Therapists in Montréal, QC

Using an integrative approach, I specialize in short and long-term counselling for adults and teens with depression and anxiety issues, as well as personality disorders such as BPD. Essentially, my job is to create a safe space where you can feel free to be you so that we can together understand, appreciate and work through any self-destructive behaviours or experiences that you feel are holding you back.

Working from Psychodynamic perspective I provide adults and adolescents with a safe and supportive environment in which we address and make sense of real-life experiences that may be contributing to depression, anxiety, addictions, problems with self-esteem and relationships difficulties.

I am a fully bilingual clinical psychologist/psychotherapist with 28 years of rich and varied clinical experience within medical settings and mental health services in the UK and France. I provide a wide range of psychological interventions always tailored to a patient's needs. I help patients get their life back on track as I care deeply about their psychological and physical wellbeing. Having a highly sensitive temperament myself, I offer help to those who have identified themselves as highly sensitive and as a result, face issues that are difficult to deal with. My approach, while primarily psychodynamic, includes EMDR, cognitive strategies, schema therapy, mindfulness.

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.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 18 years of experience. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and A.D.H.D. I use a caring, non-judgmental approach to help my clients feel and understand the meaning of their emotions and behavior. I offer clients an opportunity to explore their inner world, understand their difficulties clearly, deepen self-awareness and to make sense of their experiences. I work together with my clients to remove barriers to growth and help them achieve their potential and have deeper more meaningful connections with others as well as with themselves.

I am a licensed psychologist in private practice, a member of the Order of Psychologists of Quebec, and an associate of the Argyle Institute of Human Relations. I have been providing individual counselling to adolescents and adults for over twenty years. In a caring and supportive environment, I help individuals build on their strengths and explore positive pathways to change. I employ a psychodynamic approach, while integrating cognitive stratagles in order to help deal with personal difficulties.

I use a client centered, strength-based approach to foster a supportive, non-judgemental environment where my clients can begin to experience themselves as creative, empowered and open. With a collaborative spirit of empathy and curiosity we will explore the client's strengths, challenges, unique abilities and potential for growth. Combining talk therapy with elements of mindfulness and artistic expression, I aim to create a warm, non-threatening environment in which children, adolescents and adults can explore and communicate their thoughts and feelings.

The poem, The Imaginary Career (by Rainer Maria Rilke), illustrates exquisitely our human condition. To quote: "At first a childhood, limitless and free" only to become "Defiance- The child bent becomes the bender". To live in that ".. vast, cold empty space, alone" is a very painful place to find oneself. I am here to join with that person in the "empty space" so that they can understand themselves and heal.

For the last 22 years I have shared my time as a psychotherapist and art therapist between the Division of Adolescent Medicine at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and private practice at the Queen Elizabeth Health Centre. In addition, since 2005 I have taught in Concordia University's Masters in Art Therapy. I offer a therapeutic place for adults, children and teenagers to work individually. I work with a focus on both current maladaptive patterns, origins of current emotions, behaviours and thoughts, and a strong emphasis on one's sense of self, while always finding the strengths and resilience that is in each person.

If you have noticed a shift in your mood, require help managing stress, are experiencing problems in your relationship(s) or have been feeling uncertain and in need of some clarity, psychotherapy could be the answer.

I am a psychologist registered with the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec specializing in research-supported treatment approaches, chiefly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I help clients tune their coping skills to overcome new, and sometimes old, challenges as well as to adjust to limitations. I have significant experience addressing: depression, social anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessions and compulsions (OCD), insomnia, trauma, anger management, stress management, life transitions, and family relationships. I make therapy active, including running sessions outside the office for exposure when needed. I prefer to keep therapy time limited to improve accountability and maximize results for efforts.

For 20 years I have worked with adolescents, adults and couples facing difficult life stressors including relationship difficulties, separation, divorce, trauma, substance abuse, grief issues. I work with clients in an empathic way which fosters self-awareness and positive change. I integrate resilience principles and insight oriented/interpersonal strategies with cognitive-behavioral therapy, to promote coping skills and build self esteem. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and grief.

My passion is human cognition. My work is Neuropsychological Diagnosis and Interventions. I use neuropsychological testing to understand how my clients' use their memory, their attention, their intellect, etc. In other words, I try to understand how you process information in order to help you better understand yourself. We can also develop strategies to optimize or compensate. My work is based on research and I keep up to date with new interventions. The length of our work may vary, depending on our goals.

Are you are going through a rough time or wanting to find a space to connect to yourself? Know that you are not alone. Experiences such as change, trauma and loss may leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or confused. These are all normal responses when faced with adversity. In art therapy, we can give space and time to explore what these emotions mean to you and invite your inner world to dialogue with us. You do not need to have any skill or prior experience in art to benefit from art therapy.

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.
