As a therapist, I create a warm, safe, nonjudgmental environment for people to be able to open up and share their feelings and make sense of what is troubling them. I strive to empower people and help them realize the strength and potential they possess. My experience has prepared me well to be able to interact and connect with a wide variety of individuals from diverse backgrounds. I have 21 years experience working in the mental health field, 18 years of which as a therapist. I have a great deal of experience focusing on areas like relationship issues, parenting, communication skills, mood management, and conflict resolution. In my practice, I utilize a number of theoretical orientations and therapy styles, as I find that different techniques work with different people. I primarily draw from humanistic, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral, and solutions focused theories. My approach to therapy is meeting the client where they're at, I follow your lead. I begin by asking questions to get a sense of what kinds of things you're struggling with, and see if we can figure out a direction we want to move in. We go at a pace that you're comfortable with. Sometimes just having someone to talk with to help you identify and process your feelings can provide some relief, especially if there's a lot of stuff bottled up. Then we can work toward identifying areas of your life that you're not satisfied with, and develop some basic goals to drive our work together.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jeremee (Mimi) Bouchard. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Mimi has an interest that goes beyond just the session. She takes the time to delve deeper and also brings tangible solutions to the table. I think that growth is a personal journey and she allows for every person to take the path that is best for them. She is great.

Mimi is receptive to our discussions and offers helpful ideas while acknowledging efforts I'm making. She also is patient about asking questions, and uses questions to provoke critical thinking so I can figure out solutions or envision alternatives that may be useful for my situation as opposed to imposing one on me.

I didn’t realize how helpful therapy would be for me, until I started working with Mimi. I’ve been through several therapists, all which I haven’t been a good match with. Mimi listens with empathy and has such great insight as to where my feelings and emotions may be coming from. I feel like I’m working through a lot of my trauma and healing daily. I appreciate having Mimi as my therapist.
