Elders (65+) 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.

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.

Je parle anglais et français- Vous vous sentez peut-être coincé(e)? Face à des situations qui vous semblent difficiles à régler? Certains se sentent désorganisés, ou seuls. Je suis disponible pour travailler avec toute une personne qui, simplement, est motivée à atteindre ses buts. I will gladly help, support and carefully listen to anyone who is willing to take this first step and start counselling. Whether you are going through difficult life situations, mental health challenges, or deep life existential questioning, as long as you are willing to explore these from an open mindset, we can work together.

Bilingual Clinic - Bonjour, je suis Annick, thérapeute en santé mentale, membre de l'Association canadienne de counseling et de psychothérapie (ACCP) et membre de du Regroupement des intervenants et thérapeutes en médecine alternative et complémentaire (RITMA). Mes études au baccalauréat et à la maîtrise en psychoéducation me permettront de vous accompagner et vous aider surmonter les moments les plus difficiles de votre vie. Mon but premier est de vous aider à affronter les défis de tous les jours et trouver des nouvelles voies et des stratégies d’adaptation saines à intégrer dans votre quotidien.

En quête de sens et de mieux être...ce sera un plaisir de faire votre connaissance et un privilège de vous accompagner dans votre cheminement! Que vous cherchiez à vous connaitre davantage, à améliorer la qualité de vos relations, à passer du mal-être au mieux être. Je travaille depuis plus de 25 ans dans le domaine de la santé mentale. Vous avez besoin d'aide à gérer vos émotions, l'anxiété, des symptômes de dépression, problèmes de dépendances, épuisement professionnel, problèmes relationnels, difficultés d'adaptation, période de transition...je suis une alliée d'expérience qui est sincèrement engagée dans votre cheminement.

Je suis une clinicienne polyvalente ayant plus de 30 ans d’expérience. J’œuvre auprès de la clientèle adolescente, adulte et aînée. Je m’intéresse particulièrement aux troubles anxieux, aux transitions difficiles, aux deuils, à la dépression, aux difficultés d’adaptation, à la dysphorie de genre et au stress post-traumatique. J'ai trois sphères d'expertise. (1) Je détient une formation spécialisée en gérontologie. Je comprends donc les défis uniques liés au vieillissement, tels que les pertes et deuils, transitions (p. ex., retraite), problèmes de santé chroniques, nouveaux rôles sociaux et familiaux, et solitude.

I am a bilingual clinical social worker and counselor offering phone-based counseling services for guidance & support for those difficult times of life. Over 15 years experience as a clinical social worker. Wide set of experiences ranging from helping individuals with life's transition; grief and adjustment; depression and anxiety; gender-based related issues; addictions; return to work planning. Also extensive experience in assisting the elderly population in regards to issues that relate to their journey and the ones of their families. I will mediate with their families as requested.

Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed and depressed, hating your job and fighting with a partner or a family that refuses to adopt your views? Do you struggle to be the person you want to be? I offer confidential counselling and I believe in a client-centred approach. I am specialized in the field of memory studies, being interested in how identity is shaped, what are the paths of mental care and how to come to terms with anger, grief and depression. I also welcome immigrants of all nationalities dealing with acculturation, including family crisis, social anxiety and job related stress.

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.

Are you struggling to navigate a world that doesn't seem made for you? Feeling overwhelmed with everyday life requirements? With the right mix of support, education and insight, each person's unique challenges can be overcome.

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.

Whether you are searching for extra support and guidance through an overwhelming situation, or you feel ready to tackle unresolved issues from the past, I'd be honoured to walk that journey with you and help you eliminate the issues that you are struggling with. My goal is to accompany you on a journey towards balance, growth, strength and consolidation, where you can share your thoughts and feelings in a comfortable and non-judgmental environment.
