Female Therapists in Montréal, QC

I am trained to help adults, children, adolescents, men, women , families, and professionals better cope with a wide variety of emotional, relational and personal challenges. If you are feeling overwhelmed, out-of touch with yourself or generally unhappy and enjoy a genuine conversation with another person willing to reach out to help, than I believe we would be a good fit. I developed an eclectic and culturally sensitive approach to therapy, heavily influenced by humanistic/existential, positive psychology, CBT, and expressive art therapy.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for 30 years, and have expertise in treating individuals experiencing a wide range of difficulties. These include relationship issues, women 's issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, emotional abuse, childhood trauma and grief. My approach, while primarily psychodynamic, includes cognitive strategies, mindfulness and active, creative strategies.

In my Counselling practice, I use Hypnotherapy with women who want to overcome anxiety related to low self esteem and poor body image, emotional eating, weight loss difficulties, lack of exercise motivation, social and performance anxiety, as well as insomnia, phobias, fears, situation specific behaviors, limiting beliefs that affect your personal life or professional performance. I also use EMDR with clients who need to overcome past traumatic experiences and help reshape their emotional reaction, thoughts and beliefs into more positive, constructive ones that help lead to a happier, more fulfilling life.

If you are feeling disoriented in your life or in yourself, emotionally overwhelmed, or struggling, I offer personalized support through a creative therapeutic process at my studio in the Plateau, or in online sessions. Through a blend of counselling and art therapy, together we can explore what's been going on for you and address your current needs. Art Therapy can provide a curious process of self expression, catharsis, discovery, and personal growth. No previous skills in art making is necessary, this therapeutic process is accessible and unique to each individual.

The philosophy and unique approach at Montreal Women 's Psychology is to empower women to achieve their potential and lead fulfilling lives. I obtained an MBA and worked for many years in the business world while raising a family prior to returning to my passion of Psychology and helping others reach their goals. I gained first hand insights regarding the challenges faced by women today. I tailor therapy plans and life coaching to each woman , taking into consideration family dynamics, work environment, social, romantic, cultural, stage of life, and reproductive-related events.

I provide a woman - centered approach to mental health, as a licensed psychologist and life coach, that is personalized to fit the needs and personality of each individual woman . Women 's mental health may be affected by reproductive- related events (e.g., the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause). As such, the possible impact of biological factors need to be understood and incorporated in a holistic approach, that includes psychological, social, and cultural factors, for each woman to receive optimal treatment. Within this context I provide diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy, and consultation for a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment concerns.

I am a Licensed Psychologist and Coach who works with men and women who may be experiencing difficulties such as depression, stress, burn out and anxiety. As a trauma informed therapist I can work closely with you to uncover unresolved emotions and painful life events that may be blocking you from love, self expression and feeling that your needs are being met. I love supporting people to connect to their true emotions and body intelligence which will lead them to make choices that work best for themselves, their families and the world around them. You don't have to struggle alone!

I am a social worker with 10 years of experience working with vulnerable youth and families, parents who have a child with a disability and adults experiencing various life challenges. I have a strong interest in maternal mental health as well as supporting women , birthing people, men and couples through perinatal loss, grief and fertility challenges.

Befriending emotions and connecting with body wisdom can help you navigate life's challenges, feel more grounded and confident and make changes that lead to more ease and better relationships. Perhaps you'd like to set healthier boundaries, develop more self-compassion, or enhance your sense of yourself as a sensual and sexual being? I aim to co-create a welcoming, compassionate space where trust, personal awareness and authenticity can develop so you can take action toward your needs and goals. If you seek to embrace the wholeness within and beyond yourself, allow me to support you in your personal transformation journey.

I specialize in therapy for men! I also work with women and people, regardless of their gender identification, sexual orientation, their ethnic and cultural background! :) Do you feel trapped? Nobody understands you? You have tried everything but nothing works? You've said it, shouted it, screamed it but no one heard you? It is difficult or impossible to say no without feeling guilty? You have been told that crying is for the weak? You've been told that something is wrong with you? I can help you work through all of this and help you become yourself again! I also offer ADHD coaching and couple's therapy (for Ontario's residents)

Difficult life challenges and decisions can be overwhelming. Clients can feel stuck and don't know how to proceed. I can really clients gain better understanding to create change. I have a Masters in Counselling, McGill University and am a certified Executive/Life Coach. Clients can have challenges that benefit not just from awareness or insight but also need behavioural change. I facilitate clients to learn practical skills and explore issues more deeply. Having lived and worked overseas for 10 years in several different countries means I have cultural awareness. I am skilled at picking out the real issues and concerns.

My approach is based on listening, understanding and activation. Listen to understand and propel you into change. I use three basic approaches: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Mindfulness. I integrate other modalities when necessary. CBT: to discover the thoughts and beliefs that affect your emotions and behaviors. EFT: to help you stop avoiding emotions and use them as carriers of information essential to your mental health. Mindfulness to bring a different way of being in the world, deal with stress and develop a dynamic relationship with your environment.

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.
