Addiction & Compulsive Behavior:

Yannick has a background in Neuroscience and specializes in the overlap of substance use and mental health. Having previously worked at an intensive outpatient clinic, his work is rooted in evidence-based addiction treatment, trauma-informed care, and utilizing physiological understanding to help reduce shame and validate the difficulties of navigating these issues. Yannick works with individuals at various stages in their recovery journey supporting both harm reduction and abstinence-based strategies.

Yannick’s Therapeutic approach:

Yannick’s style is direct, warm, and grounded in authentic connection. He places emphasis on developing a stronger understanding of the self, identifying patterns and stuck points, and creating sustainable changes that lead to feelings of fulfillment and alignment.

His approach is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and a belief that behaviors are not symptoms needing to be “fixed” but behaviors that serve a purpose that may have become misaligned over time.
