Our Services
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
Individual counselling is a personal opportunity to receive support and experience growth. We work with clients one-on-one in a safe, caring, and confidential environment to help support issues including anger, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage and relationship challenges, parenting problems, school difficulties, career changes and more.
COUPLES THERAPY
If you’re having difficulties in an intimate relationship and efforts to resolve them with your partner aren’t working, couples counselling is an option worth considering. Couples or marriage counselling can help to break down barriers, improve communication, and rebuild the connection that brought you together in the first place.
FAMILY THERAPY
Family therapy is designed to improve communication, resolve conflicts and strengthen family relationships. It can be helpful when families feel overwhelmed, stuck in negative patterns, or are dealing with life changes such as illness, mental health challenges, substance use, unemployment, moving, divorce, trauma, sibling rivalry, ageing or grief.
EMDR THERAPY
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a technique proven to effectively treat troubling symptoms stemming from trauma, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, phobias, sleep disturbances and panic attacks. During EMDR therapy sessions, you relive traumatic or triggering experiences in brief doses while the therapist directs your eye movements.
PLAY THERAPY
Play therapy helps children to express feelings through play. This method offers children a safe and natural way to process challenging emotions or memories, even when they may not have the words to describe them. Within a relaxed, comfortable playroom environment, our therapists observe and guide children as they work through emotions in a self-directed, healing way.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a proven, evidence-based approach to mental health care that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression or other challenges, CBT can help you gain the tools and insights needed to create lasting, positive change in your life.
FIRST RESPONDERS AND ESSENTIAL WORKERS
First responders and front-line workers face tremendous challenges on the job, often resulting in mental health issues. We have a passion for improving the mental health of first responders and removing the barriers and stigma that go along with seeking mental health support. We offer in-person and online therapy for first responders and military personnel.
GENDER AFFIRMING CARE
A holistic, client-centred approach that respects and celebrates your identity. Whether you’re questioning your gender, navigating transition or seeking a safe space to talk, our services are designed to meet you where you are. We offer support for individuals across the gender spectrum, including transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer and gender nonconforming individuals.
ONLINE THERAPY
In our fast-paced world, convenience is essential. Whether you're balancing work duties, family obligations, or simply enjoy the comfort of your own home, online therapy is an ideal solution designed to fit your modern lifestyle. At Laura Gatien and Associates, we offer online therapy to residents across New Brunswick. Whatever difficulties you’re encountering, we’re here to assist you in discovering the best solutions for your needs.
SEX THERAPY
Our sex therapy services are designed to help individuals and couples address various challenges related to sexuality, intimacy, and relationships. Whether you’re experiencing issues with desire, communication, sexual function or navigating life changes affecting your intimate life, our compassionate, non-judgmental therapists provide a safe space to explore these topics openly.
CHILDREN & TEEN THERAPY
Life can be challenging at any age, but childhood and adolescence bring unique hurdles. At Laura Gatien & Associates, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to the needs of children and teens. We strive to create a safe space where young individuals can explore their feelings, build resilience and thrive.
ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a structured, evidence-based breakthrough treatment that helps individuals process and resolve difficult memories and emotional experiences quickly and effectively. ART uses eye movement techniques and guided visualization to reframe distressing memories and replace them with more positive images.
SOMATIC THERAPY
Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to healing that focuses on the mind-body connection. It recognizes that trauma, stress and emotional pain are often stored in the body, not just the mind. By integrating talk therapy with body-based techniques like breathwork, movement and mindfulness, somatic therapy helps release stored tension, improve emotional regulation and promote well-being.
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOUR THERAPY (dbt)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, skills-based treatment that blends behavioural change strategies with an emphasis on mindfulness and acceptance. DBT focuses on helping people accept the reality of their lives and their behaviours, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviours.
