Janet Fournier, Registered Psychotherapist

Couples, Individual & Trauma Therapy

In-person psychotherapy available in Richmond Hill and Jackson’s Point, Ontario. Virtual psychotherapy is also available.

I am a relational, trauma-informed therapist. I provide psychotherapy and counselling for individuals and couples, with a particular focus on trauma, wounded-child work and the ways our experiences shape how we understand ourselves and connect with others.

“Pathology may explain our struggles, and protocols may guide the process, but it is relationship that creates the space for growth.”

Whether you're looking for support as an individual, hoping to strengthen or repair your relationship, or seeking trauma-informed therapy, I invite you to find the path that feels right for you.

Life can be complicated and the load you are bearing can feel overwhelming. I will hold your container through the services of psychotherapy & counselling. These services offer you time and space to talk about your thoughts and feelings, invite you to explore patterns, relationships, and experiences, and support you in developing greater self-understanding, resilience, and emotional wellbeing. Together, we can work toward creating meaningful change, healing, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.

Psychotherapy & Counselling Services include:

Support Groups

Janet Fournier | Psychotherapy

Are seeking therapy because the person you have been, the life you have built, or the way you have learned to relate to others no longer makes sense. Maybe you resonate with…

  • The woman who has spent her life being the capable one and no longer knows what she wants.

  • The couple who love each other but cannot seem to escape the same painful dynamic.

  • The new mother who loves her child but barely recognizes herself.

  • The man whose childhood taught him to survive in ways that no longer serve him.

  • The first responder who can handle extraordinary circumstances but struggles with what happens internally afterward.

It helps to have a place where you can slow down, put words to what has been on your mind, and talk openly about what is happening in your life. A place where you can feel heard, take your time, and begin to make sense of things in your own way.

My work is grounded in the belief that being genuinely heard can make a difference. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person and the life they bring into the room. I believe that meaningful work begins with a real human connection, one that allows you to speak honestly, explore what matters to you, and feel comfortable bringing your whole self to the conversation.

Our lives are shaped by our experiences, our relationships, our beliefs, and the stories we make up about ourselves and the world around us. Over time, these stories can become part of how we understand who we are, what we can expect from others, and how we move through life. Sometimes, it can be helpful to take a closer look at these stories, where they came from, and whether they still reflect how we see ourselves today.

Therapy offers an opportunity to explore these experiences with care and curiosity. Together, we can look at what has shaped you, what continues to influence your life, and what might begin to feel different with greater understanding.

Every person arrives with a different story, and there is no single way to do this work. Our conversations unfold according to what feels important to you. My role is to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and work alongside you as we explore the things that bring you to therapy.

I see therapy as a collaborative process, grounded in trust, openness, and the understanding that getting to know ourselves takes time. I consider it a privilege to be invited into these conversations, and I approach that responsibility with care.

Whether you are working through something specific, trying to understand patterns in your life, or feeling a desire to know yourself more fully, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
