Social Worker

 

Brigitte is a registered social worker since 1996 and holds a master’s degree in Social Work from l'Université de Moncton since 2016.

​

She has experience working with a wide range population (individuals of all ages, couples, families, groups), in fields related to child/adult protection, probation, family enhancement, gender and/or roles-based violence, mental health, acute psychiatry, and as a provincial clinical consultant  within child psychiatry and concurrent disorders treatment teams.

 

She practices with an awareness of Aboriginal People’s challenges – and considered an ally – having worked in three different native communities (NB, QC.) and in two territories in northern Canada. She is currently a designated mental health service provider with Health Canada, offering crisis response to these individuals in the Atlantic region and Quebec province.

​

EMDR therapy clinician since 2017 (certified level), she also holds certificates in mediation, hypnosis, and in critical incident and stress management response. She is currently enrolled in a basic neuroscience certificate, since September 2022.

​

Brigitte has recently completed a year in a specialized sexual assault crisis centre in Alberta, working as a front-line emergency responder, alongside survivors who have been touched by sexual violence (historical or current), assaults, human trafficking and/or sexual exploitation. 

Having returned to the fold in northern NB, she now focuses her practice on anything trauma related (in-utero, childhood, developmental, intergenerational, attachment-focused, sexual abuse, physical, emotional, verbal, addictions, grief, suicide, natural disaster, vehicle accidents, etc.).
