Lee Lourdeaux MSW, RCSW, PhD Lit.
Individual, Couples, & Family Therapy

With over fifteen years of counselling experience, I can help with:

Relationship issues such as communication, repeated conflict, or resentment

low self-esteem or a sense of failure

Concerns about sex, pornography, Internet, marijuana, drugs, or alcohol

Children or adolelscents and their parents

Depression and/or anxiety

trauma and abuse, loss and grief

Lesbian and gay relationships and concerns

Obsessive thoughts and/or compulsive behaviours

My approach is efficient, interactive, and focused.

An example of my approach is the email I send after each session. This communication details important insight, skills, and new ideas that you can use to move in a positive direction.

Even with quite serious problems, my approach takes months, not years, for lasting results.

An overview:

Everyone's story is unique and no therapy session follows a predictable path. However, the steps below provide a general outline of how your therapy sessions with me may progress:

• We discuss the problem in concrete terms.
• We evaluate its negative effects on your life.
• We figure out exactly how it works in your day.
• We consider skills to reduce the problem.
• We identify a path that confirms your values and promotes positive change.

My clients include men who are struggling with stress and weakened self-esteem, or with the misuse of sex or substances, women learning to stand up to insecurity and self-doubt, couples who desire a stronger connection and renewed trust, and parents who are feeling overwhelmed by their child's behaviour, anger, or substance use

The use of mindfulness

With more than ten years of training and daily meditation, I may bring up mindfulness skills to help reduce the problem at hand.
