Hi, I’m Ariane Foucher

I’m the owner of very okay, but I’m also someone’s mom, a poet, and an avid puzzle solver. I identify as neurodivergent and neuroqueer. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I work mostly with couples and neurodivergent individuals.

Areas of focus

Clients often seek my help to explore:

My therapeutic approach

My work is grounded in existential psychotherapy. It is important for clients to know that my approach is dynamic (i.e. unstructured) and direct. I view human experiences through a non-pathological lens, recognizing the unique complexity and humanity of each individual beyond labels. I tend to work well with those who have attended therapy in the past and have already cultivated a high level of self-awareness.

My approach is trauma-informed, and I am pursuing specialized training in the treatment of complex trauma. My work combines depth, insight, and emotional attunement to help clients navigate their inner world and relationships, drawing on tools from EFT, parts work (IFS), attachment theory, and psychodynamic frameworks.
