Therapists in H3Z

Dear clients, I am the President and co-founder of the Montreal Psychology Center. My specialties include Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Anxiety and Depression. In addition, I completed specialized training in couple therapy. While working as a therapist at Montreal’s Royal Victoria Hospital (2004-2007), I was the co-developer of a workshop for couples entitled “Make Love Better”. This 8-week seminar was designed to help couples improve their relationships by promoting effective communication and enhancing emotional and sexual intimacy. My expertise on couple problems has been sought after by the media (e.g., CJAD, Syd Miller Show).

I believe that times of hardship and difficulty can often provide opportunities for personal growth by leading one to take stock of one’s priorities, values, perceptions, relationships and environments; to replace dysfunctional coping strategies with more effective ones; to reevaluate and explore one’s goals; to discover what gives one’s life greater meaning and satisfaction, and to uncover one’s strengths and capacities. As a clinical psychologist (Ph.D) with extensive experience and training, I am dedicated to helping my clients realize their goals and explore opportunities for personal growth.

I am licensed psychotherapist, social worker and couple and family therapist who has been working in the mental health, with adults, couples, families, and teens for over ten years. I approach psychotherapy from a perspective of curiosity and compassion. I believe that, with support, all people are capable of strength, growth and resilience, even in the face of profound challenges.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or simply just stuck? While we all go through up's and down's in our lives, if you are experiencing more down's than up's, I can help you gain a better understanding of what is getting you down. I will teach you how to identify and challenge the negative thoughts that are blocking you and will give you the tools that you need to feel truly empowered. I have seen my clients transform their lives and would be honored to have the opportunity to help you to do the same!

For 20 years I have worked with adolescents, adults and couples facing difficult life stressors including relationship difficulties, separation, divorce, trauma, substance abuse, grief issues. My therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of my clients. I work with clients in an empathic way which fosters self-awareness and positive change. I integrate resilience principles and insight oriented/interpersonal strategies with cognitive-behavioral therapy, to promote coping skills and build self esteem. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and grief.

I practice a specialized form of therapy culled from the best of available dynamic modalities with the clear objective of getting to the source of a person's problem. It is applicable to a wide range of mental health disturbances such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, chronic pain, unexplained medical symptoms and/or problems with loss, emotions, relationships, assertion, self-esteem and self-defeat.

With a Masters degree from McGill University’s School of Social work, I use a strengths-based, humanistic approach to support preteens, teens and young adults. A bilingual worker, I support clients who struggle with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, behavioral difficulties, interpersonal conflicts, and complex trauma. LGBTQ + friendly, I focus on empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard to offer clients a safe space to explore their difficulties and overcome their challenges. In doing so, I aim to uncover each client’s full personal potential in the pursuit of becoming their best selves.

I can help you discover a different way of looking at your life to expose fresh opportunities and create new hope. I have facilitated the search for clarity in many clients by asking questions that expose the underlying obstacles to happiness and fulfillment, then suggesting strategies that provide opportunities for permanent change. With a listening, non-judgmental, easy-going approach to therapy along with a collaborative method that encourages a search for solutions on the part of both therapist and client, we will explore possibilities together. Effective communication enhances emotional and mental well-being, and that's the hallmark of the way we will engage.

NEXT-GENERATION PSYCHOLOGY SERVICES! Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is not just 'talk therapy' but based on scientific evidence. If you are looking for therapy that is structured and goal-directed, that provides tools to manage emotions and that focuses on the present, then CBT is for you. Here is how my beliefs and core values drive 'why I do' what I do for people. I believe that: 1) Everyone has the right, as well as the potential, to be happy and fulfilled in life and; 2) that when you become happier you help change the world one small step at a time.

Does the light at the end of the tunnel seem far? If you are suffering from relationship issues or unresolved issues - big or small - shame or feelings of not being good enough, you might benefit from working with me. In a caring and accepting atmosphere, I can walk with you through the journey of resolving relationship difficulties, reprocessing your issues and feelings, so they no longer interfere with your growth as a human being. My goal is to help you live the life you envision for yourself, to feel better connected to yourself and others, and confidently move forward with your future.

Seeking help takes courage. Looking for a caring therapist that will listen to you without judgment is the first step towards change. With your willingness to change we can work together and explore what is impeding your growth and help you make the changes necessary for you to live the life to which you aspire. My goal would be to help you feel better - whether that is with yourself, with your partner, at work or with your family.

I am a marital and family therapist with over 30 years experience working with individuals and couples helping them negotiate and solve problems related to marital conflict, separation, divorce, and with difficulties adjusting to mental health problems. I am a teacher and supervisor in the field, so I am familiar with a range of intervention skills to help my clients with a wide variety of difficulties. I use their strengths to foster better relationships. I lately have a special interest in Adult Attention Deficit Disorder; its assessment and understanding of the relationship issues it poses for the individual and family.

As a child psychologist my goal is to help children and families thrive at home and at school. I take a strengths-based approach to assessment and therapy. I specialize in providing comprehensive psycho-educational, developmental, and autism assessments that help children and adolescents gain access to vital resources to propel their self-confidence and academic success.

Are you having problems coping with stress, anxiety or depression? Are you troubled by a traumatic experience? Have you suffered a major disappointment or loss of a relationship? Are you worried about where your life is headed? Perhaps you've been telling yourself, "I should be able to figure things out on my own," but you don't know how or where to start. You've made a choice to get some help and emotional support.

In life, we all may face the emotional distress of strained relationships, challenging life transitions or personal struggles with anxiety, loss &/or unworthiness. And often, at those times, we are left feeling disoriented, distracted and depleted in our partnerships, our families, and ourselves. These circumstances may be more than we can handle on our own. With over 20 years of experience in this field, I welcome individuals, couples & families into my practice, who are seeking to calm their sadness, anger or fear; repair connection in their significant relationships; and explore the influence of their past on their present.

I am driven to help you to understand yourself, find your inner resources and make important changes in your life. Confidentiality, empathy, empowerment, emotional support and unconditional positive regard are very important for my clients. I will tailor my approach to match your unique situation to maximize the effectiveness of each session.

Loving and being attracted to each other unfortunately doesn't mean you reliably arouse one another. Many healthy, wonderful relationships in fact yearn for greater erotic connection and sexual fulfillment. By meeting with me, there is absolutely no need to be concerned about immediate commitment to ongoing treatment. For some concerns, even one meeting can be an important step. I respect your financial investment in this process and seek timely effectiveness. Trained at Columbia University, my work is non-judgmental and confidential. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

I tailor therapy plans and life coaching to each woman, taking into consideration family dynamics, work environment, social, romantic, cultural, stage of life, and reproductive-related events.

As an experienced full time psychologist in practice for more than 20 years, my focus is on helping people deal with problems in personal and professional relationships, work related burnout or the many and varied life situations that face people from time to time causing depression, anxiety or emotional discomfort.
