I welcome older children (aged 11+), youth, and adults to my practice. Through discussion or creative process, we carve out a space to hear from your voice of awareness, and from there, identify its needs and goals. From stuck habits to difficult relationship dynamics, we can identify parts of your life that both are and are not serving you; so as to strengthen the parts of you that nurture the more positive aspects, while working to better understand and manage the aspects that may be holding you back. Through a blend of psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and humanistic approaches, we honour and explore your identity and its roles.

I follow with my client the main steps and events of his life story ( including if it, s the case immigration story), the mournings in waiting or which are difficult to do, the psychotraumatic sequellae which deteriorate his life day by day. With my client I notice his main reactions and how he is managing his personal and social life. I suggest to my client to identify the changes he wants to bring in his life and I try to show him how he could succeed in and how I can help him to succeed.

To your heart, body, and soul. I invite you to explore the inner life that is waiting for you with creativity and imagination, strengthening your inner resources, as well as connecting with yourself and your community. Art therapy involves creation and exploration through artistic media with an art therapist. It enables the creative expression of emotions, awareness, and self-discovery in a safe and welcoming space. It can help you explore and connect with your true self. When emotions are overwhelming, art becomes a space where you can settle down, unravel, and reweave the meaning of your experience. No talent needed to benefit.

Life undoubtedly has its challenges and it could be unnerving to access support. Throughout the course of our life, challenges we face can have a profound impact on our emotional and physical well being as well as affect our interpersonal relationships.

Counselling 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 progress but don't know where to start? Is your inner-dialogue filled with shame, criticism and unhelpful ways of thinking?

Occurring at any point in the lifespan, difficult and traumatic life experiences can leave their traces on us and impact the way that we experience the world around us. Have you found that the wounded parts of you are directing too much of your life? Are you looking for better coping skills? It might be time for you to begin the work of healing and start to experience the world more peacefully. I support women, non-binary, and trans adults who are looking to heal wounds related to traumatic experiences.

I am a Psychologist/Registered Marriage Therapist in private practice. I work with individuals and couples dealing with life's challenges, losses and inevitable transitions. I help clients get clarity of their situation, identify and modify self-defeating patterns of behaviour and begin to recognze the negative interaction cycles that keep them stuck. My goal is to build trust, emotional safety, empathy and forgiveness. For relationships too wounded to repair, I will help couples separate with dignity and respect. I use an integrative approach combining psychodynamic / EFT/family systems /CBT therapies. I offer online sessions.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes but that doesn't mean you can't change how you feel. Learn how to navigate life's challenges with us. We provide non-judgemental, friendly space and hands-on solutions so that you have the strength and tools to solve the problems you can solve, accept those you can't and cultivate the wisdom to know the difference between the two. Whether you're anxious about your circumstances, feel stuck in your life or your relationship, or are struggling with debilitating symptoms, we are here to help.

Personal growth is an ongoing process that often requires focused attention and accompaniment. Results are based on the ability to built a trusting relationship that is interactive and collaborative. I am a bilingual, licensed, therapist that has worked in field for over 30 years. My interactive style tends to be warm, engaging and down to earth; while at the same time being clear and direct. I am also known to introduce creative and humorous approaches to the interactive process and the presenting challenges. This occurs through a "strengths based" approach and in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

I have 20+ years of experience working with individuals suffering from alcohol and drug dependence and psychological problems including gambling, borderline personality disorder, anxiety and mood disorders. Until 2022 I was a staff member at the Addictions Unit of the McGill University Health Centre. I use a variety of motivational and psychological approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for individuals, couples and groups. Mindfulness-Integrated CBT techniques are particularly useful for the treatment of individuals recovering from substance dependence.

Over time, experiences are written into our minds and bodies, and can keep us feeling stuck in patterns of thinking, behaving, and relating that no longer serve us. In therapy we can work together to unfurl these stories; finding freedom from automatic responses, and illuminating pathways to healing that are in line with your goals and values. I work with adults and older teens experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation & more. I provide unconditional support, honest feedback, and gentle guidance to help you process your experiences, develop insights, and create lasting change.

