Therapists in Westmount, QC

Everyone struggles at times. I want to help you to get along better and be happier - whether that is with yourself, your partner(s), at work or with your family. My priority is to create a safe space for you to explore your concerns. We will proceed at your pace and I will carry the hard parts with you so you don't have to feel alone or overwhelmed. We will work together to make the changes you want to make. My theoretical orientation is a combination of several theories of counselling, including Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy

I work with older adolescents and adults from ages 17+. I have over 20 years experience and have been in the field of mental health as a private practitioner, clinical supervisor, and director of a mental health agency. My ideal client is open to working hard and works with me in a collaborative way. Issues can be anything from depression, anxiety, life stress, relational issues, personality styles, marital difficulties, etc. The main goal is to effect change through insight. I also have over 20 years of supervisory experience and offer supervision to graduate students and mental health professionals of all levels.

My priority is to create a warm, engaging and non-judgmental environment so you feel safe exploring your concerns. I believe in a strengths-based and collaborative approach to counseling that explores practical solutions towards change. As a practitioner, researcher, and professor, I know there is no one-size-fits-all therapeutic intervention. I borrow from several theoretical and practice frameworks including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, psychodynamic, attachment, empowerment and intersectionality.

I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients in finding new ways to deal with and alleviate distress. Within a safe, non-judgemental space, I work with you to understand and overcome inner conflicts. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who seek more positive relationships. When working with children, adolescents, and families, I adopt using a creative and playful approach in finding solutions and helping you express challenges. I value creativity, self-expression, and the power within to create change.

With every day comes new challenges, and with them, opportunities for growth. Taking the time to prioritize yourself during difficult times is essential in attaining new heights. The obstacles we face can sometimes make it seem that our objectives are out of reach. In a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment, we will work together to get you move past this feeling of being stuck by exploring your goals, the impasses you are facing, and bolster your individual strengths with the aim of guiding you towards a more enjoyable and fulfilling life.

Dear clients, I am the President and co-founder of the Montreal Psychology Center. My specialties include Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Anxiety and Depression. In addition, I completed specialized training in couple therapy. While working as a therapist at Montreal’s Royal Victoria Hospital (2004-2007), I was the co-developer of a workshop for couples entitled “Make Love Better”. This 8-week seminar was designed to help couples improve their relationships by promoting effective communication and enhancing emotional and sexual intimacy. My expertise on couple problems has been sought after by the media (e.g., CJAD, Syd Miller Show).

Are you going through a difficult time and feeling overwhelmed by strong emotions? Perhaps you are feeling stuck and unable to make decisions to move forward in your relationships. I am a registered psychotherapist with a masters degree in Social work from Mcgill University, with over 15 years experience working in the health field. I completed a post graduate certificate in Couple and Family therapy at the JGH dept of Psychiatry. I use an empathetic approach to ensure the therapeutic alliance is built on trust and safety. Together we will find solutions that will assist you to move forward.

As an experienced clinical psychologist, as well as a McGill professor in Departments of both Psychology and Psychiatry, I bring a high level of competence to address your concerns. My 25 years as Chief Psychologist at the Royal Vic, and previous positions at major hospitals in Los Angeles, Toronto and Vancouver have afforded me the opportunity to help clients with a wide variety of problems. I have a particular interest in psychological problems of work where I provide both executive coaching services and small business consultation. For over 30 years, I have also worked with many professional athletes seeking peak performance.

Award-winning clinic of psychologists, psychotherapists, and counselors in multiple locations, including Montreal.

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 work with clients to help them identify and tackle the obstacles blocking them from enjoying a healthier, happier, more fulfilling life. Together, we’ll work to understand how your past may influence your life today, how you make sense of and derive meaning and purpose from life, and how you can bolster your resilience when faced with future challenging experiences.
