My name is Dean H. Laviolette, I am a registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology. I have also completed degrees in Child & Youth Care and Social Work.
I have always known that I wanted to work with people in a helping capacity and my career has involved many opportunities to enhance my formal education with life experience involving people from all walks of life.
My approach is to build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect in a safe environment. Being empathetic and genuine is my commitment to quality of care to clients without being judgmental.
The use of mindfulness-based approaches seem to help clients self-explore, become self-aware, and learn self-care.
