Therapists in Gatineau, QC

We provide confidential and empathic psychotherapy mental health services to adults, adolescents, children and families. All services are provided by a licensed mental health professional or under the supervision of a licensed professional. Services are available for adults, children, adolescents and families in English or French. We work with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dissociative and other trauma-related difficulties, childhood maltreatment, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.

Welcome to my psychotherapy practice! I offer attachment theory-based psychotherapy. Are you tired of your childhood wounds running your life? Of knowing where your anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulty trusting yourself and others come from, but not knowing what to do about them? Of feeling like you’ve tried everything to heal yourself and to have success in your relationships, but not seeing the results you've hoped for? In my work, I put my knowledge of attachment theory as well as my skills in SFBT, CBT, MI, and mindfulness to use in helping my clients progress in their healing of lifelong childhood wounds.

I offer individual therapy to adults and bring a diverse, multicultural life experience to my therapeutic perspective. I will provide a safe environment from which you can explore yourself, your challenges and your resources in order that you may gain insight and awareness into your unique human experience.

Hi, I'm Kim. I have worked with people across the age span, individually and in families, for the past few decades. I am currently working with people who are interested in finding ways to better cope with strong emotions, complex trauma, mood disorders and building stronger connections in their relationships. I have a long history of working with children, teenagers and young adults in particular and am often described as conversational, humorous and creative in my approach. I believe in being transparent, flexible, nonjudgmental and creating safe spaces where people feel heard and connected.

Accepting new patients. In-person sessions (Centretown). The goal of my treatments is not only to alleviate or extinguish psychological symptoms, but also to allow patients to better know and understand themselves. Working with an interpersonal psychoanalytic approach will lead you in the exploration of both conscious and unconscious experiences, which fosters a better functioning within your interpersonal contexts. I have been working with a large variety of patients of all ages, treating them not as a mere set of symptoms but as whole people with unique and unrepeatable stories.

If you're considering seeing a psychologist, you're uncomfortable with something in your life. Maybe you've carried around a vague dissatisfaction with yourself, with others, or with life for as long as you can remember. Maybe you feel empty, hollow, or like some piece of you is missing. Maybe you feel full to bursting with rage, with pain, with despair. Maybe you've noticed that all your relationships tend to end the same way, but you're not sure why. Maybe you keep changing jobs, but never feel accomplished.

Counselling can be quite daunting, so congratulations on taking this first step. I believe our lives are shaped by countless stories. Some are pleasant, some are challenging, and some may be buried deep inside. As Maya Angelou puts it, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." I provide a warm and accepting place where you can be yourself -- with all your stories, whatever they might be. Together, we can explore what's going on in your life today, and how your past stories may be affecting you in the present.

Accepting New Clients! Welcome. If you're here, life might be hard right now. It might have been this way for a long time. What you're feeling makes sense. It might be challenging to feel like yourself. Perhaps who you truly are is yet to be discovered. To genuinely feel connected and to understand who we are, we need to understand how our past and present contexts shape the way we respond to difficulties. Sometimes, these protective measures no longer serve us. Perhaps it's time for a change so that we can move forward in healthy ways and toward empowering relationships.
