Danielle Comeau, RCT, CCC
Counselling Therapist
Danielle Comeau is a Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT) with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. She completed her graduate training working in a non-profit counselling centre. She enjoys working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and with varied sexual and gender identities.
Danielle works with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, mood and personality disorders, and problems in attachment and relationships. She works from a psychodynamic perspective, using Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). ISTDP focuses on the ways of coping people develop in response to how they have been treated. Although these coping mechanisms helped at one time, they may now cause trouble. Understanding how these coping methods developed and protected one against complicated feelings can help people change and live more purposefully and empowered.
As well as individual work, Danielle also offers couples therapy using the evidence-based Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) model. PACT is grounded in developmental neurobiology, attachment theory and interactive regulation. Using this model, she helps couples become better attuned to each other by noticing and bringing their patterns of relating to the surface that has become automatic. Her approach is kind but direct and calls both individuals to take responsibility for their relationship's two-person psychological system.
As a therapist, Danielle continues her learning with supervision, video review, training, and didactic learning.
