EVERYONE HAS A STORY, AND MINE JUST HAPPENED TO LEAD ME TO PSYCHOTHERAPY…
I’m Maria Legault, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and the owner of Spring Bloom Psychotherapy.
I’m so glad you are here!
My mission is to help my clients heal from past wounds, ditch shame, reclaim their worth, and navigate life’s messy transitions (yes, even menopause!) All that with depth and authenticity. No quick fixes. No more playing small!
Maybe you landed here because you feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating no matter what you do.
Perhaps that inner critic won’t stop making you believe you’re not good enough.
Maybe you spent years playing by other people’s rules- pleasing, proving, and pushing through.
It could be that the weight of anxiety, depression, shame, or past trauma is burdening you.
Possibly you could be navigating big life shifts.
Or, relationship issues and work stress could be giving you the blues.
Whatever you are struggling with, you don’t have to face it alone. We all need someone in our corner and I would love to help!
How Psychotherapy Can Help
What if real freedom comes from unbecoming everything they told you to be? What if it comes from meeting yourself like you would a friend?
With depth, authenticity, and a little irreverence, our online psychotherapy sessions will focus on what truly matters to you. I will meet you where you are, and we will explore this messy thing called life together.
Our therapy sessions might involve:
Grounding your nervous system
Connecting to your mind, body, and emotions to get to the root of what’s really going on.
Processing wounds and that pesky old baggage
Exploring your patterns and emotions
Untangling beliefs holding you back
Reconnecting with your authentic self
Integrating those shadow parts, most of us try to ignore
Crafting a life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and uniquely yours.
Helping you to bloom– sorry, I had to go there with the pun!
The Spring Bloom Psychotherapy Approach
EMPATHY
Therapy can feel intimidating, and opening up takes courage. I get it! That’s why I focus on creating a warm and non-judgmental space where you can eventually feel safe enough to share what’s really going on. Think of it as your weekly cocoon- a retreat from the noise of the world where you can focus entirely on yourself and your healing.
DEEP WORK
Let’s be real, quick fixes rarely lead to lasting change. If they did, you probably wouldn’t need a therapist! Together we will slowly dive beneath the surface to explore the roots of your patterns. By becoming aware of what’s driving your experiences, you’ll gain the tools to make choices that serve you. This isn’t just about “fixing” problems; it’s about understanding yourself on a deeper level and moving toward a more authentic and meaningful life.
INTEGRATIVE
Humans are beautifully complex, which is why I take a holistic approach that considers your mind, body, emotions, and even your spiritual side. While we will focus primarily on talk therapy, I might also bring in meditations, visualizations, movement, or even some art exercises. Only if you’re into it!
CREATIVITY
Before I became a psychotherapist, I completed a PhD in the Study and Practice of Art, including courses in art education and art therapy. This means that if creative expression is your thing, we can weave in some art-based practices to enhance your healing journey.
Our Online Psychotherapy Services
Psychotherapy isn’t just self-care- it’s a power move. It’s a pathway toward finding your ground, unpacking the messy stuff, and rewriting the stories that have been running the show for too long. Together, we’ll cut through the noise, look at what’s holding you back, and move towards the most unapologetic, authentic version of YOU.

Are the emotional ups and downs of perimenopause/menopause leaving you feeling overwhelmed? Do you want to speak about all of this with someone who`s been there and truly gets it?
Psychotherapy can help you navigate midlife with more ease. It can offer tools to work through the emotional rollercoaster, stress, and shifting values. Not to mention that it can offer strategies to cope with the mental toll of those (oh-so-fun) physical changes.
You can work towards meeting yourself where you are today. Because, let’s be real, you aren’t the same person you were 20 years ago(and thank goodness for that- in my case, anyway). This is your time to step into your wisdom, own the strength that comes from your experience, and embrace the strong and wise woman you’ve become. Midlife doesn’t need to be a crisis.
