Adults Therapists in Gatineau, QC

In French and Spanish I provide consultation and psychotherapy to adults and seniors experiencing a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem issues, relationship problems, life transitions, vital crises, and workplace issues.

I am a psychologist registered with the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ). I help adults and couples facing psychological and emotional difficulties in various areas. I have been trained in emotion focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), as well as integrative therapy. I am familiar with psychodynamic therapy and the one-at-a-time (OAAT) session approach. I use them interchangeably according to your needs. I acknowledge that seeking professional help is not always easy and I want you to know that it is very brave of you. I welcome people of all communities and backgrounds and look forward to meeting you!

I offer individual therapy to adults and bring a diverse, multicultural life experience to my therapeutic perspective. I will provide a safe environment from which you can explore yourself, your challenges and your resources in order that you may gain insight and awareness into your unique human experience.

Hi, I'm Kim. I have worked with people across the age span, individually and in families, for the past few decades. I am currently working with people who are interested in finding ways to better cope with strong emotions, complex trauma, mood disorders and building stronger connections in their relationships. I have a long history of working with children, teenagers and young adults in particular and am often described as conversational, humorous and creative in my approach. I believe in being transparent, flexible, nonjudgmental and creating safe spaces where people feel heard and connected.

I provide bilingual (French/English) psychological services to adults and older adults who are experiencing a variety of challenges including: sleep disorders, chronic insomnia, anxiety, depression, traumatic stress-related issues & PTSD, grief & significant losses, life transitions as well as adjusting to living with major life changes (including injury and illness). I also have a particular interest in working with individuals who are experiencing difficulty adjusting to living with a chronic health condition, including cardiac illness, chronic pain, inflammatory bowel disease, and men’s health issues.

I work with individual adults who are facing a variety of life challenges.I believe that hidden in our problems lie the seeds of a solution as well as some bit of undeveloped personality with potential for personal transformation. Knowing that in times of distress it's good to talk things over with someone, I listen carefully and work collaboratively with my clients. Images from the unconscious, as seen in dreams and drawings, can help us uncover a problem and develop a solution. Dreams are material from the unconscious and bring us into contact with a deeper part of ourselves.

Over 32 years as a professor, supervisor, researcher, and psychologist, I have come to believe in the power of a caring and reliable therapeutic relationship as a starting point for change. I help people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, infidelity, divorce, adult repercussions of childhood trauma, life transitions, adjustment difficulties, grief and loss, struggles with self-esteem, loneliness and isolation. I also partner with people who want to explore avenues to make their lives more meaningful reflective of who they truly are. Francophones bienvenues! Now working online.

We work with adults to improve the quality of their lives. Our clinic's approach is grounded in authenticity and collaboration, and we are adaptive in our integration of evidence-based modalities into your therapy. Our goal is to help you achieve further understanding and insight, and ultimately transform this into meaningful and lasting change. To do so, we use an informed biopsychosocial lens to consider how your identity and context may be affecting your experience and worldview. We enjoy working with (and learning from) clients from all walks of life; no matter what, you are welcome, valued, and appreciated here.

Maude Éloïse is a bilingual Registered Psychotherapist who did, prior her bachelors and masters degrees, a lot of community work centred around vulnerable children and adults . After many years of experience, she would like to help to the Ottawa (Central and West End) community to maintain their health with a scientific, professional and integrative approach that focuses on her clients needs and goals.

When you’ve had a falling out with a parent, a child, a partner, or a friend, or are grappling with a past struggle or loss, it can feel overwhelming - like you’re tumbling into a deep hole, with limited to no way out. But you’re not alone. I’ve accompanied many teens, adults and parents on their journey toward well- being, peace, and ease. I’d be honoured to walk alongside, and help you on your journey to feeling healthy and whole. Proficiency in trauma and body-based mindfulness means that I’ll aim to assist with an array of evidence-based cognitive, somatic and experiential tools that have helped many people on similar journeys.

As a queer non-binary psychologist, I combine my professional and personal experience in my work with clients. I work primarily with 2SLGBTQ+ adults experiencing difficulties in finding their authentic selves, prioritizing their needs and setting boundaries. For 2SLGBTQ+ folks, living in a world that marginalizes part(s) of your identity can feel like you are not allowed to be your true self, that your needs are “not ok.” It is quite common to cope with this reality by exercising various forms of “code switching” to “fit in” or avoid negative outcomes. This can lead to feeling disconnected from our authentic self or feeling "lost."

Welcome! You are likely visiting my page because you are currently experiencing difficulties in your life or because you want to improve your current situation. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out or depressed and you are feeling like your emotions are taking over your life, you are at the right place. I can help you navigate difficult situations in your personal life. Often times therapy or coaching can offer a rich and transformative opportunity to deepen your self-knowledge and acceptance of who you are.

It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge our personal difficulties and ask for help in facing and overcoming problems. At Helix Psychological Services, we are a team of experienced psychologists who focus on building a warm and positive therapeutic relationship with our clients. It is important to us that our clients feel comfortable and safe exploring distressing thoughts, emotions and behaviours that may be preventing them from moving forward. Our approach is collaborative and individually tailored to help our clients meet their unique needs and goals.

Do you feel like you are: Afraid of the uncertainty of the future due to a life transition (e.g. adulthood, mid-life, retirement)? Feeling lost or confused about who you are now? / Struggling in your job, relationships, and other facets of your life due to past trauma? / On an emotional rollercoaster or numb from grief, perhaps feeling unable to talk to anyone about what you are living through or perhaps feeling that your grief is being invalidated by others? / Unable to accomplish what you would like because anxiety is in the driver’s seat? / Less emotionally tolerant than before, but don’t quite know why? I get it.
