Lise Rowell, MA, OPQ, RP
Clinical Director​

As the Clinical Director at The Tavi Centre, I oversee case files, supervision, and training via clinical  programs. I am a practicing psychotherapist and supervisor with almost two decades of clinical experience. I offer in-person and online psychotherapy, counselling, supervision and EMDR.

Working together...
I provide psychotherapy and counselling for individual adults and adolescents. I also offer supervision for practicing clinicians. 
​Drawing on my education, clinical training and varied work and life experience I am able to respond to your need for short or long-term therapy, in which we work to:

• Identify the changes you want to achieve in your life and relationships
• Explore experiences and feelings from your past that keep you from living a healthy present
• Gain deeper insight into your needs, choices, beliefs, emotions, and behaviours

• Address and change habits, patterns or addictions that don't support a healthy lifestyle
• Develop tools, effective skills and pathways to help you move toward emotional wholeness   

Therapeutic Approach:
I work from a psychodynamic self psychological intersubjective stance. I am a trained Eye Movement Desensitization + Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner.
​I invite you to reach out for a free initial consultation session to find out more about my practice and how we can work together to help you face your challenges and embrace growth.
