutic approach is integrative, primarily drawing from a psychodynamic approach while incorporating tools from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), among others, to meet the specific needs of each client.

 

I completed a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a specialization in Applied Intervention at the University of Quebec in Outaouais and a Master's degree in Counseling, Psychotherapy, and Spirituality at Saint-Paul University. I am a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), a Certified Canadian Counsellor (C.C.C.) through the CACEP program and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I offer services online and in-person, in either French or English.

 

Some of my core values in my therapeutic work include compassion, empathy, authenticity, respect, collaboration, and an open-minded approach. If my profile resonates with you, I would be more than happy to accompany you on your journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and healing.
