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 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 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.

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.

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 am a psychologist with a passion for people and a deep and abiding respect for the courage that makes us whole. I believe we are our own map makers and possess what we require in order to navigate our unique course. Sometimes the journey is a solitary one, at other times it is shared. Therapy, as a collaborative engagement, is a place and a space to connect with one’s own knowing. You are your own best expert ... and beginner.

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.

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.

I have over 20 years experience, and extensive training specializing in therapy with couples and individuals whose relationships have become places of fear, insecurity, and loneliness, where bonds of emotional safety, trust and intimacy have gradually eroded. I offer distressed couples a short-term, emotionally focused approach (EFT) that's scientifically proven and highly successful in creating greater closeness, a way back to the heart of your relationship. When the connection that you'd hoped to depend on forever seems lost, replaced by distance and confusion, I can help you rekindle intimacy and compassion, a secure bond you can depend on even in hard times.

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.

Are you stuck in repetitive, unhealthy patterns and feel as if life happens to you? Drama Therapy can provide the tools and context to engage your imagination in telling your story, solve problems, express feelings and achieve insight. Being active in personal healing is transforming and life affirming experience. Through this technique the life journey of an individual/couple/family can be actively explored and interpersonal skills increased. Participants expand and integrate parts of themselves for a more functional self to emerge. Drama therapy's creative flexibility makes it an appropriate intervention for people of all ages.

Welcome! I am a psychologist devoted to helping people improve their lives by taking better care of themselves and their relationships.

Therapy can help people better understand themselves and find greater meaning in their lives. People enter therapy for a wide range of reasons, often involving difficulty solving a problem in their lives on their own. Some people, for example, are having difficulty in a romantic relationship and wonder how to improve the relationship, or end it. Other people experience conflict or anxiety in a wide range of interpersonal relationships and enter therapy as a means of improving their communication skills and the quality of their relationships. I help people in both monogamous and polyamorous relationships.

I am currently accepting clients to work with a PhD Candidate under my supervision. Priority will be given to older adolescents, but adults of any age are welcomed. I work with people struggling with OCD, anxiety, phobias, and ADHD, as well as those who have had concussions, or have other health-related concerns (e.g.,chronic pain/fatigue, migraine, IBS). I use CBT, ACT, and Schema-Focused Therapy.

Has life become a chore to you? Does your internal dialogue generate anxiety and stop you from achieving that which you want? Is anger and frustration creating trouble in your relationships? Have you lost pleasure in most activities? I work with people who struggle with anxiety, depression and interpersonal relationships, as well as people who face difficult life challenges, find themselves at a standstill or struggle to find meaning in their life.

I am certified in Grief and Bereavement education, in good standing with the ADEC and CCPA. I work from a person-centered approach and believe that each individual is the expert of their own life. Having experienced first-hand the physical, emotional and mental stress and anxiety brought on by illness and disease such as cancer, and related losses, my devotion, and passion lies in walking with you through what is a turbulent journey, one that does not need to be faced alone. I have completed my Master of Counselling and field practicum under the supervision of Dr. Bassam Khoury (www.drkhoury-montrealtherapist.com).

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 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).
