Laryssa Levesque

Hi, I’m Laryssa (she/her), a Registered Psychotherapist in Barrie and founder of Inner Growth Counselling. I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology and an Honours Bachelors of Science with a specialization in Neuroscience, and I work with individuals ages 18+ virtually across Ontario.

On the outside, you might look like you have it all together- but inside, it feels like a constant push to keep up. You overthink, over-give, and hold yourself to high standards, yet still feel like it’s never quite “good enough.” You might struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, or setting boundaries in your relationships or at work. Maybe you’re navigating a big life transition like career changes, new or ending relationships, fertility challenges or parenthood, and feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainty your future holds.

This is where I come in.

I offer a space that feels real, supportive, and non-judgmental, where you don’t have to have it all figured out. My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and emotion-focused and attachment-based therapies, while always keeping your unique experiences and goals at the core of our work.

I am not here to rush or to “fix”. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and help you feel more grounded, clear, and like yourself again. Therapy with me isn’t about adding more to your plate- it’s about helping you step out of survival mode, set boundaries with confidence, and create a life that actually feels good to live.

Let me help alleviate the burdens you’ve likely been bearing all on your own, and book a free 15min consultation to see if we are a good fit.
