Teen Therapists in Montréal, QC

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.

As a CHILD and ADOLESCENT psychologist, I offer psycho-educational assessments (ADHD, dyslexia and other Learning Disabilities). I work with schools to ensure that your child gets the accommodations and support he or she needs. I also provide therapy to children and teens who struggle with behavior problems, anxiety and low self-esteem. Families undergoing divorce/separation are offered guidance and support. In my work I use the solution-focused approach that capitalizes on clients' existing strengths and helps them address problems in playful and creative ways. If you are worried about your child, it's time to act!

Are you or your child/ teen feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or burned out? Would you like to change unhealthy habits, improve your relationships, self-esteem, and communication skills? Are you having difficulty adapting to a new environment/life transition? Today's fast-paced society can be difficult to survive and thrive in, especially if you are juggling multiple roles or experiencing life transitions, such as changing careers or starting life in a new city/country. It can be scary to reach out to a therapist because you want to make sure that you find someone who can speak your language and really connect with you.

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.

I strive to help individuals, couples and families traverse tough transitions of life in the smoothest way possible through, guidance and concrete tools. I work with a variety of issues; from individual (self-esteem, stressful life events, separation, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, anger), to couple issues (conflicts, separation and divorce) and family issues (family conflict, behavioural concerns, substance abuse and children and adolescent mental health and parental coaching).

Do you know anyone who is Sad? Anxious? Stressed? Angry? Struggling at School or Work? Feeling unconnected with a partner? Every now and then we all need an opportunity to reflect, recharge and rethink our next move. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone you can trust. As a Psychotherapist, Educational Consultant, and Director, for over a decade I've had the privilege of helping people in times of difficulty - within the home, school, work, and hospital settings, individually and in groups. Services include: Individual Therapy (Adults, Children, Adolescents), Social Skills Groups, Couple Therapy, EFT, Parenting Programs, ADHD Coaching, and Family Therapy.

Je suis une clinicienne polyvalente ayant plus de 30 ans d’expérience. J’œuvre auprès de la clientèle adolescente, adulte et aînée. Je m’intéresse particulièrement aux troubles anxieux, aux transitions difficiles, aux deuils, à la dépression, aux difficultés d’adaptation, à la dysphorie de genre et au stress post-traumatique. J'ai trois sphères d'expertise. (1) Je détient une formation spécialisée en gérontologie. Je comprends donc les défis uniques liés au vieillissement, tels que les pertes et deuils, transitions (p. ex., retraite), problèmes de santé chroniques, nouveaux rôles sociaux et familiaux, et solitude.

Je suis une travailleuse sociale qui a à cœur l’amélioration du bien-être de chaque personne que je rencontre tout en respectant leur rythme avec douceur. C’est pourquoi, je souhaite vous démontrer qu’il est possible de choisir d’être le flamant rose dans un monde de pigeons car sur ses jambes fragiles, il tient en équilibre avec grâce par le courage de rester soi!

Are you or your child struggling with academic performance, learning disabilities, or ADHD? Over the past 10 years, I have consulted with hundreds of families with similar concerns, regarding students of all ages and academic levels. As a licensed psychologist with the OPQ, I specialize in the identification of learning issues through comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations and consultation. I obtained my PhD in School/Applied Child Psychology from McGill University and have worked in school, hospital, and not-for-profit settings.

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.

I follow with my client the main steps and events of his life story ( including if it, s the case immigration story), the mournings in waiting or which are difficult to do, the psychotraumatic sequellae which deteriorate his life day by day. With my client I notice his main reactions and how he is managing his personal and social life. I suggest to my client to identify the changes he wants to bring in his life and I try to show him how he could succeed in and how I can help him to succeed.
