2️⃣ 3️⃣ YEARS!!!!
I can’t believe so many years have flown by! We’ve seen each other through immigration, grad school, tiny apartments, infant loss, the career ladder, raising children and growing this business.

Our love has been anchored in hard work, challenging each other, mutual respect, giving each other the benefit of the doubt, laughter, silliness and prayer.

Look at how far we’ve come babe!

Here’s to many more years of me proudly rocking your last name! 🥂

Black love for the win.
Don’t believe what they tell you on tv. We’re out here winning! 😉
🖤🤎🧡

I was recently interviewed by Sarah Laing for to speak to the importance of public therapy programs.

It turns out that a number of people have no idea that therapy at no-cost or low cost actually exists. The truth is, it often makes a very significant difference for people who can’t afford it. A two-tier system for therapy exists - but it should not.

If you do a quick google search, you can find community agencies that offer support within your price range. Also, there are private practice offices that offer free or low cost services. We do that at Francis Psychotherapy through our student therapist program, and there are other practices that offer supports in conjunction with community partners. I can think of and to name a few.

In Durham Region there is also

If you can think of other free therapy supports in Canada, please list them below along with the city/area they serve, so we can ALL have access to mental health care.

Because life-changing support shouldn’t only be available to a few.

Look… we are living in the brave and bold world of tech. And AI can do LOTS.
But me and my skills?
The skills in my team?
Irreplaceable.

AI can’t use cards to breakdown feelings for 10 year old boy like can.

AI can’t self-disclose to share relevant life experiences so that the new mom with PPMD feels less alone the way I can.

AI can’t support new couples the way can

And it DEFINITELY can’t help a scared woman navigate next steps as she flees an unsafe relationship like or walk clients through complex trauma like

So… at Francis Psychotherapy AI is used as a tool.
But replacement?
We ain’t NEVER scared!

Whether you call it abuse, intimate partner violence or domestic violence, one thing is clear: the harm is traumatic and long-lasting. It seeps into every area of your life and it compromises your mental health and that of your children.

Abuse isn’t just physical. It’s the name calling. The purposeful dangerous driving to inflict fear. The threats. Even the social isolation.

If your relationship is starting to make you feel uncomfortable, pay attention.
If you’ve BEEN uncomfortable, pay attention.
If you feel ashamed and you don’t know who to talk to, we have just the person for you.

Tracey has dedicated her career to this.
She’s waiting to support you in therapy.

Please send this to people you might be concerned about. We don’t want to read about them in the news.

If you are in immediate danger please call 9-1-1.

Hey Vancouver community, my colleagues Gen Drummond ( ) and I are inviting you to CONNECTED MINDS, an afternoon where conversation flows, collaboration sparks, and Vancouver’s sharpest allied health practitioners come together to do more than just network—we’re building community with intention.

Expect a thought-provoking health panel, spotlight moments that shine a light on your fellow healers, and curated chances to actually connect (not just collect business cards).

Whether you’re here to swap referrals, trade big ideas, or just soak up the brilliance in the room, you’ll leave with fresh perspectives, renewed energy, and a few new contacts who actually get what you do.

Because when minds connect, magic happens.
We’ll be meeting at the Jane head office. His cool is that?!

Grab a ticket at the link in the bye-oh. 🔗
See you there!

Last weekend I was flown out to Calgary by to put some sauce on an Ambassador Led Meetup that I co-hosted with the brilliant and lovely at the very cool

We invited all allied health practitioners to come and learn about marketing their practice, and boy did we ever share!! From old school marketing that’s still effective today, to AI and vs (go look it up), to the best money and worst money we’ve spent on marketing.

It was a chill, laid back, grab a drink, fill up on appetizers kind of Friday afternoon, and everyone loved it!
It was so wonderful to see strangers become friends, exchanging information and taking notes from all the nuggets that were being shared!

Also, imagine my surprise when Latoya and the whole team showed up - all the way from Edmonton! (Love you sis!)

It was such a great day that everyone kept asking the same question - when are you doing this again?
Not sure yet… will have to chat with the Jane team.

BUT… Jane and I are bringing the same energy to Vancouver on July 25th! Aaaand we are hosting it at the beautiful Jane headquarters so stay tuned!

If you are looking to switch to Jane (who doesn’t want admin tasks taken off their plate so they can have more time for things they love?) you should use the code THERAPISTSLOUNGE to get a 2-month grace period!

Tell them Roxanne sent you! 😉
