PSYCHOTHERAPY
Welcome to Awkward Owl Psychotherapy
Therapy is, for many of us, one of the only spaces where we can allow ourselves to be fully seen without judgment or expectations.
Many people come to psychotherapy having experienced a chronic sense of loneliness or other-ness, having had to hide or reject parts of themselves in an effort to find acceptance and belonging. Therapy is a space where we can learn to "unmask" and share all of the emotions and experiences that have built up over time, that often feel tangled, confusing, overwhelming, or harmful.
​
I am experienced working with clients with a history of childhood trauma, mood disorders, low self-esteem, and eating disorders. I bring an attachment and trauma-informed approach to psychotherapy, as well as warmth, honesty, observation, and intense curiosity. Although I work with all types of people, as a neurodivergent therapist, I offer people who identify as a creative, ADHD, AuDHD, Autistic, gifted, or highly sensitive an experience of shared communication and perceptive styles.
Therapy with me is often reflective, thought-provoking, emotional, and a bit quirky. I deeply value connection and showing up with authenticity and transparency so that we can collaborate and co-create change that feels real. Clients are able to build an understanding of themselves and their experiences, and when we create trust and self-awareness on a deeper level, clients feel a transformation in their sense of self and ways of living.

Hi, I'm Brittany Dagenais (she/her) and I'm a
Registered Psychotherapist
I absolutely love the work I do with clients! I work with individuals of all genders and sexualities to find relief from deeply held distress and emotional pain.
At the heart of my therapeutic philosophy is the belief that healing happens within relationships, not within aloneness. A strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of meaningful therapy. Insight and skills are important, but it is warmth, care, and unconditional acceptance that create the stable foundation needed for change.
