Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying); RP(Q)
I work with clients who have gone through or are currently experiencing physical, verbal, mental, and sexual abuse. We first establish a safe and secure environment to talk about this struggle, formulate any necessary emergency resources, and then begin the process of change or growth that is needed according to the wishes of the client.

Lisa O'Donovan
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Using a relational trauma reparative approach, I work with clients impacted by domestic abuse or relational trauma, offering a safe, compassionate space to process wounds and support healing. Using a psychodynamic approach, we explore relational patterns and work gently toward rebuilding trust, connection, and emotional well-being.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My of my clients have unfortunately been victims of domestic abuse and toxic relationships. Often my clients find it difficult to leave these relationships due to established "trauma bonds". I take a "safety-first" approach which focuses on helping you collect valuable resources in addition to effective skills to prevent or protect you from future violence. I have assissed clients in making police reports, speaking with lawyers and embracing healthy community when necessary. Due to the nature of domestic abuse, I believe it's crucial to focus on increasing self-esteem and autonomy to aid in decreasing feelings of powerlessness. I am here to be your patient ally through recovery.

Thunder Bay is a northwestern Ontario city that functions as the primary urban centre and service hub for a vast region of the Canadian Shield, and it has one of the highest urban Indigenous populations of any Canadian city—both permanent residents and individuals who travel hundreds of miles from remote reserves to access healthcare, education, and services. The city has faced significant challenges with Indigenous youth mental health and suicide, violence, and the mental health impacts of colonization and intergenerational trauma from residential schools, and these concerns are central to the local mental health landscape. Lakehead University's Indigenous studies programs contribute to a growing body of decolonized mental health approaches, and regional services work to address significant unmet need. Common therapy concerns include Indigenous trauma and intergenerational residential school effects, geographic isolation, substance use, depression, and the complex grief of a community navigating both the legacy of colonial harm and ongoing racism and marginalization.
