Stefanie Richard (she/her)
I was excited to join as a director of CCTNB at the end of 2022. I join you from the city of Saint John, a guest of the Wolastoqiyik territory. It is a privilege to be a member of a fantastic cohort of individuals from across the province. I am a Licensed Counselling Therapist-Candidate, holding a master’s degree from Yorkville University. Since March of 2021 I have been working in private practice at Port City Counselling Services. At Port City I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients and participate in important mental health initiatives with local community organizations. Prior to becoming a counsellor I worked at a non-profit youth organization and in the insurance industry for almost 10 years. I am passionate about ensuring that the ethical standards of our profession are upheld and the public is protected.
