Therapists in Quebec

I am a Montreal counselor and psychotherapist with over 30 years experience in private practice. I help people to understand themselves better, improve their self-esteem, get rid of self-defeating patterns and develop more satisfying relationships. My approach emphasizes how you think and make choices in the here and now, so that you can change faulty or limiting beliefs and overcome discouragement. My personal style is open, direct and encouraging.

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

Therapy can feel scary and uncomfortable, but it can also be a safe and supportive space to help you unpack the difficult experiences and emotions that are weighing heavily upon you. If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, I empathize with your pain and struggle and am ready and willing to help. Are you struggling to navigate a current situation or relationship-dynamic? Are you starting to realize that your usual ways of coping are no longer working for you? Do you want to see and feel change but don't know where to start? Is your inner-dialogue filled with shame, criticism and unhelpful ways of thinking?

I am glad you have made the decision to seek therapy to make changes in your life. I would be happy to work together to help you accomplish your goals. I am experienced in working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I frequently work with individuals from the LGBTQ+ communities. In my private practice, I see adults in individual psychotherapy. J'offre également mes services professionnels en français.

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.

You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy! Art therapy is the process of discovering and expressing yourself creatively through a variety of mediums. I work with your feelings and beliefs about your current state and support you in creating a way to maximize your daily functioning. Art therapy is appropriate for all ages, genders, and a broad range of concerns, including: connecting to the self; identity; life transitions; relational, school, or career difficulties; attention/focus; goal setting and achievement; stressful or worrisome feelings or behavioral patterns; and coping with grief and loss.

Sometimes we recognize that we are feeling overwhelmed and anxious and our normal coping skills aren’t carrying us forward. It’s at this time it can be helpful to discuss our fears and anxieties with someone who can help guide us on a better path. I am a graduate of McGill University with a masters in social work. I have 20 years experience in the social service field. I am passionate about helping people find their ways forward no matter where they find themselves on their personal journey. I believe people can change and learn new skills to help improve their lives and their relationships.

The goal for my clients is to help them understand and apply solutions that the field of psychology can offer. My approach is rooted in cognitive behavior therapy, with the flexibility of utilizing other approaches tailored to clients' needs or the specificity of the problem. An important element of therapy is positive psychology, encompassing personal growth and human development. Combined, these therapeutic orientations help clients develop thoughts and actions to help manage difficult situations or challenges they are facing. Importantly I also help clients gain new skills to feel better about themselves and the decisions they make in life.

Your situation, needs, obstacles &goals are unique to you. Therefore the approaches used are tailored to best fit your specific needs. Before we explore the changes you want to make in your unique situation, we explore together to understand the nature of your problems or concerns in great depth and detail. I provide the safe, strictly confidential space for you to freely explore your issues at a pace that best suits you, while also encouraging your growth. I deal with issues related to anxiety, depression, stress, coping skills, relationships, changes after marriage, sexuality, existential questions, finding meaning after loss & other areas, with individuals and couples.

After struggling to survive, we have to learn how to thrive. To help you wake up in the morning feeling vibrant, alive and grateful. To help you become the best you - you could be. To help you tap into your potential and feel incredible. How to not only love, but stay in love with yourself. How to bask in the light found at the end of the tunnel. My job is to help you create, visualize and embody your ideal future.

I am a warm Social Worker, who understands that life can be very difficult and overwhelming at times and I am dedicated to helping clients to successfully face, manage, and overcome these very real difficulties. I also support clients in building stronger and more useful coping strategies to deal with the difficult situations and elements of life that cannot be changed or controlled. I help clients to identify and set meaningful goals and to hold clients accountable for their development and for making progress toward their goals. In this way, I help clients to achieve greater balance, resilience, peace, and success in their lives.

Are you finding it difficult to cope with your feelings of anxiety or sadness? Is your self-esteem or body image getting in the way of your happiness? Or, do you sometimes find yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns of behaviours or repetitive relationships? Therapy is an opportunity to work through these problems and support your mental health in all aspects of your life.

People often seek therapy when they would like to work on issues such as stress management, personal loss or life cycle changes. In individual therapy, I support clients by providing specific strategies for changing unwanted behaviours or thoughts. A couple in distress may feel there is no way out of their troubled relationship. By observing the interactions between the partners I help couples change dysfunctional behaviours, strengthen friendship, increase intimacy, resolve problematic patterns of communication, improve emotional attachment, build resilience and enjoyment that each partner derives from the relationship.

I am a registered psychotherapist. I specialize in working with adolescents, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger management, relationship issues, low self-esteem, parenting problems, school or peer problems, and transitional or career issues. I strive to create a warm, supportive and nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to make healthy changes. I am experienced in providing brief and long-term therapy, and provide help that addresses immediate concerns, as well as provides enduring change.

There comes a point in everyone's life, where we might begin to experience challenges and difficulties. Throughout these hard times we might need the help of a trusted professional. I personally believe that no challenge or obstacle is ever insurmountable no matter how grim or tiring it may seem. As a certified counsellor, I can help people take the necessary steps in helping them achieve personal growth.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in therapy with children 3-12 years old. I have studied and trained at various academic institutions over the years in Canada, the United States and Europe. I possess clinical experience with children and families having worked on two hospital teams at the Montreal Children's Hospital Department of Psychiatry regarding treatment for ADHD children as well as the Royal Victoria Hospital's Day Treatment program for children with emotional and behavioural problems. Additionally, I teach Psychology at CEGEP and have taught Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at McGill University.

People seek help for specific reasons such as eating disorders, psycho-somatic conditions, obsessional behaviour, or phobic anxieties. At other times help is sought because of more general underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships. We believe in a mind-body connection so that improvements in psychological well-being translate into physical vitality. The benefits of our psychotherapy and counselling work include self-insight, inner fulfillment, raised self-esteem, a positive outlook and improved relationships.

Sometimes when we are distressed, we can lose sight of the things that are most important to us. When we are feeling unwell our energy often becomes focused on managing negative feelings and living a satisfying life can become difficult. Do you often feel anxious, sad, hopeless, or overwhelmed? Perhaps you are feeling stuck or just unsatisfied with your life right now. I can help you understand the processes that have contributed to and maintain your suffering, and support you in reconnecting with your values to live a more satisfying life.

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.

I am a Telephone Counselor with a large EAP company for the past 10 years and as a practicing Psychotherapist, Trauma Counselor for at least 25 years. Due toCCovid I offer phone and virtual sessions so help is easily accessible. I also use EMDR and enjoy working with clients who are open and willing to make positive changes in their lives. Whether you feel anxious, stuck, depressed or unhappy in some area of your life, my initial goal is to help you gain a feeling of safety. I encourage clients to tell me their story to help them see things from a fresh perspective, improve self-awareness and provide practical solutions.
