Therapists in Montréal, QC

Maya Angelou once said, “there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”. I am here to support you in expressing your untold stories. I will witness and listen to your untold stories and help you express and process them through the tools that expressive arts therapies provide, particularly art. Art therapy is a less challenging medium to explore your emotional needs. Through our art therapy sessions I will help you catch those overwhelming emotions and entangled thoughts. Together we will be able to find the best strategies for you to make the changes you need to feel better and heal.

I believe that seeking support from another human being is a very natural thing to do. As a therapist, I believe that my humanity is an asset in supporting clients as they work through challenges, developing a deeper understanding of their lives. As a counsellor and art therapist, I focus on creating a therapeutic relationship based on trust, where I bring a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach paired with my training to help clients work through whatever challenges they are facing. I have a special passion for working with immigrants and refugees: as a newcomer to Canada, I understand the struggles that are often presented.

I have been working to help my clients overcome difficulties and challenges in private practice as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Creative Arts Therapist since 2004. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families in a supportive and strength based framework, helping my clients identify and work through whatever may be holding them back from manifesting their best self. I have treated clients with issues related to/stemming from: Depression, Anxiety, Self-mutilative behaviours, Bullying/social marginalization, Eating Disorders, Sexuality, Adjustment Disorders, Family Life Cycle Events, Divorce, Trauma, Illness / grief. Additionally I am trained in EMDR and employ this modality when applicable.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who works with an experienced psychiatrist.

Dominique has 10 years of clinical experience in a wide range of issues, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders and attachment disorders. She has worked with individuals suffering from emotional, interpersonal and/or family difficulties due to a variety of situations: bereavement, separation, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma linked to psychological, physical and sexual abuse, life transitions, difficulties and issues associated with the perinatal period.

In my practice, I work with clients who are grappling with a range of issues, from navigating their gender or sexual orientation in a world that often lacks understanding and acceptance, to managing the unique challenges that come with being/suspecting being neurodiverse. Many of my clients struggle with internalized shame and societal stigma, and my goal is to reduce these barriers by fostering a sense of validation and support. Additionally, I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with codependency and relational wounds, helping them navigate healthier relationship dynamics.

We are a team of clinicians that are trained to work with students, individuals, couples and families. That excel at helping you expand your emotional tolerance, reactions & communication skills. Too many of us suffer in silence with anxiety, low self-esteem, unprocessed trauma and anger. You are not alone and we are here to encourage you to let those experiences be felt in a safe & non-judgmental environment. We know how hard it can be for most people to do therapy & our goal is to make it engaging, insightful & rewarding. To be vulnerable means not having our deepest feelings and secrets shot down. We use an integrative approach.

I'm a clinical psychologist specialized in working with teens and young adults struggling with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, emotion regulation, self-harm, self-esteem, trauma, (etc). Seeking help takes courage. Finding the right therapist is a first step toward working on improving your wellbeing. Therapy provides a safe space in which to better understand yourself and your experiences, learn to deal with emotions, thoughts, behaviours or relationships in healthier ways, and develop personalized tools to better cope with any challenges.

Even though you may have close friends or loved-ones in whom you can confide, sometimes you can feel like you are going round in circles, or you worry about over-burdening them. The recent pandemic has brought many challenges to all of our lives and I specialise in working with individuals and couples who are struggling in their relationships and communications with others. Depending on the difficulties you are facing, as well as your personality style, different approaches can be used to help you manage better.
