My Approach

SANDRINE FLORENT
RP , M.A., CCC

Hello, Bonjour!

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario and Nova Scotia, currently pursuing a PhD in grief counselling. My journey began in France and led me to Canada, where I followed my passion for supporting others through life’s most challenging moments after a long career in a national corporation. I specialize in grief, trauma, and perinatal mental health and hold advanced certifications in these areas.

With experience as a mental health ambassador and assessor, I provide clinical recommendations that consider the impact of anti-Black racism on clients’ lives and interactions with the justice system for the ANSJI. My multicultural background and bilingual practice (French and English) allow me to offer a safe, understanding space for healing and growth.

Outside of my professional life, I cherish time with my family, enjoy portrait photography, cooking, travelling, and nurturing my creative writing projects. I am here to help you find balance, resilience, and hope on your unique journey.

Clinical Experiences

Since 2021, I have supported a diverse client base in a private psychotherapy practice in Ottawa, offering services in both French and English. My clinical experience includes working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, perinatal loss, trauma (including PTSD, racial and intergenerational trauma), life transitions, and relational challenges. I also provide couples therapy and support for high-risk healthcare and public service professionals through a trauma-informed, multicultural, person-centered approach.
