Therapists in Sud-Ouest, Montréal, QC

I am a warm Social Worker, who understands that life can be very difficult and overwhelming at times. I am dedicated to helping clients to successfully face, manage, and overcome these very real difficulties. I also support clients in building stronger and more useful coping strategies to deal with the difficult situations and elements of life that cannot be changed or controlled. I help clients to identify and set meaningful goals and to hold clients accountable for their development and for making progress toward their goals. In this way, I help clients to achieve greater balance, resilience, peace, and success in their lives.

As a couple and family therapist, I am dedicated to helping families and couples overcome challenges and build healthy relationships. I work collaboratively with clients, drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to their unique needs. I am committed to respecting the diverse cultural contexts in which families and couples live and love, and I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their concerns, gain new insights, and develop the skills they need to thrive.

I'm here to listen. I understand that talking about personal challenges can be difficult, and reaching out for support is not always easy. My ultimate goal is to increase your well-being and life satisfaction by helping you understand what is standing in the way of your happiness. I work with individuals who struggle with relationship issues, anxiety, low self esteem, post-traumatic stress and anger management issues.

Hi, I am a bilingual Mental Health Occupational Therapist with experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach focuses on empowering clients and facilitating their engagement in the activities and occupations that are meaningful to them, but that may be impacted by difficulties with their mental health. These activities can range from productive activities such as school performance, work performance, or performance in daily duties and domestic tasks, to difficulties in self-care or leisure activities.

Naila brings to her counselling practice many years of experience in the community sector. This work deeply informs her desire to learn and grow as a person, teacher, counsellor, human, in ways that honour our individual and collective stories and their impact on our day to day.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Concordia University. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University and a Psychologist in the Centre for CBT Research, Training, and Intervention of the McGill University Health Centre. I help adults who are struggling with anxiety disorders (e.g., panic attacks, social anxiety, worry, phobias, health anxiety), obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, perfectionism, insomnia, hoarding, repetitive behaviours (e.g., tics, hair-pulling, skin-picking), stress, and relationship/self-esteem issues.

I have been working with mood related conditions (anxiety, depression, bipolar, obsessive and compulsive thoughts and behaviours, impulsivity) since 2018. I specialize in identity related issues including but not exclusively gender and transitioning related difficulties. The context of my specializing studies have been family and couple related difficulties including cultural and religion related and romantic and intimate relationship dynamics including infidelity and attachment. Even though I am not an expert on trauma (immigration related, war, assault, bullying, ...) traumatic experiences have often been part of my work.

As a clinical social worker with 11+ years of experience working with adolescents, adults & couples managing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, self-esteem & relationship issues, I believe in empowering people through a person-centered and collaborative approach. My clinical approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based process to trigger goal-oriented actions. During each personalized session, I use a multitude of therapeutic models in order to serve my clients needs individually.

Authentic communication means knowing yourself, your needs, boundaries and patterns, and expressing them responsibly and with love. People who see me want to see how their repetitive, harmful patterns have held them back from getting their needs met. Together, working on self-esteem, relationships, patterns, and communication skills can lead to lasting change in your life. You have the capacity to grow, to heal from whatever may be holding you back and to connect with your happiest self simply by truly being You. Self-acceptance, love and taking responsibility for yourself and your needs allow you to be HAPPY.

I offer an individual psychotherapy service adapted to the needs and particularities of each one. My approach is integrative and aims to support those who are going through painful periods of life or experience deep dissatisfaction associated with emotional difficulties. I also work with individuals who, without going through a period of "crisis", wish to undertake a process of personal development.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with several years of experience working with school-aged children, adolescents, young adults and families. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from McGill University and am a member in good standing with the OTSTCFQ. My past experience has focused on supporting clients dealing with all issues related to anxiety, depression, learning difficulties, self-esteem, career and academic advising, school-related stress, parenting challenges, attachment, developmental disabilities, bullying and emotion regulation.

I am an MSW graduate registered with the professional Order of Social Workers, Family and Marriage Therapists of Quebec (OTSTCFQ). My experience varies through different clinical settings and crisis intervention.
