Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Saint-Laurent, QC

Parents, adolescents and young adults seeking guidance and assistance in developing coping strategies, improving their emotional well-being, and finding a sense of purpose. You may be struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Trust and collaboration are vital as we work towards and explore strategies for positive change.

I am a licensed Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in counselling, coaching, career management, educational consulting and psychotherapy. My solution-focused approach is to empower & motivate you to take charge of your life and assist you in developing the required skills to cope with life’s challenges and overcome your current difficulties. I provide a warm, non-judgemental and safe space to allow you to uncover your positive path to mental health and wellness.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Concordia University. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University and a Psychologist in the Centre for CBT Research, Training, and Intervention of the McGill University Health Centre. I help adults who are struggling with anxiety disorders (e.g., panic attacks, social anxiety, worry, phobias, health anxiety), obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, perfectionism, insomnia, hoarding, repetitive behaviours (e.g., tics, hair-pulling, skin-picking), stress, and relationship/self-esteem issues.

If you are feeling anxious, stressed out, or overwhelmed by sadness or anger, getting support often helps! Improve your relationships and reduce your suffering. I offer empathetic and supportive listening, practical techniques to help regulate your emotions, improve conflicts with the people in your life, and will accompany you in making sense of what you're going through.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you need some support? Perhaps therapy can help you cope with current stressors in your life. I can help you in managing a difficult situation, and to help you find strategies to manage distress, confusion, anxiety, and feelings of depression. It strives to improve overall well-being and mental health, to resolve or manage concerning behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, or emotions, and to improve relationships, interactions and social skills. Couple and family therapy can address the dynamics and challenges faced with the goal of understanding and positive change. I am offering secure online sessions.

I work with individuals and couples who seek to improve their mental health and relationships. I work with individuals, who experienced trauma, struggling with anxiety, and/ or seeking meaning to life events. My unique life experience exposed me to different cultures and ways of living, which included the Middle East, Europe, and North America. I believe that relationships, mental health, and behaviors are better understood when body, mind, and context are examined simultaneously. I work with my clients to navigate through their experiences, including their spirituality, to create helpful meanings in their lives.

I provide a woman- centered approach to mental health, as a licensed psychologist and life coach, that is personalized to fit the needs and personality of each individual woman. Women's mental health may be affected by reproductive- related events (e.g., the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause). As such, the possible impact of biological factors need to be understood and incorporated in a holistic approach, that includes psychological, social, and cultural factors, for each woman to receive optimal treatment. Within this context I provide diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy, and consultation for a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment concerns.

We, as human beings, all face difficult times during our lives. These phases can leave us feeling out of control and isolated. The simple act of choosing change in your life can help you to feel empowered and on a path to a greater sense of well-being. As an integrative therapist (using cognitive behavioral, supportive, interpersonal and existential techniques), I will first help you to define your goals and then support you as you work towards achieving them. Using those techniques that best suit your particular needs and styles, we will effectively create a New Therapy tailored specifically for you.

Disconnection, frustration, feeling stuck, and losing hope can all lead to seeking support for relief. Through careful exploration and connective discussion, we can resolve the issues getting in the way with compassion, commitment, and expansion. Learn how to understand and put words to needs, painful events, and traumatic experiences. Make helpful sense of your situation through the emotions, behaviours, thoughts, and beliefs that accompany it, and learn how to respond in meaningful and fulfilling ways to overcome whatever barriers.

My approach is simple, I will meet you wherever you are in your challenges and will accompany you gently towards re-assuming your best self in recovery. Through authentic connection, honesty, caring, and collaboration, we will identify and embark on the tailored treatments that will result in your re- integration into fulfilling and meaningful living.

Feeling overwhelmed, and struggling to be present in your own life? I'm here to support you in managing these challenges and cultivate a compassionate, mindful, and self-caring way of living. With a background in psychology and social work, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the complexities of relationships, difficult experiences, life transitions, and self-discovery while creating a compassionate and understanding space for self-care and self-reflection.

Hi and welcome. We are a group of Trauma Therapists who have devoted our practice to working holistically with those who wish to free themselves from the grips of past pain and return to states of safety, peace and connection.

Parenting is a rollercoaster, but adding a neurodevelopmental or medical condition to the mix makes it that much more challenging. I aim to treat emotional and behavioural issues, but also to help parents feel more confident about their parenting and feel more emotionally connected to their children despite the challenges.

After many years as an educator and a professional musician, I returned to university and completed an MA in Counselling Psychology. My experience in neurofeedback, which began in 2007, led me to want to pursue studies in counselling in order to offer a more complete therapeutic experience for my clients. I currently work in a dual diagnosis mental health and rehab centre, but my private clients consult primarily for anxiety, ADHD, sleep and trauma related motivational problems. The combination of counselling with neurofeedback, hypnosis, and EMDR-based bilateral stimulation therapies is very helpful.

It is said that tough times don't last, but tough  people do. In the journey of life, good times empower you with confidence while challenging times build your resilience. Christina has the ability to empathize and connect quickly with her clients offering support, hope and realistic solutions. The primary goal is to bring compassion, acceptance, and a sense of self as she offers a guiding hand to clients in their journey of personal discovery and growth.
