Radiant Psychotherapy’s Team
Founder and Clinical Director
Rachael Pogue
Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Welcome! My name is Rachael, and I am honoured to support you on your journey of healing and self-discovery. With a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Guelph, I bring a diverse academic background to my practice.
Having lived with chronic pain and illness myself, I understand the complexities and challenges that come with these experiences. This personal journey has deepened my compassion and fuelled my passion for supporting others who face similar struggles. I specialize in working with individuals living with chronic pain and illness, as well as those dealing with anxiety and relational issues.
I believe that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I practice from a humanistic, empathetic, and eclectic approach. I draw from mindfulness, narrative therapy, emotionally focused, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed perspectives to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. My goal is to create a warm, safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
It takes immense courage and strength to reach out for help, and I feel privileged to stand alongside you as we navigate your path to growth and resilience. Together, we can uncover the tools and insights you need to embrace a more fulfilling life.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, cooking, traveling, meditating, yoga, being outside in nature and walking my dog!
Nicole Boon
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Hi, I’m Nicole, and I feel privileged to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges and discover your own strength and resilience. My clinical approach is grounded in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment theory, guided by trauma-sensitive and client-centered principles. I see therapy as a collaborative process where emotional awareness and understanding foster meaningful change. Together, we’ll explore difficult feelings and patterns to build self-compassion, resilience, and authentic connection.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University and bring nearly ten years of teaching experience, which has deepened my respect for those facing stress, burnout, and life transitions. I work with adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, low self-worth, and major life changes. I also enjoy supporting couples in recognizing and shifting patterns that keep them feeling stuck, helping them build healthier connections. I tailor evidence-based approaches to your unique pace and needs, offering a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to reconnect with your authentic self, I’m here to support your growth and healing.
Outside of work, I enjoy pottery, reading, cooking, and hiking with my dog, activities that help me stay grounded and inspired.
Catherine Levesque
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Hi and Bonjour I am Catherine! My passion is helping individuals overcome attachment wounds, codependency, and narcissistic abuse. I am dedicated to empowering people of all genders to live their lives authentically. Taking the time to reach out for support and face ourselves takes a lot of courage, so be proud of yourself for showing yourself the love you are showing to yourself.
I bring 4 years of experience working with people suffering in crisis & trauma, more specifically recovering from substance abuse and addiction. I hold a Master’s degree in counselling psychology from Yorkville University, and have worked in various roles in community agencies, such as the Canadian Mental Health Association, and in treatment centres as an Addictions Counsellor. My experience has given me knowledge and insight that significantly enhances my ability to support individuals simultaneously through the impacts that addictions can bring in a person's life, such as grief and toxic cycles in relationships. As a dedicated bilingual (French/English) clinician, I am committed to helping clients learn how to love, trust, and overcome fears in their relationships. As a result of my own therapeutic journey, I have learned the importance of finding a counselor who truly understands your unique situation, especially when dealing with complex issues.
With a strong focus on attachment trauma, complex trauma, and codependency, I am dedicated to continuous specialized education, training, and professional consultation to enhance my application of modified EMDR Therapy in these areas.
