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.

Hi, I’m Sage
I am a counselling student passionate about helping others and am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University.
As a lifelong athlete with a background in kinesiology and psychology, I bring a deep appreciation for the connection between the mind and body. This foundation shapes my holistic and empathetic approach to counselling, where I aim to support clients in a compassionate space where you feel supported and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, caught in unhelpful patterns, or simply seeking a space to process life’s ups and downs, you don’t have to face it alone. Everyone’s story is unique, and I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where we can work together to ensure you feel heard, understood, and supported while gaining tools to move forward.
I am drawn to therapeutic approaches such as CBT and Person-Centered therapy, with a focus on discovering what resonates best with you. Together we’ll explore how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours are interconnected, while also creating space for self-compassion, present-moment awareness, and personal growth. I aim to meet you where you are at and would be honoured to walk alongside you- offering support and guidance in a way that feels right for you.

Student InternHi, I’m Taylor. I’m currently completing my internship as part of my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology through Yorkville University.
As a developing therapist, I don’t have all the answers, but I do bring curiosity, compassion, and a genuine commitment to understanding your world. I see therapy as a space we create together, somewhere you can feel supported without pressure and explore what really matters to you, in your own way and time.
I’m especially drawn to approaches that center on core emotional experiences, such as humanistic and emotion-focused therapy. These frameworks align with my belief that healing begins with genuine connection and self-understanding.
Having experienced what it’s like to be on the other side of the therapeutic space, I bring a grounded and compassionate perspective to my work, and I look forward to meeting you and building a connection that supports your growth.
Areas of Interest:
Coping skills, Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Life Transitions, Relationship issues, Self Esteem, Stress
Treatment Approach:
Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Attachment-based, CBT, Strength-based, Narrative, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, Culturally Sensitive , Psychodynamic.

Hi, I'm David. I’m a Canadian Certified Addiction Counsellor with north of seven years of experience supporting individuals, families, and organizations. At GCCC, I casually serve as the team's addiction counselling specialist and co-supervisor of our outpatient program, the Rise Recovery Program.
My approach to counselling is trauma-informed, client-centred, highly psychoeducational, and firmly grounded in evidence-based practices. I specialize in supporting individuals with psychostimulant recovery, and am familar in medication-assisted and replacement therapies.
My professional background spans Housing First programs, residential treatment centres, community-based outreach, and counselling clinics. This has deepened my understanding of substance use disorders truly, and has prepared me to be what you need me to be in this process.
With limited availability, I am open to contributing on a case-by-case basis for situations requiring additional support or specialized insight.
