Hi, I’m Lisa Gagnon (Gawn-yo), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in helping individuals, couples, and families with anxiety, depression, communication issues, and feeling stuck. I work with clients 14+ in a warm, empathetic space, focusing on uncovering negative thought patterns and core beliefs that hold you back. What sets my practice apart is my no-nonsense yet caring approach. I offer direct guidance while supporting you in taking proactive steps toward healing and growth. Together, we will work on developing healthier ways of thinking, communicating, and navigating life’s obstacles.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, I'll focus on getting to know you – your background, experiences, and what brings you to therapy. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where you can share openly. As we talk, I'll listen carefully to your concerns and begin to collaborate with you on activities and strategies tailored to your needs. This will help us start you on a path toward improved mental well-being.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I strive to create a supportive and understanding space by listening empathetically to your concerns. I believe in the power of humor to help navigate challenging situations, and I'll use it thoughtfully when appropriate. My goal is to empower you to cultivate positive thoughts and actions that lead to lasting improvements in your life

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

It's incredibly rewarding to empower individuals to navigate the challenges of anxiety and depression. Collaborating to discover effective coping strategies, build self-esteem, and set achievable goals is a fulfilling process. Equally gratifying is guiding couples towards healthier communication patterns and helping them overcome obstacles like distrust, and enabling them to fostering stronger and more fulfilling relationships. There's a profound sense of purpose in providing support and witnessing people flourish as they gain the tools to manage their mental health and improve their connections with others.
