Philosophy of Care & Therapeutic Approach

Welcome

I'm Andree Patenaude (she/her), Relational Somatic Therapist and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (ACCT #3270).

I work with people who are over trying to figure themselves out, and are ready for inner exploration that follows your body's wisdom.

My approach integrates parts work, inner child work, shadow work, polyvagal theory, and attachment work to help you build capacity to feel more deeply, unravel survival patterns, and process trauma in the body.

"Andree’s energy is calm and encouraging.

For someone who is uncomfortable being vulnerable in front of others, I feel very safe with her. She creates a warm, comforting environment where all feelings and thoughts are allowed to be felt and heard.
