Therapists in Montréal, QC

Anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, work-life balance, trauma... sometimes navigating through it all, and facing life's challenges might seem like a never-ending struggle. You have the right to feel heard and be heard, as well as respected for who you are and what you have experienced.

If you are struggling with life difficulties, my hope is to help you navigate these potentially life-changing experiences, whether you are an individual or a couple who feels stuck. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and presenting with a wide range of difficulties but I specialize in anxiety, mood disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, couple difficulties and issues surrounding female sexuality. Rather than managing symptoms, I strive to accompany you in making integral changes that address the root-cause of your difficulties.

I have been working to help my clients overcome difficulties and challenges in private practice as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Creative Arts Therapist since 2004.

I have treated clients with issues related to/stemming from: Depression, Anxiety, Self-mutilative behaviours, Bullying/social marginalization, Eating Disorders, Sexuality, Adjustment Disorders, Family Life Cycle Events, Divorce, Trauma, Illness / grief. Additionally I am trained in EMDR and employ this modality when applicable.

If today seems like an interminable day, and sets the stage for a profound apprehension for tomorrow, whether individually, within your couple or your family; it is maybe time to consult. Whomever you choose, be sure to be comfortable and feel safe. If you are interested in someone who has a compassionate ear and a reassuring expertise, perhaps we could work collaboratively at finding ways to foster harmony, confidence and peace for you and your close ones. Trained as Couple and Family Therapist at Syracuse University, I work as much with couples, families as individuals.

Life can be very difficult - and it can be wonderful too. Art has always been something we human beings turn to in our need to discover and articulate the light and darkness of our inner world. Time spent with an art therapist can help you access your inner creativity so as to express your feelings, organize your thoughts, and deal with issues and relationships that are causing you difficulty. Art therapy can also provide the means for productive self-reflection leading to personal growth and emotional well-being. No art skills are necessary.

From time-to-time all of us have to deal with personal problems. Often we are able to resolve them on our own but occasionally we need to seek the help of a qualified professional. As a licensed Psychologist, I have extensive experience in psychotherapy and counselling. I can help people to overcome adversity in their lives and change things that stand in their way. I make special efforts to tailor my approach to the individual in the room, in order to maximize the potential that clients will be engaged and active participants in their therapy.

My aim is to listen to my patients and provide proactive care that will help them reach balance and inner peace. Through a CBT based approach , I try and identify the root causes of problems and provide my patients the tools needed to help themselves achieve long term wellness. My specialties are anxiety, depression, ocd, stress and anger management, couples therapy, addiction, chronic pain, emotional disturbance, self esteem, family conflicts and anxiety . As a fully licensed Psychologist (permit granted by the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec) I can issue receipts to those with insurance for full or partial reimbursement.

I have more than 30 years of Social Work experience working with children, adolescents and families, young and older adults. I have strong skills displaying empathy, patience, creativity and critical thinking. I most enjoy working with adult women experiencing difficulties in their partner relationships, with adult children, with difficult elderly parents, with balancing life demands, with depression and anxiety. I am working online only. I am also licensed to work electronically with clients from Ontario. Contact me by my email address. I look forward to welcoming you into my practice.

I am a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist practicing in the Montreal area for over thirty years. My specialty areas include treatments for anxiety, depression, interpersonal, sexual and couple difficulties and issues related to self-esteem and wellness. I employ an integrative approach to psychotherapy within the context of a supportive and caring framework which respects the uniqueness of each individual. I help clients identify key factors, both past and present, which contribute to their current difficulties. They are then guided to change their coping strategies to optimize well-being and deal more productively with life's challenges.

Not taking new clients. Are you searching to better understand yourself, or to shift out of disappointing repetitive patterns? Or perhaps you need help with a stressful circumstance or relationship? Whatever the reason, choosing a therapist can be an overwhelming process; it is essential to find a good fit. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, and I believe in teaching strategies that can help you long after ending therapy. Together, we will discover what makes your brain unique and practice new behaviours to help shift you out of stuck habits. I will encourage you to step a little out of your comfort zone each week.

Sometimes "expecting" is not what you expect! If you are thinking about having a baby, struggling to conceive, are pregnant or are within your first year postpartum and are concerned about your experience, I can help. Sometimes too and tragically, pregnancies don't always end with a happy outcome. Whichever situation you are facing, I can offer you both individualized support or in a group setting so that you don't feel alone and isolated in your current struggle. I work collaboratively with my clients and my style is very conversational. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease in coming to therapy.

Multicultural and bilingual, I have lived and worked in different countries and cultures including France, USA, Tunisia, Switzerland and Quebec. This has taught me that the search for meaning and wholeness and human connection is universal. However, in today's fast paced wired world, both inner and outer pressures make it easy to lose track of these values, to disconnect from our own needs , our inner voice and from authentic relationships with others. Depressions, anxiety, even certain health issues are just some of the inevitable symptoms that may emerge to make us stop and question our trajectory.

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.

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.

There comes a point in everyone's life, where we might begin to experience challenges and difficulties. Throughout these hard times we might need the help of a trusted professional. I personally believe that no challenge or obstacle is ever insurmountable no matter how grim or tiring it may seem. As a certified counsellor, I can help people take the necessary steps in helping them achieve personal growth.

I view psychotherapy as a journey of understanding and changing patterns that lead to emotional suffering. My goal is to accompany you in this journey, helping you make sense of your internal experiences, rekindle with your strengths, and explore new ways of being. I help adults struggling with emotional dysregulation, difficulties forming and maintaining relationships, and problems building connections with people. I also help individuals navigate challenging life transitions (grief, loss, separation, health issues).

I see therapy as a collaborative process in which we work to uncover significant patterns and events that have shaped your life, helping us to better understand your current situation. As connections are made between past and present, you will begin to gain insight and perspective that will help you to experience your life, your relationships and your career in new ways. My aim is for you to feel supported, understood and encouraged to learn more about yourself in order to make meaningful changes in your life. Together, we will remove the barriers that are preventing you from moving forward.

Welcome to the Creatives, the Caretakers, and the Gifted. Do you forget yourself by putting others first? Maybe you just don't feel that spark anymore and the world feels grey and flat. Maybe you feel like you're always the odd one out, or that you've never really connected with the therapy process because it felt stiff or boring. If you want to reconnect to your spark and creativity, find meaning, and feel empowered, let's connect. In our work, we will reconnect your mind, body, soul, and heart towards a whole and empowered Self. And believe it or not, this includes having fun!

Music has an amazing capacity to help us heal our pain. As an alternative to talk therapy, I use music to improve the emotional and psychological wellbeing of my clients. Music Therapy harnesses music, as a means for soothing and regulating emotions, expressing and exploring life experiences, redefining who we are and changing how we connect to the world. It is deeply connected to memories, culture, identity, relationship experiences and beliefs. Whether you are a seasoned musician or simply a music lover; music is the language of emotion. This is an experiential, creative approach to therapy that anyone can try.
