Elders (65+) Therapists in Montréal, QC

I think that we're all on a journey to self discovery and it should be a reasonable goal to accomplish during our lifetime. However, some of us have legitimate reasons to keep putting it off and some of us didn't have enough care and support to place them on the right path to it. With some help, each of us will be able to walk their own journey. I could help you understand your past and how it got you to where you are today, and walk with you to the source of negative feelings and thoughts that may be affecting you, your relationships, studies or work; to help you process them.

If you are struggling, feeling stuck, or going through a disorienting loss or life change, I offer support through a blend of counselling and Art Therapy in a comfortable studio space. Together we can explore your experience and find a personalized creative process that resonates with you in the moment. Art Therapy can provide a curious process of self expression, catharsis, discovery, and personal growth. No previous skills in art making is necessary, this healing process is accessible and unique to each individual. I am also available to provide this same service in online sessions.

I am a compassionate, culturally responsive, and a religiously sensitive social worker who creates a safe, caring, non-judgemental and confidential environment where clients can feel supported and comfortable being themselves. I am deeply committed to helping my clients achieve a better understanding of self through the exploration of feelings and emotions to ultimately cultivate the best version of themselves. I use a personalized approach to tailor to my client’s needs as they navigate through their unique journey. My goal is to empower, strengthen, and equip my clients with the tools they need to lead more resilient lives.

I am a social worker with over 12 years experience providing counselling to diverse people who are experiencing complex challenges related to mental and physical health, substance use, racism, homophobia, gender-based violence, and family conflict. With a wide range of lived experiences, I am relatable, and offer knowledge, experience, emotional as well as practical support to my clients. I have a genuine concern for my clients’ overall well-being and I cultivate relationships with my clients to help them create meaningful change. I help clients to achieve a better quality of life by envisioning and building the life they desire.

I have experience working with mood related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, obsessive and compulsive thoughts and behaviours, impulsivity, and self-esteem. In addition, I have also worked on treating identity issues including sexual orientation and gender; family related difficulties; cultural and religion related concerns; romantic and intimate relationship dynamics including infidelity and attachment; and finally difficulties related to experiences of trauma (sexual abuse and war).

You are seeking support and assistance as you work through your issues. You understand that having someone who understands much of the inner workings of your head and heart and who can offer an objective perspective can be a valuable and comforting ally in your growth and recovery.

I provide psychotherapy services for adults, couples,and the LGBTQ community for a wide range of issues including: Depression, anxiety, workplace stress, grief, divorce/ separation, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and trauma.

Many of us face times in our lives when we need support to get through difficult periods. I see psychotherapy as a safe space to explore yourself, gain self-insight and understanding, and develop tools and resources to face the ups and downs of life. Since 2011, I have had the chance to work with adults with various needs and challenges. I have supported clients to work through relationship difficulties, repetitive patterns that were no longer serving them, anxiety, depression, painful emotions related to present or past events (including traumas), self-esteem issues, grief and loss, and adjustment to chronic illness.

Let a Sexologist help you! My name is Maude and I'm passionate about sexology. I work with individuals and couples who are tired of feeling stuck in a rut. My goal is to help you thrive in your love life and your sex life.

As a couple and family therapist, psychotherapist and creative arts therapist, my clients include individuals, couples and families at all stages of life. My work is systemic in that I see individuals as impacted by, and interconnected within, larger networks of relationships and social systems. The values underlying my practice are rooted in a long-term dedication to social justice, my belief in creativity as a healing force, and my love and respect for the natural world. Seeking help takes courage, and no one approach works for everyone. I work collaboratively, and tailor my approach to each unique person.

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.

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 at the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Unit 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, difficulties with repetitive behaviours (e.g., tics, hair-pulling, skin-picking), stress, and relationship and self-esteem issues.

Do you want to take back control of your life? Together we can work at understanding and dealing with emotions, thoughts, and behaviours that affect your life and relationships. Setting priorities, goals, limits, and managing change are important factors for healthy and balanced living. Listening to core issues that have impacted your life is part of the process, but in addition we can collaboratively explore practical strategies and tools to help you cope. Therapy should also focus on your strengths, helping you achieve personal growth and greater life satisfaction. .

I believe that seeking support from another human being is a very natural thing to do. As a therapist, I believe that my humanity is an asset in supporting clients as they work through challenges, developing a deeper understanding of their lives. As a counsellor and art therapist, I focus on creating a therapeutic relationship based on trust, where I bring a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach paired with my training to help clients work through whatever challenges they are facing. I have a special passion for working with immigrants and refugees: as a newcomer to Canada, I understand the struggles that are often presented.

I am a Psychologist/Registered Marriage Therpist in private practice. I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with life's challenges, losses and inevitable transitions. Clients get clarity of their situation, identify and modify self-defeating patterns of behaviour. Couples begin to recognze the negative interaction cycles that keep them stuck. My goal is to build trust, emotional safety, empathy and forgiveness. For relationships too wounded to repair, I help couples separate with dignity and respect. I use an integrative approach combining psychodynamic / EFT/famiy system /CBT therapies. I offer online sessions too.

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.

Does your child struggle with anxiety? Do worries make it hard for your child to settle into sleep?  Does he or she avoid trying new things or fear being away from you? While some worry is normal, chronic anxiety can undermine a child's sense of safety and limit his or her ability to face new challenges and develop self-efficacy. Well-intentioned parents often respond to their child's worries in ways that actually make things worse. In my virtual workshop for parents of anxious kids, I offer strategies that help children feel more secure, confident and resilient, so they can move through anxious feelings more easily.

Over the years, I have helped clients with issues of self-esteem, identity, anxiety/depression, emotional self-regulation, trauma, and illness. I also received specialized training in sex and couple therapy over the span of 2 years. I therefore have extensive training in issues related to sexual desire/arousal, sexual pain, premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. I am also specialized in couple issues, including communication, emotional and sexual intimacy, commitment (e.g. divorce, infidelity, negotiating open relationship), and navigating major life transitions (e.g. childbirth, illness, changes in employment).

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.
