Therapists in H2J
Waitlist for appointments on Tues.-Friday, 10:30-1pm. Feeling sad, guilty, panicky, overwhelmed? Everyone experiences periods of stress, anxiety, grief, and conflict, so when you're feeling off it can be hard to know if it's time to see a professional. The fact that you are looking for a psychologist is a good indicator of your readiness to do something different. I am a psychologist licenced by the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec and I have experience in helping people with a large breadth of difficulties. I am trained to offer both CBT and psychodynamic therapies.

I believe that when we are supported and cared for, we can truly thrive. My goal as a clinical social worker is to help people engage in healing and repair, with themselves and others, regardless of their experience or background. I work primarily with adults and couples, with a particular interest in challenges related to 2SLGBTQ+ identity and experiences with grief, communication, depression, and interpersonal conflict. I look forward to embarking on this journey with you with warmth, connection and curiosity!

Hi there! I'm a neurodivergent therapist who takes a unique approach beyond traditional talk therapy, weaving in art-based methods, somatic therapy, and parts work. The focus of our work together is on gently exploring the parts of yourself that might feel uncomfortable or carry shame—whether it’s a critical inner voice or aspects you may keep tucked away. My aim is to help you feel more at home with all parts of yourself, fostering self-compassion and finding ways to ease feelings of overwhelm through self-accommodation and emotional regulation.

Whether you are dealing with past trauma or current triggers that keep you from moving forward, there are always ways to process what has happened and how we can work together towards a more fulfilling future. As an art therapist with a trauma-informed lens, I incorporate counselling, somatic awareness, movement, and play into my work, to enhance resiliency and promote healing. Issues I have worked on include intimate partner violence, self-harm, sexual abuse, and refugee, immigration and acculturation issues, as well as intergenerational trauma.

Français/English/Español available. Do you feel stuck in life? Do you feel the need to put your emotions into words, and talk to someone who can support you through the trials you're going through? As a social worker for over 25 years, I help people gain the perspective they need to find their own solutions to their problems. I guide them through difficult times so that they can develop a better knowledge of themselves and a different perspective on a situation. I facilitate awareness that leads to concrete actions and changes while respecting each person's pace.

Psychotherapy is a good place to ease suffering, to arrive at more satisfying decisions, and to gain vitality. Are you worried about certain symptoms, or feeling unable to cope with emotions? Maybe you are discouraged, confused, or unsatisfied with "stuck" patterns in your relationships. Therapy offers a re-looking at what is close to us already. Sometimes, we recognize what we know, but in a different way. What frees us from lonely paralysis or the repetition of unsatisfying behaviour or thinking is the presence of another. This blind circle of reflection only opens up when there is someone to talk to.

My practice is designed to meet your specific requirements for an individual or couple. I have an integrative approach based on emotion-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness, somatic body exercise (Trauma), hypnosis exercise, and humanistic therapy. I also use Neurofeedback (ILF). I work with you to enhance your couple connection by identifying how your emotions, mind, and stress all work together to trigger inappropriate ideas, feelings, and behaviors, creating a dynamic in your relationship that may be undesirable. I help you have greater access to your own healing power, so you can help yourself and/or balance your relationship.

Therapy can help people better understand themselves and find greater meaning in their lives. People enter therapy for a wide range of reasons, often involving difficulty solving a problem in their lives on their own. Some people, for example, are having difficulty in a romantic relationship and wonder how to improve the relationship, or end it. Other people experience conflict or anxiety in a wide range of interpersonal relationships and enter therapy as a means of improving their communication skills and the quality of their relationships. I help people in both monogamous and polyamorous relationships.

I work with teens and young adults who carry the weight of single-event and complex trauma, however these manifest, as well as clients with eating disorders. These issues can manifest in the form of maladaptive coping mechanisms, triggers that come up in daily life, and more. Our sessions will take place in a calm, safe environment that allows us to explore the roots of struggles like anxiety and depression.

Many of us face times in our lives when we need support to get through difficult periods. I see psychotherapy as a safe space to explore yourself, gain self-insight and understanding, and develop tools and resources to face the ups and downs of life. Since 2011, I have had the chance to work with adults with various needs and challenges. I have supported clients to work through relationship difficulties, repetitive patterns that were no longer serving them, anxiety, depression, painful emotions related to present or past events (including traumas), self-esteem issues, grief and loss, and adjustment to chronic illness.

I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients to identify their motivation for change, sense of self, and resiliency. It is always my goal to give care to your knowledge, desires, character strengths and connections. We will honour what guides you while building capacity for curiosity and self-compassion in the places that feel most difficult. We can work on anxiety and depression, trauma, life transitions, relationships, coping skills, and identity exploration. Practice theories I utilize include attachment theory, psychodynamic approaches, and Emotion Focused Therapy.
