Shanel Quenneville, MACP, RP

Hi, I’m Shanel!

First off, welcome! I’m so glad you found your way here. I know that starting therapy – or even just looking for the right therapist can feel a little awkward or overwhelming. Whether this is your first time, you’re returning, or you’re still trying to find the right fit, I want to make this process as comfortable as possible for you.

I bring a warm, accepting, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are – your authentic self – without judgement. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you; it is about working together with curiosity to understand what’s been holding you back, how those patterns developed, and what we can do to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you. I truly believe you’re the expert in your own life, and I’m here to support you in your journey toward self-discovery, self-acceptance, and personal growth.

I work with individuals of all ages, though much of my experience is with children, youth, and young adults, navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, emotional regulation, relationships and life transitions. I also work closely with parents who are navigating challenges with their child or teen, helping them strengthen their connection and foster a more understanding, supportive relationship. I recognize everyone’s experiences are unique, therefore I follow a client-centred approach. I draw from various evidence-based therapies – including attachment-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), humanistic approaches, psychodynamic approaches, compassion and mindfulness approaches – blending different techniques to create a therapy experience and space that feels most helpful for you.

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions for us to connect, explore, discover, and transform. If you would like to connect, have any questions, or want to see if we’d be a good fit over a free 15-minute consultation, please email me at shanel.quenneville.ocp@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting with you!
