Jayne Lessard is devoted to helping individuals develop a treatment plan that best fits their needs and expectations. Jayne views her clients with compassion and understanding. She believes that we all have tendencies we don’t like, that are tempered by positive ones. Rather than deny or hide these tendencies (our dark side) therapy is a place where they can be acknowledged and explored. Rather than hide, run from or create defenses against these negative feelings therapy helps a person look beyond the symptoms to the core wounds and trauma that needs healing.
Jayne Lessard understands her clients’ needs may vary throughout their treatment. She seeks to help each client build on their natural strengths and build the essential skills necessary for coping, relationship building, emotional regulation and mood management.
Jayne Lessard has a very holistic approach as a counselor. Her therapeutic style is relatively direct. She often employs techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory and Interpersonal Theory. Although Jayne comes from a Christian worldview, she is open to working with clients who do not share her background.

Some health insurance companies will reimburse clients for counseling service and some will not.
