Are you ready to RECLAIM YOUR LIFE, and HAVE THE RELATIONSHIPS YOU WANT and DESERVE! As a licensed psychologist, I can help you overcome your emotional pain and depression, improve your interpersonal relationships, and break free of the fears that are limiting you from the life you want. Working together, we will examine the root cause of your difficulties, and find positive and practical solutions so that you may live a more healthy, happy and fulfilling life.

I work with an integrative approach which combines the psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioural approaches. Further, I am increasingly inspired by the most recent discoveries in developmental neuroscience. My method consists of working interactively with clients so as to encourage a dialogue with them which allows for a meeting of their cognitive and emotional experience as well as their unique behaviour and values, while ensuring that this dialogue makes sense for them.

Welcome, Armed with a Counselling Psychology Masters and actively working towards the psychotherapist title in Quebec, I am committed to aiding individuals confronting life's hurdles. Engaged at the West Island Cancer Wellness Centre, I conduct 1:1 and group therapy sessions. In my private practice, I offer therapeutic services to adolescents, adults, and seniors, reflecting a compassionate approach. Whether navigating a cancer diagnosis or seeking general mental health support, rest assured, I am here to provide assistance.

My aim is to guide my clients towards understanding and acceptance of (being with) their emotional experience so that they feel complete, free and more connected to others. Engaging in therapy with me involves warmth and empathy, which allows my clients to freely express, and understand, their experience. I validate the experience of my clients so that they genuinely begin feel well with who they are. I use empirically supported treatments that treat difficult emotions such as sadness, anger, and fear (Emotion Focused Therapy) or problematic thinking patterns related to anxiety/depression (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).

I work with people who struggle with binge eating, emotional eating, yo-yo dieting, body image issues, and weight management. Together, we’ll identify what’s contributed to your problematic relationship with food, explore ways of expressing, processing and coping with those issues, and help you recreate a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with yourself, your body and food. You will also learn to cope with the challenges of life without needing to rely on food. You can break free from the destructive cycle of dieting and emotional eating!

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.

Are you constantly worried about everyday things? Do you have difficulty living in the moment? Are you always thinking about the future and planning for the worse-case scenario? Is your mind filled with "what if" thoughts? Are you highly self-conscious and fearful in social situations? Do you experience trouble sleeping, muscle tension, and panic attacks? Have you considered going to see someone for help and think now might be the time?

My name is Odette Quenneville. I am a professional social worker and psychotherapist working in the Greater Montreal region. I am a member in good standing with the Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et des thérapeutes conjugaux et familiaux du Québec and hold a psychotherapy permit delivered by the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec. I have offices in Kirkland as well as in Hudson where I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, caregiving, spiritual counselling, grief and bereavement. I provide a safe environment where clients feel free to share their struggles and develop strategies to achieve healthy goals and objectives.

I specialize in helping clients with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, school-related anxiety, performance anxiety, peer relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. My primary goal is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients in a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental space. I believe that every person has the strength and resilience to work through difficult challenges, and I'm here to support my clients on their journey of self-discovery and growth. Beyond my therapeutic work, I'm passionate about dance and have over 10 years of teaching experience in the field.

Many of our clients are struggling with multiple issues - depression, anxiety, relationship problems, overeating - and often feel like everything is wrong and don't know why. Some have tried therapy before, but either didn't feel understood, or the work didn't lead to lasting change. If you see yourself in any of the following, we can help: have trouble forming or keeping relationships; stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns; feel burned out, running on empty, and can never quite seem to catch up; feel as though everyone else comes first; worry constantly about the stresses of life; can't seem to slow down and relax; constant feelings of panic or anxiety; self-sabotaging or self-destructive behaviour; feel disconnected from yourself or others; feelings of being numb; struggle with emotional eating and poor body image; low self-esteem or lack of confidence; victim of abuse or neglect, in childhood or adulthood. Our clients may struggle with any of these issues, among others, but all have one thing in common: they are ready to do the real work of healing the source of their suffering.

I have worked in the therapeutic field for upward of 15 years. I offer (licensed) psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. My practice is based on acceptance and kindness. I hold a strong belief that there is no room for judgment. I will work with you to create a therapeutic journey that feeds your personal curiosity, builds upon the strengths you already have and teaches you new techniques for coping with stress and sadness. You will learn to identify your goals, what frustrations you face, what changes you wish to make and how to implement those changes in a safe and honest environment.

Whether you are unhappy in your current job or career, on sick leave, are between two jobs, entering the job market, struggling with your boss or your peers at work, or simply wanting to jump-start or refocus your career, I can help. Prior to becoming a licensed psychologist, I held several senior positions in large and family-owned organizations for nearly 30 years. My experience in the workforce and my training as a psychologist and as a certified coach has allowed me to help many people in your current situation reclaim their well-being at work and in life.

Therapists can help individuals, families, and children to understand and help resolve problems of all kinds. We are faced with many challenges. Some are familiar and we have managed to deal with them effectively. At other times the unknown arrives and we need to speak to someone to be able to understand our options and to move on with confidence. At the end we feel more at ease and stronger with the confidence that we did not realize we have. That is where we know that we have made a good decision to consult someone with knowledge about our situation and relating to someone who has the life experience to help us effectively.

I want you to know you're taking right step. We haven't met yet but seeking out a qualified professional is the key to overcoming how you're feeling. Perhaps you are feeling depressed, isolated, worried, overwhelmed, exhausted or are in chronic pain. Maybe you are experiencing physical changes such as insomnia, fatigue, frequent headaches and back pain. Your behaving in ways that you think are affecting your loved ones. You often feel like a failure and experience guilt. Your thoughts run away with you and often go to dark places. You do not need to live this way anymore. You can feel better.

I offer evidence-based interventions, with an emphasis on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, for a variety of mental health concerns. I work collaboratively with clients to design individualized interventions for a well-being that lasts, and resilience to weather the storms.

My goal is to go beyond tools to free yourself from the negative cycles of conflict and despair; where you will find a new way to experience yourself and your relationships.

Do you feel challenged by depression or anxiety and seeking solutions? As a specialist, I can help you understand your conscious and unconscious patterns that might cause you to feel stuck.