People-pleasers, perfectionists, worriers, and warriors ages 6 to 66: this is your call to action. You want to be more in touch with yourself but you have been held back by anxiety, trauma, and people taking advantage of you. As part of the LGBTQ2IA+ and geeky communities, you sometimes feel like you're cast aside and rarely understood. It is so tempting to give up, but you continue to persevere! You've been fighting on your own for so long that now you're ready for some more support from someone who won't ask you to educate them about being queer/the MCU/BDSM/pop culture references.

I think it's safe to say that we are all living through a moment of profound uncertainty, with heightened feelings of anxiety, depression and isolation. My hope is that, together, we can help you reclaim a sense of connection with yourself and your community, reconnect with experiences of joy and pleasure, and move through and integrate painful emotions and past experiences.

Are you stuck in repetitive, unhealthy patterns and feel as if life happens to you? Drama Therapy can provide the tools and context to engage your imagination in telling your story, solve problems, express feelings and achieve insight. Being active in personal healing is transforming and life affirming experience.

Participants expand and integrate parts of themselves for a more functional self to emerge. Drama therapy's creative flexibility makes it an appropriate intervention for people of all ages.

Each of us is resilient and capable of creating change. Often all we need is someone to listen, guide and help us on the way. I am a licensed Psychologist, educator, and a member of the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec. My 25 years of experience have taught me that the relationship between the client and the therapist is at the core of effective and successful therapy. A strong therapeutic bond leads to trust, growth and healing. With this guiding principle in mind, my aim is to create a safe space to work authentically with you while you take steps toward meaningful change.

With my more than 15 years of experience in psychotherapy, I can help you understand why you feel anxious, sad, or confused, and to make sense of your experience. I can support you discovering what is really going on with you, until the point when you feel at home and at peace with yourself, and thus be able to take control of your life and grow as a person. I am also a university professor teaching clinical psychology and a psychotherapy researcher, which allows me to combine evidence-based beneficial approaches to fit your unique situation and needs.

Sometimes words are not enough. As a music therapist, I bring music-making and listening to the therapy room, facilitating individuals in expressing themselves creatively, developing new coping skills, and reconnecting with their authentic selves. Each session, whether it involves listening to music, improvisation on instruments, or engaging in songwriting, is tailored to the specific needs and strengths presented by my clients. I actively listen and provide support to participants, by playing my own music and through verbal reflections. No musical training is required to participate in music therapy.

I am a licensed psychologist working with adult clients in individual therapy. I have worked with a wide range of clients in my practice and use a collaborative and strength based approach that includes CBT, humanistic, and solution focused modalities. I help clients deal with issues such as stress management, depression, anxiety, burn out and trauma. I also specialize in the area of multicultural counseling, teaching, and training. I actively contribute to the discipline and study of psychology through graduate level teaching and scholarly publications that have focused on issues of acculturation, cultural identity and cross-cultural transitions.

Do you struggle with emotional pain and grief that you would like to process through music? I work with adults experiencing grief and loss, bereavement, life transitions, emotional pain, anxiety, depression, and stress. I use music therapy to help my clients increase self-awareness, ease pain, develop self-soothing techniques, and restore well-being. We will harness your natural love of music to create personal transformation. Music Therapy is a certified profession. I completed a masters degree with a focus on music therapy for psychological health, and my approach is trauma-informed.

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.

We, as human beings, all face difficult times during our lives. These phases can leave us feeling out of control and isolated. The simple act of choosing change in your life can help you to feel empowered and on a path to a greater sense of well-being. As an integrative therapist (using cognitive behavioral, supportive, interpersonal and existential techniques), I will first help you to define your goals and then support you as you work towards achieving them. Using those techniques that best suit your particular needs and styles, we will effectively create a New Therapy tailored specifically for you.

I have over 25 years experience, and extensive training specializing in therapy with people whose relationships have become places of fear, insecurity, and loneliness, where bonds of emotional safety, trust and intimacy have gradually eroded. I offer a short-term, emotionally focused approach (EFT) that's scientifically proven and highly successful in creating greater closeness, a way back to the heart of your relationship. When the connection that you'd hoped to depend on forever seems lost, replaced by distance and confusion, I can help you rekindle intimacy and compassion, a secure bond you can depend on even in hard times.
