Therapists Beginning With O in Quebec

You may not show it, but you feel stuck. Your anxiety and fears prevent you from taking steps forward. Instead, you find yourself procrastinating and avoiding. You are consumed by doubt and overwhelmed by worry and unwanted, intrusive, uncontrollable thoughts. You try hard to avoid those thoughts, but they keep coming back. The more you fight them, the stickier they become. You try to tell yourself that the thoughts are meaningless, but somehow you feel you can never be sure. What if after all, something horrible will happen? What if the thoughts mean something important? Your friends and family keep telling you not to worry and explain that everything is just in your head. This reassurance helps for a bit, but very soon you are back to endless "What if? " questions. You tried therapy before. The therapist tried to convince you that what you fear is unlikely to happen and taught you relaxation, breathing, meditation, and thought records. But it didn't help and made you even more hopeless. You'd like to break free from your worries and fears and start living your life. If you are reading this profile, you may be finally considering making a significant change. We are here to help!

I believe in the human being and his or her capacity to re-build. I find that there is nothing more important than a willingness to develop compassion for oneself and one's situation. For me, the therapy is a place to reconnect with emotions, and begin a very important journey within the supportive therapeutic relationship.

I'm a clinical psychologist who works in French and English with adults who struggle with a variety of difficulties. I have a particular expertise in anxiety (including generalized anxiety, social anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder) and mood disorders such as depression. I am also especially interested in helping clients with issues of perfectionism, self-esteem, emotion regulation, and relational problems.

I am an art therapist with post-graduate training in sandplay therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy. My academic training includes a master in Art Therapy from Concordia University and a master in Fine Arts from Europe. Offering individual and group art therapy sessions for children and adults of all ages, I combine a person-centred orientation with extensive clinical skills in accompanying my clients when dealing with traumatic events, depression, anxiety, dysfunctional patterns, life transitions, work-related stress, and relationship difficulties.

Everyone at some point in their lives will experience events that lead to troubling thoughts, feelings and even pain. Whether it’s having relationship problems, going through large life changes, a stressful work environment or not letting your past go, it may simply be too much to make sense of it all. Know that you’re not alone and that the first step in helping yourself is recognizing your problems and seeking help. If you are at that point, I can help you. I offer you a safe space where you can share, explore and revisit difficult moments in your life so that you can finally tackle your problems head on.

I offer virtual counselling sessions for those who are seeking relief, insight, emotional support, and effective coping strategies. My focus lies primarily in working with individuals struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also welcome clients experiencing challenges with relationship, career burnout or questioning, self-doubt, life transitions, and people-pleasing tendencies. I firmly believe in the inner wisdom of each person and as such our work together will center on connecting you with your resilience, strengths, and ability to make choices that bring you closer to a more meaningful life.

I am a social worker and a registered psychotherapist who has supported individuals and families in crisis, dealing with end of life issues, grief and bereavement, including from traumatic loss, as well as with those who struggle from the impact of mental health issues, terminal illness and loss of autonomy. From a holistic perspective and using a humanistic approach, I aim to engage your strengths and motivation to enable change and uncover resilience.

Although we all inhabit Earth, it often feels like each of us exists on our own planet. I would be honored to have the opportunity to explore yours. I've created a space where you can talk about your life, figure out what you want to change, and understand why you feel the way you do. In my practice, I integrate cultural understanding, strength-based strategies, art, and solution-focused tools to create a tailored approach for exploring and shifting deep-rooted emotions and unhelpful thoughts. My work is informed by attachment theories, and I place a strong emphasis on personal growth and understanding you as a whole person.
