Lisa Shouldice Psychotherapy Clinic

I am a Queer, cisgender Lesbian experienced Individual, Couple & Family Psychotherapist comfortable working with diverse presenting issues such as addictions, trauma and relationship concerns. I moved from Ottawa, Ontario 11 years ago where my last full-time role was as a Clinical Therapist at an Aboriginal health centre.  I have extensive training in working with diverse cultures, specifically Aboriginal people.  I have also worked within my LGBTQIA2S+ communities.

We have recently expanded into a mental health clinic, Lisa Shouldice Psychotherapy Clinic, that includes a team of several associates. I hand-picked each team member so they are experienced trauma therapists that are Queer and queer-allied allowing for culturally informed treatment. We now offer more complete, wrap-around services to our clients, their partners and families.

I have extensive knowledge of many psychological/therapeutic theories specifically Attachment and Systems theories.  My training predominantly includes emotion-focused techniques (EFT) as well as a more integrated approach that I use with clients, such as those appropriated from the cognitive and multicultural approach(es).   I use art therapy and sandtray therapy techniques as well.
