EVOKE MIND COUNSELLING
About Marc Taillon
Welcome to Evoke Mind Counselling. I’m Marc Taillon, a Clinical Social Worker and certified hypnotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, youth, and families through mental health challenges, relationship and family conflict, substance use, grief, and personal transitions.
My approach to counselling is grounded in professional experience, ongoing education, and a commitment to understanding each person’s unique circumstances.
I aim to provide a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your concerns, gain new perspectives, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
My Experience and Professional Background
2002
Bachelor of Social Work from the Université de Moncton
I began my career in child protection services. I later joined Horizon Health Network in Moncton, where I worked with youth and families experiencing mental health and substance use challenges.
After 12 years in this setting, I transitioned to working with adults, continuing my commitment to supporting people through complex life circumstances and personal challenges.
Over the course of my career, I have developed extensive experience supporting clients with concerns including anxiety, substance use and recovery, grief and loss, self-esteem, assertiveness, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and pain management.
Member of the New Brunswick Association of Social Workers (NBASW)
I am a proud member of the New Brunswick Association of Social Workers (NBASW), and I remain committed to professional development and providing thoughtful, individualized care.
EMDR training with Roy Kiessling (40 hours) &
In 2025, I expanded my clinical training to include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), completing 40 hours of training with Roy Kiessling and 10 hours of individual post-training consultation. This evidence-based approach helps clients process distressing memories and reduce emotional distress in a supportive, structured therapeutic environment.
Specialized Training in Hypnotherapy and Grief Recovery
Certified Hypnotherapist from
École d’Hypnose Thérapeutique et Médicale du Québec and New Brunswick
In addition to my background in social work, I am a certified hypnotherapist, having completed over 1,250 hours of specialized training through the École d’Hypnose Thérapeutique et Médicale du Québec and New Brunswick.
This comprehensive training emphasizes a structured, research-informed approach to therapeutic hypnosis. I am also pursuing a Master’s degree in hypnotherapy and am a member of the National Association of Naturopaths.
Certified Grief Recovery Specialist from Grief Recovery Institute USA
My additional certification as a Grief Recovery Specialist through the Grief Recovery Institute in the United States allows me to support individuals navigating grief, loss, and significant life transitions. I recognize that grief can take many forms, and I aim to help clients explore their experiences in a supportive and respectful environment.
My Counselling Approach
My approach is integrative, client-centred, and trauma-informed. I draw on my professional background and therapeutic training to adapt the counselling process to each client’s needs, concerns, and goals.
Rather than assuming that one approach works for everyone, I focus on understanding your experiences and working collaboratively to identify suitable ways forward.
Depending on your needs, counselling may involve exploring thought patterns and behaviours, developing coping strategies, strengthening communication and assertiveness, or working through grief and other challenging experiences. Hypnotherapy may also be incorporated where appropriate.
I believe that meaningful progress begins with a respectful therapeutic relationship in which you feel heard and supported, without judgment or pressure to move faster than you are comfortable with.
A Commitment to Recovery and Personal Growth
My dedication to this work is also shaped by my background as a cadet and instructor at CFB Greenwood, where I developed a strong foundation in discipline, leadership, and resilience.
These experiences continue to inform my appreciation for the different ways people navigate adversity and work toward change.
At Evoke Mind Counselling in Moncton, New Brunswick, I offer counselling and hypnotherapy services for individuals, couples, and families seeking support with mental health concerns, substance use recovery, grief, relationship challenges, and personal growth.
My goal is to help you better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and explore possibilities for recovery, growth, and greater well-being.
If you are looking for professional counselling or hypnotherapy in Moncton, NB, I welcome the opportunity to connect with you and discuss your needs.
