Welcome!

“My name is Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, and I am extremely proud to be the FRP-BC Parent Champion.”

“I am a registered psychologist, parenting educator, author, and a mom to two growing boys. I firmly believe in the power of connection; when we strive to keep relationship at the forefront of our parenting practice, we are better able to approach tough moments with compassion and understanding. Becoming a parent gives us the unique opportunity to reflect and grow alongside our children – a process that isn’t always easy, but is incredibly worth it in the end.”
