Therapists in Montréal, QC

I have 20+ years of experience working with individuals suffering from alcohol and drug dependence and psychological problems including gambling, borderline personality disorder, anxiety and mood disorders. Until 2022 I was a staff member at the Addictions Unit of the McGill University Health Centre. I use a variety of motivational and psychological approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for individuals, couples and groups. Mindfulness-Integrated CBT techniques are particularly useful for the treatment of individuals recovering from substance dependence.

I am a fully bilingual clinical psychologist/psychotherapist with 28 years of rich and varied clinical experience within medical settings and mental health services in the UK and France. I provide a wide range of psychological interventions always tailored to a patient's needs. I help patients get their life back on track as I care deeply about their psychological and physical wellbeing. Having a highly sensitive temperament myself, I offer help to those who have identified themselves as highly sensitive and as a result, face issues that are difficult to deal with. My approach, while primarily psychodynamic, includes EMDR, cognitive strategies, schema therapy, mindfulness.

Have you struggled with feelings of depression, anxiety or anger that you believe are beyond your control? Do you have difficulty getting along with family or friends? Have you turned to alcohol or drugs to cope? Have you experienced trauma or abuse? I can help you feel more balanced and in control. We work together to help you identify problematic ways of thinking, learn new ways of coping, and meet your goals. We can work on current issues or things that are troubling you from your past, whichever you choose. I also do assessments for legal purposes.

Welcome! I work with career-minded people who struggle with ADHD, Anxiety, Trauma and Substance Use. I work with people who are in high-pressure or creative fields who feel they can be doing better, but struggle to get there on their own. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can explore concerns and learn tools to cope. I understand everyone is at a different place in their journey, and I’ll meet you where you are at. I feel fortunate to have worked in many settings that uplift 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC populations.

I specialize in therapy for men! I also work with women and people, regardless of their gender identification, sexual orientation, their ethnic and cultural background! :) Do you feel trapped? Nobody understands you? You have tried everything but nothing works? You've said it, shouted it, screamed it but no one heard you? It is difficult or impossible to say no without feeling guilty? You have been told that crying is for the weak? You've been told that something is wrong with you? I can help you work through all of this and help you become yourself again! I also offer ADHD coaching and couple's therapy (for Ontario's residents)
