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.

Lara Pierre
(She/Her/Hers)

I am a Registered Social Worker with over 15 years of experience providing direct support to children, youth, and families of all ethnicities, race, religion, genders, sexual orientations and abilities.

My career began as a Child and Youth Care Practitioner, working on the frontlines in youth shelters, group homes and in-patient hospital units. I later completed a Masters of Social work and focussed my skills and training on becoming a psychotherapist. Before opening my own practice, I provided therapy to children, youth and families in community-based Children’s Mental Health agencies.

Today, I support both young people and adults alike. I provide family therapy, parent coaching, as well as, individual therapy.

I am also a School Social Worker, providing therapeutic support to students, parents, and faculty. This work allows me to have a broad understanding of the common challenges faced by children in a school context. More recently I extended my practice to provide schools across Ontario with workshops and consultation on Emotion-Focused School Support strategies in order to increase the reach of caring adults in support of children’s mental wellness.

As a parent I also draw on my own experience to support families and caring adults in discovering their unique pathways to increased wellness.

I am a member in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW) and my services are covered by many health benefit plans.
