Gabriel Bernier

Most of my clients are facing at least one of the following challenges:

Relationship issues

• Persistent doubts or conflict
• Feelings of isolation or loneliness
• Issues with communication and connection
• Sexual challenges
• Navigating structure (poly, open, monogamous, etc.)

Life transitions

• Career changes
• Adjustment to or from family life
• Lost connection with values & vision

Anxiety

• Incessant worry
• Perfectionism
• Social anxiety
• Debilitating concerns about how others see you

My interpersonal style tends to be “folksy,” as opposed to a more “clinical” style you might find in some therapists. My style won’t work for everyone, but neither will a clinical style. Your fit with your therapist is critical.

With a solid relationship in place, we can safely explore the beliefs and narratives that drive your interpretations of events in your life. We’ll look at the way those beliefs impact your emotions and mood, and the function (often indirect, always unconscious) that these beliefs hold in your life. Once you’re aware of the stories, you can begin to choose whether or not you want to believe them, and begin to shape your stories around beliefs that support you moving forward.
