Benefits of this approach may include increased felt sense of your healthy boundaries, improved sleep, increased ability to fluctuate between different states of intensity in life without feeling stuck, and ability to attend to your needs first while caring for others.

I specialize in

Sometimes words are not enough or are inaccessible. Through musical explorations in the context of a therapeutic relationship, people can develop new coping skills, express themselves creatively and reconnect to themselves. Music therapists use active and receptive techniques in sessions. These include improvising, songwriting, and music listening and sharing. Clients’ needs, preferences, and strengths determine the course of their experiences in music therapy. I listen and support through active listening, verbal reflections, and through my own music-making. No prior musical training is necessary to experience music therapy.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, SCC, BSW, RSW, ts
Verified
I work using a humanistic, strengths-based, and
trauma
-informed lens, with a deep commitment to anti-oppressive practice.
Hi! I'm Jodie-Ann. I'm a Black, queer, non-binary social worker and community organizer based in Tio'tia:ke (aka Montreal, Quebec). Sometimes we have had experiences in life that can feel heavy, and they bring up emotions that can stay with us long after the experience has ended. This can feel exhausting as it impacts our daily lives and our current relationships, and sometimes we can't understand why. With support, those experiences can be explored and worked through, creating space for the emotions that can often feel trapped.

Amanda L. Hankins
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, TS
Verified
I worked for years with individuals who have experienced acute
trauma
such as sexual violence and victims of crime.
**I am currently on maternity leave until late summer 2022** I am a registered Psychotherapist and Social Worker in QC. I subscribe to the idea that suffering is a natural part of the human experience; we suffer and experience discomfort so we can cope and grow. It is possible however that we can exceed our threshold of suffering and our normal coping mechanisms are no longer sufficient. This is when our discomfort begins to feel like pain, anxiety, and depressive thoughts and is no longer beneficial to our growth. I like to think of my role as the collaborator and support system for times like these.
