As a counsellor in New Maryland NB, I offer compassionate, trauma‑informed support for individuals of all ages. I am a Licensed Counselling Therapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor serving clients in New Brunswick and across Canada*. Based in New Maryland, NB, I bring warmth, honesty, and genuine care to every session. I believe people heal best when they feel safe, respected, and understood. Because of this, I work hard to create a welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are.

I live with my husband, two boys, and our Labrador Retrievers. Outside of counselling, I enjoy learning, walking outdoors, travelling, music, and spending time in nature. My office is nestled in a peaceful natural setting that offers a calming and grounding environment. When appropriate, both indoor and outdoor therapy sessions are available.

With more than 25 years of experience supporting youth, adults, and families, I bring both professional expertise and real-life perspective to my work. Throughout my career, I have served as a school counsellor, educator, Child and Youth Team member, ASD West clinician, and live-in Don at UNB. My education includes a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Education, and Master of Education in Counselling Psychology. I have also completed specialized training in Violence and Threat Risk Assessment (VTRA Levels 1 and 2), ASSIST Suicide Intervention, and ASK Suicide Risk Assessment for children.

As a counsellor in New Maryland NB, Tricia is committed to creating a space where clients feel understood, respected, and gently supported.

How I Work

My approach is gentle, person-centred, and grounded in connection and trust. I listen closely, offer steady encouragement, and provide practical tools that support emotional regulation, resilience, and personal growth. In addition, I use psychoeducation to help clients better understand their experiences and make informed choices about their healing journey.

I understand that finding the right therapist is a deeply personal process. That is why I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help ensure the therapeutic relationship feels like a good fit. Healing happens through connection, curiosity, and compassion, and my goal is to help you feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way.

A Neurodiversity-Affirming and Inclusive Practice

I welcome neurodivergent clients, including autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, and otherwise neurodivergent individuals. I see neurodiversity as a natural and valuable way of experiencing the world. As a result, I adapt therapy to fit your unique sensory, communication, and learning needs while respecting your pace and preferred ways of processing information.

Clients often appreciate having a counsellor in New Maryland NB who honours neurodiversity, identity, and lived experience with compassion and respect. I recognize how neurodivergence can intersect with other identities, including 2SLGBTQIA+ experiences. My practice is committed to creating an inclusive environment where all forms of difference are welcomed, respected, and celebrated. Every client deserves to feel a sense of belonging.

Areas of Focus

I support clients with a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety and Panic
• ADHD
• OCD
• Neurodivergence
• Life Transitions
• Self-Esteem and Identity
• Grief and Loss
• Postpartum Anxiety and Depression
• Perimenopause and Menopause
• Workplace Stress and Burnout
• Parenting and Family Dynamics
• Trauma-Informed Care
• School Avoidance and School Phobia

Many people seek a counsellor in New Maryland NB who understands the importance of gentle, trauma‑informed support, and Tricia brings that presence to every session. Whether you are navigating the pressures of parenthood, managing the complexities of neurodivergence, facing a career transition, coping with grief, or feeling exhausted and unrecognized at work, I am here to support you.

Clients often describe me as calm, steady, and deeply supportive. I offer guidance without judgment and create space for meaningful reflection and growth. Together, we can explore your challenges, build on your strengths, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling.

In time, I hope to publish a book of short stories inspired by the ups and downs of life, sharing reflections that remind us we are never truly alone on the journey.
