Sabrina Provencal, MA, RSSW, RP (Qualifying)
Social Service Worker / Psychotherapist / Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Clinical Philosophy
I am passionate about supporting children, families, couples, and individuals, with a particular focus on relational work with families and couples. I believe that strong relationships and a sense of emotional safety are the foundation for growth, healing, and resilience. Whether working with individuals or together in a relationship, I support clients in deepening understanding, strengthening communication, and breaking cycles that no longer serve them.
I bring significant experience in children’s mental health and trauma-informed care, supporting families navigating ADHD, ODD, anxiety, depression, attachment concerns, and the impacts of trauma, including intergenerational and relational trauma. I also work with individuals processing these experiences on their own. Further, I work closely with families connected to military and correctional environments and understand the unique stressors these systems can place on family life.
My approach is collaborative, creative, and both person-centred and relational. My work is strength-based and developmentally informed, and I often incorporate play-based interventions when working with children, while also supporting parents, caregivers, and individuals with practical tools and reflection. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where children feel seen, individuals feel understood, caregivers feel supported, and relationships can grow with greater confidence and connection.
I view therapy as a partnership and believe people and families already hold many of the strengths they need. My role is to help uncover those strengths, foster understanding, and support lasting and meaningful change. If you are seeking a therapist who values relationship, compassion, and collaboration, I would be honoured to support you, your family, or your relationship, and to be part of your village.
