About us

Pro Q Therapy is the shared vision of Daria and Brandon Coulombe, who wanted a practice where people feel genuinely supported, respected, and understood, with evidence-based care and real human connection.

Daria offers structured, trauma-informed therapy rooted in CBT, DBT, and EMDR-informed work, drawing on her background as a teacher, addiction counsellor, and clinical leader. Brandon brings over 25 years of hospital-based experience and focuses on compassionate, practical therapy that helps people build stability and sustainable coping strategies.

Psychodynamic Therapy Sessions

Our psychodynamic sessions offer a secure, analytical sanctuary where you can investigate your unconscious patterns and formative history with the deep clinical attunement your complexity requires.

During your initial consultation, your clinician prioritizes understanding your personal history, the unconscious drivers behind your symptoms, and the relational patterns you wish to transform. Following this developmental assessment, ongoing sessions focus on illuminating your inner world, exploring the interplay between past and present, and achieving the deep psychological integration that fosters lasting, structural change.

Psychodynamic Therapy Methods

At ProQ, we facilitate a deep, relational investigation into the architecture of your psyche. Our psychodynamic approach focuses on the following foundational pillars:

We look beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover the hidden drivers of your behavior. By investigating the “shadow” aspects of your personality, we help you understand why you feel stuck in certain cycles, transforming unconscious impulses into conscious choices.

We utilize the relationship between you and your clinician as a “living laboratory.” By observing how you relate to your therapist, we gain immediate insight into your interpersonal patterns, allowing you to rework your attachment styles in a safe, real-time environment.

Everyone develops internal “shields” to protect against emotional pain. We help you identify these defenses—such as avoidance, projection, or intellectualization—and determine which are still serving you and which are preventing you from experiencing true intimacy and growth.

Your early experiences serve as the blueprint for your adult life. We explore your developmental history to understand how early bonds shaped your current worldview, helping you heal ancestral or childhood wounds that continue to echo in your present-day relationships.

We tap into the symbolic language of your subconscious through dream analysis and free association. This allows us to bypass the logical “gatekeeper” of the mind, accessing deeper insights and creative solutions that are often hidden from your everyday awareness.

The body often remembers what the mind tries to forget. We pay close attention to your “felt sense”—the physical sensations and shifts in affect during our sessions—to help you process stored emotional energy and achieve a more integrated, whole-body sense of self.

Challenges we can face together

Psychodynamic therapy is a profound, insight-driven modality that investigates the intricate layers of the human experience, addressing the root causes of persistent emotional and relational difficulties. Through a dedicated clinical alliance, you can uncover the hidden scripts of your internal world, integrate fragmented aspects of the self, and achieve a durable, structural shift in how you relate to yourself and others.

Fundamental and Lasting Personality Change

We move beyond the "bandage" approach of surface-level symptoms to address the very architecture of your psyche. By resolving the underlying conflicts that drive your distress, we facilitate shifts in your core personality and behavioral templates that are enduring and self-sustaining, rather than temporary fixes that fade once the immediate crisis passes.

Profound and Nuanced Self-Awareness

You will develop a rich, multidimensional understanding of your own internal theater—including the unconscious scripts, hidden motivations, and the formative origins of your most deeply held beliefs. This insight allows you to see the "blind spots" that previously dictated your choices, giving you the agency to act with conscious intent rather than reactive impulse.

Improved Relational Health & Interpersonal Blueprints

Our work focuses on identifying and dismantling the restrictive, repetitive relationship patterns—often rooted in early attachment—that have kept you feeling unsatisfied or misunderstood. By reworking these internal blueprints, you become capable of forming healthier, more secure connections built on genuine mutual understanding and emotional availability.

Increased Emotional Resilience & Affect Tolerance

You will gain the sophisticated capacity to tolerate, sit with, and process intense or difficult emotions without the desperate need to resort to old, destructive defense mechanisms. This expansion of your "emotional bandwidth" allows you to navigate life’s inevitable stressors with a grounded sense of composure and a more flexible psychological response.

Reclaiming and Integrating Your Narrative

We work to construct a cohesive, compassionate, and fully integrated understanding of your life story, including the parts that have previously felt too painful to own. This biographical integration significantly reduces internal conflict, chronic guilt, and the "fragmented" feeling that often accompanies suppressed or unprocessed history.

Integration of the "Shadow" and Repressed Aspects

Psychodynamic therapy invites you to acknowledge and integrate the parts of yourself—fears, desires, or traits—that you have previously judged, repressed, or "pushed into the shadow." By bringing these aspects into the light of conscious awareness, you reduce the psychic energy spent on self-denial, leading to a profound sense of wholeness and authenticity.

Processing Transgenerational Patterns and Legacies

We investigate the "invisible loyalties" and emotional patterns passed down through your family lineage that may still be influencing your current behavior. By identifying these ancestral echoes, you can consciously decide which legacies to keep and which to break, effectively stopping the cycle of inherited trauma or dysfunction for future generations.

Enhanced Creative and Professional Vitality

When your internal conflicts are resolved, the mental energy previously used for "repression" is freed up for "sublimation"—the process of channeling deep drives into creative, professional, and intellectual pursuits. This often results in a surge of vitality, allowing you to engage with your work and passions with a renewed sense of purpose and unblocked focus.

Resolution of Internalized Relationships and the "Inner Voice"

We investigate the "internalized objects"—mental representations of past figures—that still dictate your self-worth. By identifying these unconscious "introjects," we help you separate your authentic desires from inherited criticisms, silencing the inner critic and fostering a truly autonomous, self-directed identity.

Your Voice, Your Journey:
Collaborative Therapy at Pro Q Therap

At Pro Q Therapy, you’re not just receiving care – you’re our valued partner in building lasting mental wellness together.
