Confessions of a Therapist Who Lives in an RV

She has more resilience within her than she realizes. Sometimes she just needs someone to help her see it.

Meet Chantal: Therapist (And Human)

This month, as our theme is introductions, I wanted to take a moment to share a little about who I am and why I care so deeply about supporting teen girls.

If you're new here, welcome.

I'm Chantal, a Registered Psychologist, mom, athlete, traveller, and someone who genuinely believes that teen girls are far more capable, resilient, and resourceful than they often give themselves credit for.

For as long as I can remember, sport has been a huge part of my life. It's taught me:

  • confidence
  • resilience
  • teamwork
  • self-trust
  • courage

It's also taught me about setbacks, injuries, disappointment, and the mental pieces it takes to keep moving forward when things don't go according to plan.

That's one of the reasons I love working with teen girl athletes and young women.

I know that when a teen is struggling with anxiety, confidence, friendships, performance pressure, or injury recovery, it's rarely just about the challenge itself. It's often about identity, belonging, and learning to trust yourself through life's ups and downs.

One of the greatest privileges of my work is watching young people grow into themselves. To see confidence emerge where self-doubt once lived and to witness teens discover strengths they didn't know they had.

If you're raising a teen girl right now, know this: she has more resilience within her than she realizes. Sometimes she just needs someone to help her see it.

Come travel with me. I'm booking virtual sessions while we travel this summer- check it out here​

I can count on me! Keeping promises to yourself as the reps. "Oh no!" I stared at a blank screen 🫨 Everything I had just written was GONE. Hundreds of words. Thoughts that had been flowing effortlessly. Ideas that felt important and meaningful. Lost in an instant. My first reaction was frustration and panic. And then I caught myself. Trust. Trust that the words weren't really gone. Trust that the message was still inside me. Trust that I could begin again. As I sat down to rewrite, I realized...

Shake it off! But she noticed herself becoming more hesitant during certain plays When the Injury Didn’t Happen to Your Daughter… it still affects her. When we think about sports injuries, our attention naturally goes to the athlete who got hurt. We focus on recovery, rehabilitation, timelines, and getting them back into play. But there’s another side of sports injuries we don’t talk about enough:The impact on the athletes who witnessed it. Recently, I spoke with a former competitive athlete...

No commute. No squeezing in one more stop. Let’s be honest, teen girl athletes (and their parents) are busy! Between early morning conditioning, practices, games, school, friendships, and trying to catch a breath… their schedules are full. And their sport isn’t just something they do, it’s a huge part of who they are. So when it comes to mental health support, the last thing we want is to add more pressure. That’s why I love virtual sessions. They fit into real life. No commute.No rushing...
