The best way to reach me is via email, either through this site or at deborah.schwartzman@mail.mcgill.ca. Sadness and anxiety are natural parts of life, but for some, these feelings can escalate into overwhelming thoughts, persistent tension, and profound unhappiness that disrupts daily life. I'll work collaboratively with you to identify the underlying causes of these emotions and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to help you regain control and improve your quality of life.

Does it feel risky to have certain emotions, especially towards people you care about? Does frustration often lead to tears, self-criticism, or self-doubt? When triggered by someone in your life, do you experience anxiety? Do conflicts in relationships result in headaches, stomach issues, tension, or other forms of bodily distress? Or cause you to feel down or depressed? If any of these questions resonate with you, you're not alone. Over decades of practice, I've seen time and again that clients come to psychotherapy having suffered enough and possessing incredible potential for change. Change is possible, and therapy can help.

I am queer, neurodivergent, and a parent. I have 14 years of clinical experience in psychiatry, addictions, psychological trauma and community work. My first language is English. I work to help people integrate their thoughts, emotions, somatic experiences and stories of empowerment so they can make sense of the world during these difficult times. I have worked with issues such as Depression, Stress Management, CPTSD, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Gender Dysphoria, Eating Disorders, Addictions, BPD and PTSD. I believe people are more than their diagnosis. Psychiatry must be deconstructed for us to find our true potential.

I have a deep conviction in the value of this profession and in what unfolds through the therapeutic process. The most important aspect is the meaningful relationship that will develop between us. It will facilitate in the understanding of older relational patterns and will serve as a guide towards more meaningful and secure relationships.You will also have a safe space to explore and gain insight into past experiences that could be too painful and confusing to bring to awareness without a supportive therapeutic presence. Furthermore by working these through it will broaden the range of effective coping strategies used in the present.

Accepting new clients! I help teenagers and adults manage anxiety stemming from life transitions, work-life balance, and trauma. Anxiety and past experiences should not define one's value or future, and we can make active changes to overcome these challenges. Many complain about how exhausting anxiety can be - but we don't have to resign to living like this forever. The way I see it, the goal of therapy is to both get to know yourself and your anxiety, but also to take back control to minimize its impact on relationships and academic or professional development.

I welcome older children (aged 11+), youth, and adults to my practice. Through discussion or creative process, we carve out a space to hear from your voice of awareness, and from there, identify your needs and goals. From stuck habits to difficult relationship dynamics, we can identify parts of your life that both are and are not serving you; so as to strengthen the parts of you that nurture the more positive aspects, while working to better understand and manage the aspects that may be holding you back.

With a focus on the therapeutic relationship, I create a collaborative space to explore the experience of being human. My practice is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ celebrating, antiracist, feminist-oriented, and body-positive. My approach integrates IFS, ACT, and existential underpinnings with experiential modalities. With a background in adventure-based and outdoor therapies, I value movement and somatics in the therapeutic process. This may include sensorial techniques, making art, playing games, or immersing in nature during therapy, as suits you and your goals. I see adults and adolescents for individual therapy.

If you're searching for a psychologist who combines the latest in evidence-based treatments with a deeply caring and supportive approach, I'm here to help. I have worked in various community and hospital settings, specializing in the treatment of depression (including self-esteem, perfectionism), trauma, substance misuse, and emotion dysregulation (including emotional avoidance, borderline personality). I believe that one size does not fit all, which is why I integrate evidence-based treatments, such as DBT and CBT, with new research and therapeutic approaches to meet the unique goals and needs of each individual.

In my 18 years of working as a psychologist I have met with all types of people facing a myriad of challenges. What I have learned over the years is every one of us is doing our very best to get through life. Sometimes, we need help learning new ways to be our best selves. My goal in therapy is guiding people not just to survive, but to thrive. I will meet you where you are, and build from there. I like to teach skills that can be used long after therapy has ended. I focus not only on healing trauma and reducing symptoms, but I also help others find meaning and fulfillment in order to enjoy life again.
