Bravery doesn’t usually look dramatic.
It looks like noticing something feels off and not ignoring it.
It looks like having a hard conversation.
It looks like showing up, even when progress feels slow.

If you’re doing that kind of work, it matters.
And if you’re thinking about support, you don’t have to wait for things to get worse.

We’re here when you’re ready.

Most people don’t get stuck because they can’t grow.
They get stuck because they stop trying.

Not in a dramatic way.
In small, quiet ways.
They stop revisiting.
They stop adjusting.
They stop giving themselves room to learn.

And that’s when people start to feel unhappy, anxious, and disconnected from themselves.

If this message resonates, it’s because you’re not meant to quit on yourself. You’re meant to grow with support.

Noha offers therapy in both English and Arabic, and she works with clients who want to stay in the process of becoming who they’re meant to be.

If you’re ready to keep going, you can book with Noha.

When you’ve already peopled too much, virtual therapy can make it possible to still show up.

No commute.
No extra small talk.
Just support, from a space that already feels familiar.

That’s why virtual sessions work for so many people.

We offer virtual therapy at Laura Gatien & Associates because sometimes less effort is exactly what helps you begin.

Visit our website to book your appointment today.

Most people don’t quit on their plans.
Life just gets loud again.

The changes that stick aren’t dramatic.
They’re small, scheduled, and supported.

If you’re trying to make this year different, start there.

And if you don’t want to do it on your own,
Laura Gatien & Associates is here when you’re ready

For all the Francophone people in New-Brunswick, Chloe wants you to know that she offers therapy services in French for individuals and couples 16+ in Saint-John and virtually across New-Brunswick. Expressing yourself in your first language is one less barrier to accessing growth, developing the best version of yourself and making sense of your emotions and experiences:

Bonjour! Je m’appelle Chloé, je suis thérapeute clinique chez Laura Gatien & Associates, et j’aimerais vous partager un message qui me tient à coeur :

Vivre en milieu minoritaire francophone peut rendre l’accès aux services en français plus difficile. Vous méritez avant tout un espace sécuritaire où votre vécu, vos émotions et vos expériences sont pleinement respectés et peuvent être exprimés dans VOTRE langue maternelle. Le sentiment de sécurité est essentiel en intervention individuelle, et parler dans sa langue maternelle est reconnu pour favoriser un climat émotionnel sécurisant.

Vous n’avez plus à faire face à l’obstacle de chercher un.e professionnel.le francophone pour vous soutenir — je suis là. J’ai obtenu mon baccalauréat en travail social à l’Université de Moncton ainsi que ma maîtrise en travail social à l’Université d’Ottawa, deux programmes entièrement en français. J’utilise la thérapie centrée sur les émotions comme approche d’intervention. Oh, et en passant, j'avais peut être oublier de le mentionner, chu acadienne, donc le chiac est bienvenue ;)

J’offre des services thérapeutiques pour les individus et les couples âgés de 16 ans et plus. J’accepte des client.e.s francophones à Saint Jean, ainsi que partout au Nouveau-Brunswick virtuellement.

J’offre un espace sécuritaire et calme où, ensemble, nous pourrons commencer à donner sens à vos émotions et à votre vécu, quelque chose que vous méritez, avant tout, EN FRANÇAIS.

Réservez avec moi : https://www.lauragatien.com/meet-chloe

If you made it through the holidays and feel tired instead of refreshed, you’re not doing January wrong.

For a lot of people, surviving the holiday season takes more energy than anyone sees.
Grief gets louder. Family stuff lingers. The pressure to feel grateful or joyful can be heavy.

When it’s over, you’re often left with the emotional hangover of it all.

That doesn’t mean you failed the holidays.
It means you got through them.

Some years, surviving the season is the work.
No big reset. No fresh start required.

If you’re moving slowly right now, that makes sense.
And if what you’re carrying feels like too much to hold on your own, you don’t have to.

Lately, I’ve been noticing how often confirmation bias shows up in the therapy room.

It’s that little mental glitch where we search for evidence that supports what we already believe and tell ourselves, while quietly ignoring anything that challenges it.

“I messed up once, so everyone must think I’m a failure.”
“My partner sighed—see, I knew it! They are upset with me.”

Even when the beliefs or stories we tell ourselves are negative, they can be very hard to shake.

Therapy can help you to slow down, question the story you're telling yourself, and make space for the evidence you’re not used to seeing.

Small shift, big difference!

Kyle works with clients on breaking these exact patterns.
If you’re ready to stop letting one thought run the whole story, book an appointment with him.

Some seasons feel too full to even think about taking care of yourself. I get that. What surprised me this year is how much the smallest choices can steady you when life gets loud. The shift usually starts long before the big changes do.

If you want support while you build habits that actually fit your life, our team is here. Therapy can give you structure, accountability, and space to breathe again.

This past year held a lot. Growth. Change. Hard conversations. Quiet wins that no one saw. Heavy moments that needed time and support.

We watched clients take brave steps, sometimes small and sometimes life-changing. We watched our team stretch, learn, and care for people with so much heart. And we were reminded, again and again, that everyone carries more than they show.

As we step into 2026, our hope is simple. That you feel supported. Give yourself permission to slow down. And that you reach out when you need someone in your corner.

We’re here. Every step of the way.

Most people think virtual therapy is a second choice. A backup plan. Something you settle for when life gets busy.

But that’s not your story.

Your story sounds more like this.
You’re juggling a lot. Your schedule never stops shifting. You want support, but you can’t picture adding one more commute or rushing across town after work. You don’t need more pressure. You need something that fits the life you already have.

This is where virtual therapy becomes the better option. It lets you show up without the scramble. It gives you privacy. It meets you where you are, even on the days you only have enough energy to sit on your couch with a blanket.

The work is the same. The connection is the same. The care is the same.
The difference is simple. You finally have space to focus on yourself without rearranging your whole life to do it.

If you’ve been putting off therapy because you don’t know how to make it all fit, this might be your easiest first step.

Therapy shouldn’t depend on where you live, what you drive, or what you can rearrange in your schedule.
That’s why, between Laura Gatien & Associates and Just Us; We All Struggle, support is available across the province in a way that actually removes barriers instead of creating new ones.

Whether you need trauma support, culturally informed counselling, child and teen therapy, couples work, EMDR, or a calm space to sort through a hard season, you can access it without having to hunt for the “right” specialist. Our team is full-service, with clinicians who bring different backgrounds, strengths, and approaches, so you don’t have to start over or settle for something that doesn’t fit.

You deserve care that meets you where you are.
In person or virtual.
Private or low barrier through Just Us.
All across New Brunswick.

If you’re ready for support that feels accessible and aligned, you can book through our website.

Our team spent a full day in somatic training this fall, learning how to better support clients whose bodies hold stress, trauma, and long-carried patterns.
It was deep work. Thoughtful work. The kind of training that changes how we show up in the room.

We invest in this because therapy is not only about what gets said. It’s also about what gets felt.
When someone sits across from us, we want to understand the whole story — the nervous system, the emotions, and the survival strategies that often speak louder than words.

This training helps our therapists meet clients with more steadiness, more attunement, and more tools that help them feel safe without rushing their process.

We’re proud of this team. They care about doing the work well, and they care about growing so they can offer clients the kind of support that creates real change.

If you’re looking for a therapist in Fredericton or Saint John, you can find our team and booking options on our website.
