Laura Gatien & Associates’ Saint John office is a community-based outpatient counselling practice that provides confidential therapeutic support to adults, youth, couples, and families dealing with mental health and behavioural concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and substance use patterns, through structured, evidence-informed therapy that fits into everyday life rather than residential treatment.
Therapeutic Support Within a Comfortable, Real-Life Setting
Located on Westmorland Road with a second office on Canterbury Street, the Saint John practice offers individual, couples, and family counselling in a welcoming, non-clinical environment designed to put clients at ease. Therapists work collaboratively with clients to strengthen coping strategies, explore underlying patterns, and build healthier behavioural and emotional routines while allowing people to maintain daily responsibilities like work and family roles.
Wide Range of Evidence-Informed Outpatient Services
The centre’s team delivers a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to client needs, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), EMDR, play therapy, trauma-informed work and support for substance-related concerns within therapy sessions. These approaches aim to help clients address unhelpful patterns, improve emotional regulation, and develop resilience without requiring a residential stay.
Support That Meets Everyday Life
In addition to in-person sessions, the practice offers online therapy across New Brunswick, helping clients access care from their home community. Laura Gatien & Associates also supports low-cost and free counselling options through its affiliated charitable program to reduce barriers to access.
Accessible, Community-Anchored Outpatient Care
With a broad care team whose expertise covers emotional health, behaviour change, personal growth and everyday stress, the Saint John office helps clients embed recovery-oriented work into real-world routines and responsibilities, making it a practical choice for people seeking structured therapeutic support without interrupting daily life.
