Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Life's challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, and when you're stuck in the same patterns, it's hard to see a way forward. This is a space where that changes. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, or simply feeling lost, you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving toward something better. The goal isn't just to cope, it's to genuinely understand yourself, replace what's holding you back with habits that actually nourish you, and reconnect with what brings you peace and fulfillment.
Our approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, drawing on evidence-based therapies that target both symptom relief and deeper lasting change. We specialize in working with trauma, brain injuries, and ADHD, and have built my practice around helping clients in these areas feel truly understood. Together we'll work not just toward insight, but toward real, meaningful change, so you leave sessions feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more equipped to navigate your life and relationships.

Lauren Hone
Registered Psychotherapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist, Yoga teacher
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if part of you isn’t sure what you’ll find when you get there. You might be used to holding things together on the outside while feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed underneath. In our work, you don’t have to have it all figured out - you just have to show up as you are.
Clients often come to me when they’re ready to understand themselves more deeply, not just manage symptoms. Together, we make sense of the patterns that keep repeating in relationships, the inner tension, and the emotional experiences that feel hard to access or explain. As you begin to feel more grounded and clear, many clients notice a shift toward greater self-trust, more ease in their relationships, and a stronger sense of who they are.
If you’re looking for a space that feels thoughtful, steady, and genuinely attuned to your experience, this may be a good fit.

St. John's is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador and one of North America's oldest cities, perched on the Atlantic coast with a distinct cultural identity—Newfoundland's unique vernacular, music, and social traditions are a strong source of community pride and solidarity that provides genuine protective factors against isolation. The mental health landscape is shaped by the boom-and-bust character of the offshore oil industry that employs many residents, the generational grief from the cod fishery's collapse in 1992, and the seasonal affective challenges of a city known for fog, overcast skies, and long Atlantic winters. Memorial University's medical school contributes to the health workforce, and mental health services are provided through NL Health Services. Common therapy concerns include FIFO oil industry stress and relationship strain, economic anxiety tied to energy sector volatility, seasonal depression, and the grief of a community carrying significant intergenerational loss from the collapse of the fishery.
