Welcome
Welcome to Gabrielle Cormier Counselling Centre! I am Gabrielle and I am glad you are here. A bit about me; I am a daughter, sister, wife, step-mother, and friend. I am a trauma-informed individual therapist and couples therapist. I enjoy working with clients towards healing.
The first time I thought about being a therapist, I was 16 years old, and reading a novel about a trauma psychologist. I remember thinking to myself – I want to do that. I want to help people come to a place of healing and wholeness. I want to help them live fulfilled lives again.
This is what we are all about at the Gabrielle Cormier Counselling Centre. We believe there is the hope after trauma.

Licensed Counselling Therapist-Candidate"My name is Marquelle. I believe that each person holds a story that is uniquely and beautifully theirs, a lifetime filled with moments of undeniable joy and unavoidable heartache. Just as each person's story is unique, I believe that all therapy should be uniquely tailored to the individual. I utilize a person-centered approach, focusing on what you hope to gain from the therapeutic journey, and view all things through a compassionate and strength-based lens. From the safety found within sessions and the power of being heard, I believe that solutions can be found and change can occur. I'd love to bear the heaviness with you, wade into the overwhelm, and try to make sense of all the murkiness around you to see hope. It may seem hidden right now, but I'd love to walk alongside you as we search for it again.

Student Intern
Hi, I’m Mikey, and I’m completing an internship for my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University. If you’re feeling alone with your struggles and need someone warm and accepting to talk to, you’ll find this in my counselling therapy practice.
We’ll collaborate to gain insights and help you make sense of your experience. We’ll examine patterns that don’t serve you, and I will help you let them go and gain new tools to cope and thrive. I’ll help you build hope and confidence and find a way forward that feels right to you.
During my internship I will be working with individuals using a humanistic approach, and with couples using an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach.

Student InternHi, I’m Zoe, a new student intern at GCCC.
I've always been fascinated by stories, whether through novels or conversations, and how they connect us to one another.
At university, I studied kinesiology, health sciences, and psychology, which gave me a holistic perspective on mental health and wellbeing. After earning my bachelor’s from Queen’s University, I worked in journalism before returning to my passion for mental health.
Counsellors develop unique philosophies through our studies and experiences. I’m drawn to ground-up approaches like psychodynamic, Adlerian, and Gestalt therapy, and I have a soft spot for acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness techniques. I believe in focusing on who you are, how you got here, and how we can work together to move forward.
Having been on both sides of the therapy room, I understand how challenging it can be to start your therapeutic journey. I value your time and would be honoured to embark on this journey with you.
