Therapists in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Montréal, QC

In my ideal client, I envision someone who is seeking a safe and supportive space to explore their emotions, express themselves, and find healing through art therapy. They may be facing a wide range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal and/or self-esteem challenges. They desire a therapist who can create a non-judgmental environment where they can freely explore their thoughts and feelings through various art mediums. The goals of my ideal client are multifaceted. They want to understand themselves better, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and enhance their overall emotional well-being.

clinique entourfamille(TM) is a multi-disciplinary private clinic that supports children and their families by providing guidance and solutions for developmental, social and academic growth. With a focus on the overall well-being of children and adolescents, our team of caring and highly qualified professionals addresses communication, behavioral, social, motor, psychological, sensory processing and academic skills.

I am currently accepting new clients. I am a bilingual licensed psychologist who specializes in treating adolescents and young adults (<35 y/o) who are struggling with a range of issues including anxiety and depression. I completed my graduate education at McGill University and UQAM, and my clinical training in both school and hospital settings.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 30 years, and have expertise in treating individuals experiencing a wide range of difficulties. These include relationship issues, women's issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, emotional abuse, childhood trauma and grief. My approach, while primarily psychodynamic, includes cognitive strategies, mindfulness and active, creative strategies.

There is nothing that motivates me more than seeking to understand a human being and mirroring back that image. I can help you reconsider key past events and current challenges interfering with your personal growth. I work well with clients who are eager for change and seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. As a therapist, I believe we are here to become more and more of ourselves. I exhibit a creative and open-minded approach focused on facilitating your engagement towards healing. The different types of concerns I specialize in helping people address include: trauma, life transitions, relationships, anxiety and depression.

I work with teens and adults suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, and the impact of recent or childhood trauma. If you want help to address personal or relational difficulties, I provide a warm and collaborative environment in which your unique values and strengths will be honoured as we attend to the areas in which you struggle. Together, we will gain a deeper understanding of where you are at and of the factors holding you back from the changes you desire. My approach is relational, evidence-based and trauma-informed, and will be tailored to meet your particular needs and goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, working with adults and teens (16+) providing individual therapy. My areas of expertise include treatments for depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, personality disorders, and stress management.

Often at times words fail us, when we try to express difficult feelings or experiences. Art and play therapy provides alternative forms of communicating that offers rich insight into ourselves. Through these creative forms of expression we will bolster your strengths and explore your challenges. My belief is that play and creativity is within all of us, and has the ability to help us grow and heal!

Welcome! I am so glad that you found my page. I offer a warm, judgement-free place where you can bring your whole self and be accepted just as you are. I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they learned, and that many of the things we learned to survive may not be serving us anymore. Together we can explore these ways of coping and discover new ways of being with oneself and others that align with your personal values and goals. I will be open about what we are doing and why, and you will be in control of the process.

Life is challenging and sometimes we need help holding space for tough situations, transitions and new ways to learn more about ourselves so we can live an authentic life . You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy! Anyone who wants to explore their feelings through art creation can benefit.

avenuepsy.com / Email only please! - Suffering, feeling low, lost, anxious or overwhelmed? Breathe, we've got this. Hi, my name is Celestine. I am a bilingual, registered psychologist and I split my time between my private practice and my work in a federal penitentiary. My practice focuses on building a strong, trusting relationship with the client and exploring all issues that arise. More specifically, I enjoy treating PTSD and complex-PTSD with a tailored approach for each client.

I am a licensed counselling psychologist with over 28 years of clinical experience. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment for adults to work on various personal challenges. I strongly believe in creating a trusting working alliance with my clients to promote progress and personal growth.

As a therapist in private practice for over 18 years, I offer a genuinely respectful, safe and non-judgmental space for you to gain a deeper sense of self and strengthen your relationships. Couple issues, such as poor communication, come in many shapes and sizes. As an experienced couple therapist I work hard to help you identify negative patterns that can hijack your relationship. My goal is to help you learn skills to manage, solve, and move on from the distress, ultimately regaining a loving respectful bond.

There are points in all our lives when we need outside help. Understanding your emotions and behaviors that are informed by past experiences and negatively affect your self-esteem and relationships with others is challenging. Often we want to change but don't know how. Developing a therapeutic alliance where you feel safe expressing and exploring all the parts of yourself- the good & the bad, is a valuable gift you can give to yourself. I value helping clients to explore the complexity of their beings, process pain, and use their struggles as opportunities for personal awakening and change.

There are so many unknowns right now. It's natural to be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, and unfocused. Dealing with all the current stressors means personal relationships are also strained. My clients seek out my expertise for help with pain from past experiences, feeling stuck, anxious, depressed or overwhelmed. Low self-esteem and self-sabotage are two of my specialties. Working together you will gain clarity and learn reliable tools to create a grounded, empowered, deeply contented life.

In the same way clients are unique, so are their therapeutic needs, expectations, and goals. As such, I consider my clinical practice to be integrative. This means that I incorporate my knowledge and training of various therapeutic modalities to ensure carefully tailored approaches for each of my clients. Specifically, I draw upon client-centered, emotion-focused, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioural approaches in my work. Above all, I thrive to create a therapeutic space that is characterized by collaboration, empathy, trust, and compassion.

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.

My approach to therapy is evidence-based, interactive, relational, & motivational. As I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is what is most healing & helpful in therapy, I strive to create a comfortable & supportive atmosphere where difficult issues can be addressed. When people feel supported & understood; they are often more able to face challenges. I also help clients become more aware of the obstacles which prevent them from leading more satisfying lives & improving their relationships. Sometimes that may involve exploring past experiences and/or it may involve learning new concrete coping skills

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who uses process-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help alleviate the suffering of the individuals with whom I am privileged to work. I will encourage you to cultivate present-moment awareness, to open up to inner experiences safely with curiosity and compassion, and to build new patterns that are consistent with your values and basic psychological needs. Exploring whether this approach could be helpful to you will be an important part of our process of informed consent.
