Therapists in Pointe-Claire, QC

We're here to help. We are a small team of highly specialized and skilled Ph.D./Psyc.D. level psychologists. We have extensive experience and expertise dealing with various mental health concerns including: anxiety, depression, anger, alcohol and substance misuse, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, relationship problems, low self-esteem and feeling lost or lacking in life meaning.

People seek out therapy for different reasons. Some are going through something they need help with, and some want to improve their lives, understand themselves better or work on their relationships.

Throughout the last decade, I have heard stories of pain, sadness, shame, vulnerability, and fear; within those stories there is also resilience, strength, and the ability to overcome that which feels overwhelming. I am a seasoned social worker with experience in various community settings, and different age groups including children, adolescents, and families. I also have experience working in the public healthcare system; in this role I counsel and guide individuals and families coping with chronic illnesses such as cancer, aging and loss of autonomy, end of life, grief, and loss.

I appreciate how difficult it can be to seek help and find the right therapist. Choosing your therapist is a very personal decision. It needs to feel right. Whether you're seeking help for difficulties in sexual matters, relationships, or for anxiety/mood disorders - it takes courage and determination to reach out to a stranger for support, guidance, and hopefully, change. My approach, first and foremost, is to provide you with a non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive atmosphere. I will then help you deal with your hardships and encourage you along the bumpy path that is often necessary to achieve permanent change.

I have more than 20 years of experience in working with adult and geriatric patients in individual therapy. I feel comfortable working with a variety of issues, ranging from anxiety and depressive disorders to relational difficulties and trauma. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) perspective, working together with you as a partner, using a relatively structured and directive approach. I use CBT techniques, such as stress management, cognitive restructuring, thought stopping and mindfulness training. I recognize that it can be difficult to open yourself up to therapy, and will be there to support and guide you.

I am the co-founder of the West Island Therapy and Wellness Centre. I have been working with children, teens, and their families for the past 20 years. I provide therapy and conduct assessments (psychological, psychoeducational, autism, developmental, etc). My particular area of interest is assessing and working with children and adults with learning disabilities, attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder, anxiety/depression, as well as behavioural and social problems. I earned a doctorate degree in Psychology from the Université du Québec à Montréal. I am a member in good standing with the Ordre des Psychologues du Quebec.

Hello, radiant soul! I am an Art Therapist with a Social Work background. I specialize in trauma and I work with children, adults and families to help them recognize and affirm their resilience and resources. I aim to offer a safe haven for self-discovery and transformation through creative arts. I see humans as the artists of their lives, who use a unique pallet to distinguish and define them. I am a guest on their inner journey, helping them to navigate their emotions, memories, and identities that shape their whole person. My role is to support my clients to find creative paths to heal, repair and develop better coping skills.
