My approach to treatment and counseling is a holistic one which includes using evidence-based models of psychotherapy, as well as more alternative based therapeutic methods. I utilize different modalities and focus on the entire person where we assess and look at their mind, body, and spirit. I see every individual as a complex and unique being who is a product of their environment and genetics (nature and nurture). In turn, we come up with a treatment plan that is supportive, multi-faceted, and specific to your needs. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and grief.

Dr. Stephanie McCune
Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am grateful to have been working in the field of health and human services for over 23 years. I am humbled to provide clinical counselling services to individuals, families, couples and groups. In all of my interactions I centre safety, collaboration, trauma-informed practice, cultural humility, and compassion. I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology and a PhD with a specialization in the field of substance use and addiction. I work alongside youth and adults involved with alcohol and/or other drugs and strive to meet people where they are at with both a strength-based and collaborative lens. My deep passion involves supporting family members and carers affected by substance use who may be seeking services in their own right, or a safe place to share their experience as they navigate the rollercoaster of loving a person involved with substances.

Many of my clients feel worried that others don’t like them, and are scared to speak up in their relationships. They’ve spent a long time silencing what they really think and feel inside because they’re afraid they’ll be rejected if they share their full selves with others. I help clients understand and change the underlying patterns keeping them stuck. You can build confidence managing emotions, setting boundaries and having more of what you want in relationships. You can accept and even like who you are and have the confidence to make changes in your life that bring satisfaction at work, connection and closeness in relationships, and trust yourself to get through the hard things.

The human brain is an amazing tool with incredible possibilities. However, sometimes this wonderful tool can generate states and thoughts that are not as useful to us. Luckily our mind is also flexible, which means that with some intentional adjustments we can often change how we think, feel and behave. In a way, therapy is all about getting to know ourselves and using our mind’s own tricks to our advantage, to facilitate the changes we want to see.
I specialize in working with adults with anxiety and self-esteem issues. I also specialize in couple’s counselling and helping couples maneuver a variety of challenges in their relationship, such as a breakdown of communication, recurring arguments, life transitions, and intimacy issues.
