My name is Rene Doucet, I know what it feels like to take a leap of faith into the unknown. At 48, I chose to follow my heart and embrace a path that aligned with who I truly am – becoming a mental health counsellor. That decision has not only enriched my life but also allowed me to walk alongside others on their journeys. Your story matters, and it’s never too late to share it.

As a mental health counselor, my mission is simple:to provide a safe and compassionate space where every story matters. Healing happens in relationships built on trust and understanding. Everyone’s experiences are valid, and everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued. In my practice, I embrace a person-centred approach, meaning you lead the way, and I walk alongside you on your healing journey. As a mental health counsellor, it is crucial that everyone feel included. Regardless of background, identity, or life experiences. I firmly believe that every individual deserves access to the highest quality mental health support, and I am committed to creating an inclusive environment where you feel safe to explore your challenges and grow.
My approach to therapy is thoughtfully designed to honour your unique needs and the challenges you encounter in life. I use a range of evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Existential Therapy, all grounded in a compassionate, humanistic perspective.
As a warm, compassionate, and empathic counsellor, I strive to be relatable and approachable, creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel deeply heard, genuinely understood, and fully validated. I believe in the power of collaboration as we work together to navigate your journey of growth, healing, and transformation. This is your path, and I am here to guide and support you, always keeping you in the driver’s seat.
My true passion has been to support others on their journeys of personal growth. I’ve always envisioned a vocation where I could create a safe and nurturing environment for individuals to heal, thrive, embrace vulnerability, and rediscover their authentic selves. After years of working in the corporate world, I realized that my work wasn’t fulfilling my soul. Therefore, at the age of 48, I decided to return to school to pursue my dream of becoming a counselor. I truly believe it’s never too late to align our life purpose with our true authentic selves.
