Meet Kasandra
Kasandra Lauzon is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Mariani and Associates and is working under the supervision of Dr. Mariani.. She supports adolescents and adults navigating emotional challenges, difficult experiences, and periods of change.
Her approach is collaborative, person centred, and strengths based. Kasandra works to create a respectful and non judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop insight, and work toward goals that are meaningful to them.
AREA OF FOCUS
Concerns Kasandra Works With
Kasandra supports clients across a range of concerns and life experiences, including:
Stress & Overwhelm
Support for navigating stress, burnout, competing demands, and periods when everyday life begins to feel difficult to manage.
Self Esteem & Life Transitions
Exploring identity, confidence, change, and the challenges that can accompany different stages of life.
Grief & Loss
A supportive space for processing grief, loss, adjustment, and the emotions that can accompany significant change.
Addiction & Mental Health
Supporting clients as they explore patterns, experiences, and concerns related to addiction and emotional wellbeing.
BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE
Understanding the connections
Kasandra holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Sport Psychology.
She has also completed additional education in Recreation Therapy and Addictions and Mental Health, contributing to a broad understanding of wellbeing, behaviour, coping, and the different factors that can influence a person’s experiences.
APPROACH TO THERAPY
Building on what is already there
Kasandra helps clients explore connections among their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and experiences. Together, these patterns can provide a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to current challenges. Her work also focuses on developing practical coping strategies that clients can use in everyday life, while supporting greater insight, resilience, and confidence in navigating difficult experiences. She is currently working towards becoming a Registered Psychotherapist with CRPO. While she completes her qualifying hours, she works under the supervision of Dr. Mariani.
Kasandra believes therapy works best when clients feel heard, respected, and involved in the process. She views therapy as something built collaboratively rather than something done to a person. Her goal is to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen resilience, reconnect with what matters to them, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.
