With over 15 years of clinical experience, I have developed a strong psychotherapy practice; I work with children, youth, families and adults.

I rely on a Relational approach, whereby I focus first on building a trusting relationship as our foundation so that we can move through your challenges safely. I offer a safe place to explore the challenges you are are up against while supporting you to reconnect with your internal resources, incuding hard-won-wisdom, beliefs/values and self-compassion. I use a curious, non-judgemental stance, and collaborate with you, working through questions that help us to understand the meaning you give to your experiences. This enables us to explore novel ways of approaching and thinking about your unique concerns.

With families, I predominantly rely on Emotion-Focused Family Therapy to assist them to strengthen their communication, support children with regulation, set loving limits, and restore mental wellness.

I offer an Emotion-Focused Parent Group for those who would benefit from working with and learning from others. I also offer workshops and consult to schools/educators looking to learn how to apply Emotion Focused School Support into thier school community.

My approach integrates:

Emotion-Focused Therapy

Brief Solution-Focused Therapy

Narrative Therapy

My practice values are grounded in an anti-oppressive, decolonizing, gender-affirming and trauma-informed framework.

Hi, I’m Lara Pierre, MSW, RSW

I’m a Child and Family Psychotherapist, Parent Coach, and School Social Worker with nearly 20 years of experience supporting children, teens, and families.

I specialize in:

-Parent coaching – especially for early years and adolescence

-Family and individual therapy

-Training for educators and school teams

-Clinical supervision for therapists

-Public speaking and workshops for parents and caregivers

My work blends evidence-based strategies with empathy and real-life parenting experience. Whether you’re dealing with toddler meltdowns, school struggles, or teen pushback, I help you build stronger, calmer connections with the kids in your care.

I’m also a School Social Worker, which gives me deep insight into the challenges children face in educational settings—and how parents and educators can best support them.

I’m registered with the OCSWSSW and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers. My services are covered by many extended health benefit plans.

Let’s work together to bring more clarity, connection, and confidence to your parenting journey.
