Therapists in Montréal, QC

People seek help for specific reasons such as eating disorders, psycho-somatic conditions, obsessional behaviour, or phobic anxieties. At other times help is sought because of more general underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships. We believe in a mind-body connection so that improvements in psychological well-being translate into physical vitality. The benefits of our psychotherapy and counselling work include self-insight, inner fulfillment, raised self-esteem, a positive outlook and improved relationships.

Hi, I'm Coach Maddy, the Montreal ADHD Coach who has ADHD. I have been working with kid,teens, students, adults, couples, groups, parents and their families for almost two decades. I know what it's like growing up with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as well as being an ADHD Adult. I have very specific ADHD Coach training from the ADD Coach Academy in New York. My approach is action oriented and based on ensuring that you acquire the needed skills as well as uncovering who you want to become for you to live in your strengths and passion.

Are you someone who works well in a collaborative and consultative relationship? Are you able to define how you would like to be more effective in your personal and professional relationships and what is holding you back? Do you appreciate feedback and input to develop strategies you can apply and take a more active role in taking some risks and making changes in your life so you can see change? Then I think we would work well together. I am a clinical and organizational psychology who provides coaching and therapy to students, professionals and leaders who want to improve their personal lives, careers and their teams.

As an emotional coach, one of my major missions is to show clients, through embodied experience, how to process emotions and relate to inner experience in ways that better identify and meet their emotional needs individually and with others. The outcome of this is relief, peace, grounding, and inner trust. This is a safe space - I support LGBTQA+, ethical nonmonogamy, sex positivity, and spiritual, religious, as well as secular frameworks.

For 20 years I have worked with adults 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 and grief.

Opening up to a trusted witness uncovers how you've been derailed from fully actualizing your true self. By naming your injuries and losses healing is encouraged and reclaiming what you were robbed of becomes possible. This collaboration reveals how abuse and neglect may have cheated you out of developing untapped potentials and brought about instability and patterns of victimization. Through a safe therapeutic process the parts of the self that were abandoned for the sake of survival can be restored, so that cohesion and fulfillment can result. With steadfast commitment and consistent effort a life of thriving can occur.

When faced with life's inevitable challenges, we all need tools that allow us to not only cope, but thrive. With over a decade of experience, and expertise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we are dedicated to helping clients lead healthier, more inspired lives. We will work with you to alleviate distress caused by personal, social, or workplace issues. We also offer individualized support to those impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in the areas of relationships and employment. Within a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment, we will help you unleash your own inner strengths so that healing can begin.

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.

There are increasing psychological problems which do not meet traditional psychiatric disorders but concern developmental 'family-of-origin' dynamics, impacting adult functioning-regarding work, intimacy and creativity. Furthermore, although external factors are often rather 'real' and painful- self justification, rationalization and avoidance/denial often defeat heartfelt goals, dreams, desires and unique potential regarding school/work, intimacy, creativity and future possibilities.

Is your teen or tween struggling? Feeling anxious about COVID-19, friendships or how to fit in? Maybe your child is withdraw or acting out? Our art therapist, Maryam Gerami, gives kids a voice through art, when words alone are not enough. Art therapy is particularly well-suited to young people as it is a non-threatening way to communicate and work through difficult issues. Maryam also has 15 years' experience as a mental health counsellor, working with kids, teens, adults and families on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues and autism spectrum disorder.

I have over 20 years experience, and extensive training specializing in therapy with couples and individuals whose relationships have become places of fear, insecurity, and loneliness, where bonds of emotional safety, trust and intimacy have gradually eroded. I offer distressed couples a short-term, emotionally focused approach (EFT) that's scientifically proven and highly successful in creating greater closeness, a way back to the heart of your relationship. When the connection that you'd hoped to depend on forever seems lost, replaced by distance and confusion, I can help you rekindle intimacy and compassion, a secure bond you can depend on even in hard times.
