Therapists in Côte Saint-Luc, QC

Do you want to gain insight about yourself and your relationships? Are you looking for strategies to manage painful emotions, stress, or anxiety? I view counselling as a shared journey in which I bring my compassion, professional knowledge and understanding along to assist you in your own path of self discovery, growth and healing. Counselling can be used as a tool to learn more about yourself, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and gain more agency in your life. As humans, our identity is often layered and complex, and I seek to empower your most authentic self.

Hello, my name is Shira (she/her) and I want to navigate life's challenges with you. I am a clinical Social Worker and Child Behaviour Consultant. My goal is to create an empathetic, empowering, and non-judgmental environment for all my clients in order for them to feel safe, heard and understood. My main focus has been supporting my clients with issues such as, but not limited to, anxiety, social skill building, navigating friendships, emotion regulation, low self-esteem and exploring life changes.

Let me help you take control of your journey. Let's knock down barriers and create bridges to help you make the transformation necessary to your well being. Symptoms of addiction, anxiety, chronic pain, phobias, traumas, auto-immune illness, etc can be managed with counseling, hypnosis and ultimately, the power of your own subconscious! Let's begin the process of empowering you to become the architect of your unique pathway to wellness.

I have more than 20 years of experience in working with adult and geriatric patients in individual therapy. I feel comfortable working with a variety of issues, ranging from anxiety and depressive disorders to relational difficulties and trauma. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) perspective, working together with you as a partner, using a relatively structured and directive approach. I use CBT techniques, such as stress management, cognitive restructuring, thought stopping and mindfulness training. I recognize that it can be difficult to open yourself up to therapy, and will be there to support and guide you.

People seek out therapy for different reasons. Some are going through something they need help with, and some want to improve their lives, understand themselves better or work on their relationships.

Sometimes when we are distressed, we can lose sight of the things that are most important to us. When we are feeling unwell our energy often becomes focused on managing negative feelings and living a satisfying life can become difficult. Do you often feel anxious, sad, hopeless, or overwhelmed? Perhaps you are feeling stuck or just unsatisfied with your life right now. I can help you understand the processes that have contributed to and maintain your suffering, and support you in reconnecting with your values to live a more satisfying life.

We offer same-day or next-day appointments. Our services cater to adults, parents, teenagers, children, couples, and families, emphasizing empowerment, emotional support, collaboration, and a non-judgmental approach. We specialize in assisting individuals who have experienced acute trauma, such as sexual violence and victims of crime, as well as those dealing with complex PTSD. Our practice is LGBTQ+-inclusive and friendly to individuals with diverse sexual orientations, kinks, non-monogamous, and polyamorous lifestyles. We offer flexible appointment scheduling, allowing you to choose between male and female clinicians.

Becoming a parent, and being flexible and resilient in how you parent your developing child, is one of life's greatest challenges. We are often unprepared, overwhelmed, and not well supported. Working with families with children of all ages, I specialize in helping strengthen the parent-child relationship. I provide tools to foster resilience and wellbeing, whether it be during periods of transition (e.g., prenatal/postpartum periods, transition to school, separation/divorce), or during regular day-to-day parenting. By helping you work through your struggles that arise with your children, you can raise happy, confident children.

My work with individuals is to get to the bottom of the problem and find solutions. I draw on principles of Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) to explore how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact and affect your ability to cope with challenging situations.

I am a psychotherapist and a licensed couple and family therapist. I was the winner of the award for clinical excellence for couple and family therapy from McGill University 2019. I received a Master's in psychology in 2009. My main area of focus is trauma and how it impacts adult individuals and couples. I understand that right now you may feel that as though you have too much on your plate and that you are struggling to balance all of life's demands. I believe that many people do not take the time to focus on themselves and invest in their emotional well- being.

It’s healthy to prioritize yourself. If you’re contemplating the need for positive change, I can provide a collaborative, safe and confidential environment to help address your concerns. Together, we will identify areas in need of change and formulate an action plan to obtain the results you want. I will offer guidance, perspective, support, and strategies to help you meet your goals. I am also taking English and Spanish speaking clients.

Seeking support is often a challenging endeavour. For many, it can be scary to speak about their struggles and reflect on past experiences that have impacted them today. I strive to create a therapeutic alliance that allows for feelings of safety and openness, so that you feel able to share your story. I offer virtual counselling sessions, providing a convenient and accessible way to support you on your journey to emotional well-being.
