Ari looking okay

Hi, I’m Ariane Foucher

I’m the owner of very okay, but I’m also someone’s mom and a lightning-fast jigsaw puzzle solver. I identify as multiply-neurodivergent and neuroqueer.

When I discovered my neurodivergence in my thirties, I was finally able to accept that I’m not broken—my mind is just wired differently. This journey allowed me to deeply connect to my authentic self, and I created very okay with the hope to help other complex minds get there too.

I have a special interest in serving those who identify as gifted, creative, neurodivergent, and/or out-of-the-box thinkers. Together, we explore the depths of their minds as fellow travellers. Grounded in existentialism, our work together is often one of meaning-making and authenticity.

I am currently offering low-cost psychotherapy for Canadians at Alli Therapy as an Intern Therapist. I will be able to accept new private practice clients in September 2025.

My therapeutic approach

My work is grounded in existential psychotherapy and philosophy. It is important for clients to know that my approach is mostly unstructured and that I am quite direct. I view human experiences through a non-pathological lens, and recognize the unique complexity and humanity of each individual—beyond labels.

I tend to work well with those who have attended therapy in the past and have already cultivated a high level of self-awareness—those who are now looking to expand their consciousness and integrate the tools they have gathered over time.

Clients often seek my therapeutic help to explore:

  • Authenticity, meaning, and purpose;

  • Complex trauma (c-ptsd);

  • Existential questions, anxiety, and depression;

  • Giftedness and positive disintegration;

  • Grief and loss;

  • Late-identified neurodivergence (autism, AuDHD, ADHD);

  • Life transitions;

  • Mixed-neurotype relationships.
