Therapists in Côte-des-Neiges, Montréal, QC

My clinical work spans 30+ years as a private practitioner in the Greater Montreal Region. For 29 years I served as a Psychologist and Department Head at Summit School for the Developmentally Disabled. Additionally, I have worked as a research consultant and lead therapist at The Montreal Children's Hospital Department of Psychiatry (MCH). My work on the team at MCH predominantly focused on identifying effective multimodal treatments for children and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Presently, I work with youth, and adults in my private practice at the Applied Learning Center in Montreal.

Relief from anxiety is very much within your grasp! Anxiety is a terrible and hopeless feeling.

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.

I believe that warmth, positive regard, and acceptance are important to find the insights and tools for an important change in our lives. It is important for me to build a therapeutic relationship with genuineness and work together to enhance self-awareness and self-compassion. I prioritize allowing each person the agency to adapt techniques to their individual experiences or needs. I have a strong interest in individuals and the impact of society, culture on the development of personality. My passion for mental health, advocacy, and counselling has guided my practice and work through trauma to find strength and resilience.

The familiar saying based on an ancient Chinese proverb "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" is one which, to my mind invites us to reflect on our past and on our future. Perhaps your particular life's journey is not yet taking you in a fulfilling or rewarding direction. A painful family past, issues of loss, relationship conflicts, struggles with your teen, are just some types of setbacks which may leave you feeling anxious, sad, exhausted, hopeless or helpless. Today is a new day. The one in which you take that first important step toward transforming your life journey into one of meaningful growth and change.
