Valerie Marcil

I grew up in a rigid and demanding family. Driven by a constant need for approval, the pressure of needing to be perfect impacted my self-esteem and mental health. Walking through my mental health journey allowed me to learn how to be vulnerable and find courage and strength in my story. I can understand and empathize with thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that contribute to mental health roadblocks. This helps me with my approach as a therapist to work as a team with individuals while focusing on their counseling goals.
