I am accepting new individual clients in my virtual-only practice (my couples and family spots are full). If you’re going through trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, sickness, relationship problems, parenting, or something else, life is probably really tough. Maybe you are feeling down, worried, stressed, in a slump, checked out, overwhelmed, frozen, on high alert, or “ready to fight.” We can’t always change our circumstances, but we can do a lot together to get you feeling like you again. If you appreciate a direct approach when needed, with space for joking, and you want to work together on goals, you could be in the right place!
Trust and comfort take time. You might not be sure about the virtual-only office but there are great benefits. If you are an RCMP member, other police member or first responder, CAF member, veteran, or family/spouse of any of these, you are in the right place. Even though I haven’t had boots on the ground, being part of the family, I get how things can be.
I work to make my online office space private, secure, comfortable, and relaxed. To learn more about me and my approaches, feel free to explore my clinic website (linked). You can contact me through links on this page or via the information listed on my website. I offer a free 15 minute consultation phone call to see if working with me feels like a fit.
Call or Dr. Laura Friesen now for a free 15 minute consultation - (867) 675-5700

In the first session, we go over the consent forms and points like confidentiality, payment, the cancellation policy, and a few more things. Then I like to spend some time getting to know my clients more, what they are going through, and what their goals are. Clients are welcomed to ask about my training, my approaches, and what therapy is like throughout the process.
