Individuals:
Yannick works with adults who are struggling with:
- Substance use disorders or compulsive behavior
- Shame, self-judgement, and negative self-talk
- Strained connection in platonic and/or intimate relationships
- Feeling stuck in life and having trouble navigating big life changes
- Coping with grief, trauma, anxiety, and regulating emotions
- Navigating chronic illness
Yannick may be a good fit for individuals who want assistance in reaching their goals, are feeling stuck in patterns, and those who want to develop stronger connections and relations with themselves and others.
Couples:
Yannick works with couples wanting to address the impact of addiction, ruptures in trust, communication struggles, parenting, or large life adjustments. Yannick may be a good fit for couples who are:
- Having trouble navigating communication without it escalating
- Wanting to work through substance use disorders, ruptures in trust, and drifting or emotional distancing
- Navigating large life transitions or dynamic shifts in the relationship such as parenting, career transitions, and grief
Yannick helps create a space in which couples can explore their concerns in a safe environment, develop an understanding of what each individual needs, and instill lasting, sustainable change.
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.
